I tell my children, shut up and let me speak. What I've learned, I have been married for 45 years and in my own family It is that I've learned to stop being judgmental, to listen.

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

That's my punishment in hell, shoveling horseshit.

I stay in the present, so I don't know about the future.

Here am I, a human being and that has a body that is getting old. And I only have one, I can't trade it in.

To lose one parent is a tragedy, to lose both is utter carelessness.

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