INTERVIEWERBecause of your isolation and all the rejections, did you ever think: This is not my profession. I should really be doing something else.
KENNEDYNo, I never thought that. As I used to say on Thursday afternoons—when I was on my day off from the Albany Times and waiting for the muse to descend and discovering that it was the muse’s day off too—you have to beat the bastards. I didn’t even know who the bastards were, but you have to beat somebody. You have to beat your own problematic imagination to discover what it is you’re saying and how to say it and move forward into the unknown.
