It's very IMPORTANT to write THINGS down instantly, or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I WAKE up at 3 in the morning and THINK of something, I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.
This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, 'What are you doing this Saturday?' and they'll be PLAYING video games or WATCHING cable, instead of building model cars or AIRPLANES or doing something creative. KIDS today never say, 'Man, I'm REALLY into remote-controlled steamboats.'
