In general, I always make it my mission to focus on the one person in the audience who seems to be absolutely miserable about being there and try to convert them.

My parents have seen their ups-and-downs but are still married after 40 years, so that's something.

I have a black Grandma and white Grandma. My white Grandma lives in Fort Lauderdale, paints, and teaches bridge. She's wonderful. My black Grandma, equally wonderful, is my neighbor across the street, Bobbie, who's always insisted that I call her Grandma, and honestly, over the years she's become a real Grandma to me.

I'm trying to quit huffing epoxy glue out of grocery bags.

Every day when I open the mail I encounter a find with a brand-new brew of story and emotion.

There’s no key to the universe, you just have to point your way in one direction, keep going, keep going, keep going, and see what happens.

I've always given a lot of advice, whether I'm asked for it or not.
