I am a deeply superficial person.

So many people have so many problems. When you think that health is wealth, you're so grateful just to be normal, more or less. Aren't you?

You have to be willing to get happy about nothing.

At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.

Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.

You can be just as faithful to a place or a thing as you can to a person. A place can really make your heart skip a beat, especially if you have to take a plane to get there.

I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.
