How Did I Stumble Upon This?

An weird interview with David Foster Wallace and Charlie Rose from 1997.  Oh, I know, I was reading about David Webb Peoples and DFW says in this interview when Charlie asks him about writing screenplays, he said it didn't really interest him unless he could do it like Peoples.  Anyhow, I like this little bit about what DFW will do after getting a fellowship for a year:
I will -- if past -- if past experience holds true, I will probably write an hour a day and spend eight hours a day biting my knuckle and worrying about not writing.
Nice to know he suffers like the rest of us.  Although I guess it doesn't totally bode well because he later killed himself, too.
