It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.

I've simplified much more in my writing. I say what I've got to say, not in metaphor.

I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, "the press."

I like my work, but my life always comes first. I always wanted to have a beautiful life, and the way to do it is in show business.

I've got a lot of little compulsive problems, and I've thought about it a lot. And one of the things I ask myself is, 'What are the things I can do that won't hurt me and will help me?' The first answer is work.

The nice thing about us lot is that what we do is of no consequence. We don't do things that are important; we spend our lives doing things which are not important. That's what's nice about us, we're not pompous. We never do anything very bad that's gonna change the world. We're not serious, we're butterflies. We live for a day.

I have to watch out for being lazy.
