More From Gerry Mulligan

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
I like playing on this team. we actually been doin' real good. got a different mix here. most important thing is you gotta keep pickin' up in paces. that's why we're playing contentious play. we got top names, guys can still hit in the majors, guys been out of the game hittin' the ball, shockin' it. don't have no old, old guys. not sayin' they don't get a good job done. fact is, they've been vice versa. so that's incentive right there. it's been a plus.

Writing more and more to the sound of music, writing more and more like music. sitting in my studio tonight, playing record after record, writing, music a stimulant of the highest order, far more potent than wine.
Music Writing Wine
I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.
Writing Play Long
Essentially, the scripts are not that different. let's say, in literary terms, it's the difference between writing horizontally and writing vertically. in live television, you wrote much more vertically. you had to probe people because you didn't have money or sets or any of the physical dimensions that film will allow you. so you generally probed people a little bit more. film writing is much more horizontal. you can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the taj mahal, a cast of thousands. but essentially, writing a story is writing a story.
Writing Differences People
No matter how many times people say it - 'oh, i'm just writing this for myself' 'oh, i'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! you're doing it for an audience. so whether i'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely.

Plasticene and self-expression will not solve the problems of education. nor will technology and vocational guidance; nor the classics and the hundred best books.
Education Book Technology
A book is really like a lover. it arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful. even as a kid, my sister, who was the eldest, brought books home for me, and i think i spent more time sniffing and touching them than reading. i just remember the joy of the book, the beauty of the binding. the smelling of the interior. happy.
Beautiful Book Reading
Luckily, i always travel with a book, just in case i have to wait on line for santa, or some such inconvenience.
Book Waiting Lines
A monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of knowledge is for monks.
