What Turns James Lipton On

Description

James Lipton, creator and host of "Inside the Actors Studio", discusses his love of words and writing.

Transcript
Question: What lessons has your career as a writer taught you? James Lipton: I must confess that when I’m alone in my study, here in New York, writing; that’s when I’m happy. Really, that’s when I’m unequivocally happy. I may be writing well, I may be writing poorly, but I enjoy the act of writing and sometimes when it turns out okay, I feel an elation that is incomparable. A good day’s writing, when I turn off my computer after I know that I’ve written okay, or as well as I can write, that’s a day well spent. The Pivot Questionnaire that I ask other people, when I have on a rare occasion answered it, the answer to the question, “What turns you on?” Is words. Not mine, other people’s. Words, words, words, that’s what turns me on. So, I would say that writing, both the act of writing, and of course reading of other people’s work is for me supreme joy, always accepting the greatest joy of all which is the time that I get to spend with my wife.
