I definitely divide my life into decades. Almost every ten years, something in my work life has changed. My twenties were my journalistic phase, then there was my screenwriting phase, then I became a director, then I started doing some plays.

Whenever someone says the words 'Our friendship is more important than this,' watch out, because it almost never is.

Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.

When something like this happens, you suddenly have no sense of reality at all. You have lost a piece of your past. The infidelity itself is small potatoes compared to the low-level brain damage that results when a whole chunk of your life turns out to have been completely different from what you thought it was. It becomes impossible to look back at anything that's happened ... without wondering what was really going on.

I’m really not interested in women as victims. Look at me, I get the last laugh ‘cause I get to be funny about it.

You can blame Al Gore and you can blame Ralph Nader and you can blame George Bush, but I blame Bill [Clinton]. I just do. I just think he squandered his presidency the night that woman delivered that pizza to him, and if he hadn't, we wouldn't be where we are and there would be a lot of people who are alive today who aren't.

I'm very much a believer in knowing what it is that you love doing so you can do a great deal of it.
