WHORES AND LIARS
just starting a literary magazine, here in this back alley
A few weeks ago I was at a panel discussion where the TV writer/showrunner David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood, the upcoming Luck), known for his powerful intellect and oratorical abilities, talked for a bit about his philosophy of how an artist (in his case, a TV showrunner) should go about striving to get his art into the world (i.e. get his show on the air). He said you have to lie like hell.
