I'm lucky to have a great support system in my friends and some of my family. If you have those people that you trust go ahead and fall back into them and let them be your hammock and cocoon and let them embrace you.
I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.
This may sound funny but as much as the 'Today' show matured me it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk saying 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'
If you are killed because you are a writer that's the maximum expression of respect you know.
