I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.

I don't want to beat people over the head with my political views. It's more about the humanitarian aspect of it.

I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.

I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.

Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it.

The thing about Alzheimer's is that it's... it's sort of like all these little, small deaths along the way, before they actually physically die.

You can't really praise somebody's work and then criticize the process.
