There’s a bunch of mind-blowing moments in this podcast, including:
How he kept writing after a couple of big ol’ Broadway disasters that would have sent most people to law school.
Where he got the inspiration for Driving Miss Daisy, and the magic words he heard from his agent when she read it.
Musicals and plays . . . and the different skills needed for both.
His process of sitting down and writing, and how that has changed since he began.
Writing what you know . . . the pros and the cons.
