I love silence. I seek and create it at every opportunity. I need it to work.

When I was a kid, our family used to watch 'Bonanza.' I really liked having a Sunday night TV ritual.

That thing you had to force yourself to do-the actual act of writing-turns out to be the best part.

Left to my own devices, my first inclination is to mess in other people's lives. I secretly believe my whole family, and really the whole world, is my responsibility.

Sometimes I think that Jesus watches my neurotic struggles, and shakes his head and grips his forehead and starts tossing back mojitos.

You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind.

Listen to your broccoli and it will tell you how to eat it.
