You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.

I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.

I forgive nothing. If you stole my orange crayon in the fifth grade, you're still on my hit list, buddy.

The fact that I’m silent doesn’t mean I have nothing to say.

I had always liked blind dates. If nothing else, it was an interesting way of discovering what people thought of you.

Real love is always chaotic. You lose control; you lose perspective. You lose the ability to protect yourself. The greater the love, the greater the chaos. It’s a given and that’s the secret.
