I've been sober for 25. And every day I am very grateful that I don't drink.

When I'm writing, I thoroughly enjoy it. It just goes on.

It's one day at a time, that's all there is to it, and so I don't have to worry about it. All I do is, okay, I do not have to drink. And if I feel like it, I postpone it for ten minutes, and that way I find something else to do in the meantime.

Limericks don't come from Limerick. But it comes from that between the verses when they used to have those competitions that they would put in the refrain, "follow me up, follow me up, follow me up to Limerick Town."

When I'm writing in long hand, it just goes on and on and on. When I was in the saloon business, I would just greet people and talk to them and avoid taxes, and getting behind the bar. What else.

I think people are so disillusioned with the parties. It's one party with two different names, and they are so spineless.

I am full of theories that are based on a very liquid foundation, because I used to be a drinker.
