Talk Show Host/Novelist Craig Ferguson, The Late, Late Show, tells New York magazine why he decided to write a novel (Between the Bridge and the River):

"I’d written a couple of screenplays, and I wanted to be able to write something where I didn’t have to get anyone else’s permission or worry about demographics. For a lot of my life, I’ve been trying to figure out who is someone like me. Then I realized I don’t fucking care anymore."

There goes a recipe for success for you. (via Bookslut)
