Acting is glamour but writing is hard work, so I’m going to be an actress.

The second draft is on yellow paper, that’s when I work on characterizations. The third is pink, I work on story motivations. Then blue, that’s where I cut, cut, cut.

I wanted to write it long before I wrote Every Night, Josephine! I’d been thinking about it a long time.
