I would never write a memoir, because it would be too boring.

When I was seventeen, I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing - it was far too much responsibility for someone my age.

Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family, I have little time for anything else.

You can't have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front - or a happy without a sad.

The first sip of beer on a hot day is like that first finger-dip when you open a new jar of peanut butter.
