I have done nothing wrong.

You should never accept what can be offered to you if you feel it can be improved.

The homes I like the best are totally occupied, busy, and useful, whether it's a tiny little house or a great big one. Rarely do you find a great big house that's used in a good way. So I prefer smaller spaces that are full of books, full of things that people are doing.

Of course I know how to roll a joint.

I was the second of six kids. I wouldn't say we were poor; we had no money. That's different.

The subject matter that I am really spending my time on has become an acceptable subject matter. Living, lifestyle, family, is now in the forefront of interest in America, and I've just stuck with it. I mean, I've been doing this for years, and I never got angry. I never said, you know, listen, I'm fighting for this subject. That wasn't my point. My point was to continue working in a subject matter, knowing full well that finally it would be recognized as a viable subject once again.

You have to focus on what's important to you and go for it. But don't stab people in the back. It poisons your whole life if you're like that.
