The key to... being a good writer is to treat yourself like a baby, extremely nurturing and loving, and then switch over to Lou Gossett in 'An Officer and a Gentleman,' and just be a harsh prick, ballbusting son of a bitch. 'That is just not good enough. That's got to come out, or it's got to be redone, or thrown away.' So, flipping back and forth between those two brain quadrants is the key to writing.
