"I'm a commercial writer. I'm not in this for arts sake. I'm in it to make money. It's my way of living. My machine is the typewriter. That's my tool. And I tell everybody that; 'This is a commercial business with me'. And a lot of them think this is a terrible thing to say; 'You should do it for arts sake'. Baloney, arts sake! This is the way I like to live. It allows me to do anything I want."
