I never wrote anything down. i never kept a diary, never kept a journal. i did write one letter home about touring with the doors that i used as a reference for the book for some details there, and then i was glad i had that, but that was it.

I Never Wrote Anything Down. I Never

Linda Ronstadt

More From Linda Ronstadt

I'm so old that when i started keeping a diary they were in actual books, and i think that's one the reasons that i've never written about sex. because early on you had to worry that someone was going to find your diary, so it's bad enough to be writing like joan didion, but writing like joan didion about sex acts you'd performed with somebody you had known for 20 minutes, that's a bit worse. so i would write in my diary, "i met j. and we had sex five times last night." but i would never write about what we did.

Darling, you asked me to write you a letter, so i am writing you a letter. i do not know why i am writing you this letter, or what this letter is supposed to be about, but i am writing it nonetheless, because i love you very much and trust that you have some good purpose for having me write this letter. i hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love. your father

I wrote a letter to my dad - i wrote, "i really enjoy being here," but i accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. but i still wanted to use it, so i wrote, "i rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of stuff you don't know about me. quit trying to act like i'm a steamboat operator." this letter took a harsh turn right away.

Richard wrote a mental diary in his head. dear diary, he began. on friday i had a job, a fiance, a home, and a life that made sense. (well, as much as an life makes sense). then i found an injured girl bleeding on the pavement and i tried to be good samaritan. now i've got no fiance, no home, no job, and i'm walking around a couple of hundred feet under the streets of london with the projected life expectancy of a suicidal fruit fly.
Girl Friday Jobs
There were doors that looked like large keyholes, others that resembled the entrances to caves, there were golden doors, some were padded and some were studded with nails, some were paper-thin and others as thick as the doors of treasure houses; there was one that looked like a giant's mouth and another that had to be opened like a drawbridge, one that suggested a big ear and one that was made of gingerbread, one that was shaped like an oven door, and one that had to be unbuttoned.

You must get into the habit of looking intensely at words, and assuring yourself of their meaning, syllable by syllable-nay, letter by letter... you might read all the books in the british museum (if you could live long enough) and remain an utterly "illiterate," undeducated person; but if you read ten pages of a good book, letter by letter, - that is to say, with real accuracy- you are for evermore in some measure an educated person.

Once public opinion is convinced that the increase in the quantity of money will continue and never come to an end, and that consequently the prices of all commodities will not cease to rise, everybody becomes eager to buy as much as possible and restrict his cash holdings to minimum size... if the credit expansion is not stopped in time, the boom turns to crack-up boom: the flight into real values begins, and the whole monetary system founders.
Real Public Opinion Cracks
We are rag dolls made out of many ages and skins, changelings who have slept in wood nests, and hissed in the uncouth guise of waddling amphibians. we have played such roles for infinitely longer ages than we have been human. our identity is a dream. we are process, not reality.
Dream Sleep Reality
Personally i don't think there's any real intrinsic difference between comic books, movies, theatre, novels. i know there's sure to be some differences of some sorts. i've worked on novels, films, and video games, and in an adaptation, i guess one of the issues is that i have to be in love with the thing i'm adapting before i do it. so that can cause a problem. you can be too scared of it. you could be too reverential. but at the same time you want to try to capture this thing that you're obsessed by. you're fixated for a reason. what's the reason? you try to get ahold of it.
Real Book Thinking
I think you can get away with so much more offensiveness when you're operating behind a stuffed teddy bear or a cartoon or something that's not real, because it's forgiven. it's like having a little kid in a movie curse - it's funny because it's not natural.
