Travel definitely affects me as a writer.
I've been getting into Nick Drake lately the folk singer. Sad gorgeous stuff.
There's no need to travel further. The Los Angeles area is big enough for us.
I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13 I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working sports and school I hardly ever had free time.
