Guys with nice person names try to be sympathetic.

in Los Angeles ... was the thinking-est crowd on earth: how to get ahead, how to mold a better body, how to have a better relationship, how to score, earn, fight, win, get published, be a star.

People think they own time. They have watches and clocks and digital pulses. But they are wrong. Time owns them.

But I found my family. I found the right thing to do. I found the way home.

I wonder why we always deny love. I remember in middle school, if you were accused of the crime of loving, you screamed denials constantly and stopped ever even looking at the boy you were accused of liking. The boys could destroy each other by yodeling, "An-drew lo-oves Jen-nie," and both Andrew and Jennie would flinch and blush. Love is this great thing that most songs and books and poems and lives are all about. So the minute we actually think there might be love around, we start laughing and pretending and hiding from it.

I believe my voice is pretty much the same. I've written 75 books, so I'm better at it now than I was earlier in my career
