People forget that unauthorized does not mean untrue and authorized does not mean authentic.

It would be morally reprehensible not to tell the truth... Everything I have written has stood the test of time.

I would love to do an unauthorized biography about Congress. It's like a secret society up there.

I tend to place my own value in spirituality rather than religiosity.

I am what is known as a benched Catholic and disillusioned by the church doctrine. I believe in things the Catholic Church does not believe in: divorce being one, and a women's right to choose being another.

I was raised Irish Catholic and went to Holy Names Academy, an all-girl's private Catholic school. I loved the nuns there and I love them to this day.

My biography of Frank Sinatra is not paean to his music but rather an illumination of the man behind the music, who once described himself as 'an 18-karat manic-depressive who lived a life of violent emotional contradictions with an over-acute capacity for sadness as well as happiness.
