I've spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I'm not irresponsible.
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
I'm not a walking extra in a Chekhov play; I'm no Slavic gloom or Irish gloom. I mark only the happy hours, like the sundial, because otherwise I would have gone nuts.
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
I have no great message to the world.
I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.
