“If I wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul and it sells five million copies, now I want to write Chicken Soup for the Automobile, Chicken Soup for the Fountain Pen, Chicken Soup for the Computer Console; doesn't that make a certain amount of sense as opposed to the theory of shirking from the newfound creative identity?”
