Ive really written my books for my husband and our family. Theyve brought us closer together by allowing us to discuss things that were unspoken for so long.

Most people who went about saying a ghost had poked them with a brolly would be locked up somewhere.

There seems to be this impression that if I really am a psychotherapist, I cant be serious about it. They think there must be something fishy going on.

Being in one's 50s is a powerful time.

I don't think I'm generous enough to be the straight guy. I sort of make my own way and make my own statement. Do I mind pushing myself forward? Not at all.

I loved my life, but my choices were overloading and overwhelming me. Listening to inner feelings and fulfilling some of these urges when they come along is incredibly important.

Perfect objectivity is always impossible, no matter who writes a person's biography.
