In fact, looking back, it seems to me that I was clueless until I was about 50-years-old.

That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.

Having been married so many times, I know that one of the few things I am an expert in is falling in love.

With any child entering adolescence, one hunts for signs of health, is desperate for the smallest indication that the child's problems will never be important enough for a television movie.

Another thing you end up doing when you get older, is you spend so much time sort of trying desperately to keep from just looking just a little older. You're just constantly putting stuff on your face and having things removed from yourself and opening up copies of "Vogue" so that you can find new ways to throw whatever money you've managed to save into the arms of some doctor who has just come up with a new way of lasering your face that feels like electroshock and all these things.

Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape.

In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
