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 am an alcoholic, as I said. And it is however we call it, a disease. That's an explanation, but not an excuse.

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

They don't allow a dying on the highway. No Passing. They give you a ticket if you die on the highway.

The future has to do with fear. Don't attempt to come up here. Don't attempt to go forward, you were nobody, you are nobody, and you'll always be nothing, so don't even think about coming here because if you do, something awful will happen to you.

I absolutely love the public transportation system in New York. No matter what, no matter how people complain, it is the best in the world.
