You can't write a children's book that takes more than five or six minutes to read, because it will drive the parents batty. It has to be compact. Nobody thinks about the parents when they write these stupid books. I could write longer children's books, but it would actually be bad if I did.

I don't watch that much comedy. I think it's professional jealousy. That and a lack of support for my community.

The Atkins' diet is where you eat bacon for six or seven months...and the end result is that you lose weight. Because you're dead.

I take my coffee like I take my women... strong... black... and proud.

Your harshest critic is always going to be yourself. Don't ignore that critic, but don't give it more attention than it deserves.

Whatever I write I publish. Because that's where the money is.

My fear is if I expose myself, not so much that I'll be hurt, but that the reaction will be "Is that all there is? Is that the entirety of you? Because it's boring."
