I think globally and act locally.

I don't know anything about the Appalachian mountains or cowboys and Indians or anything. I just made it up.

To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em.

Sadness isn't sadness. It's happiness in a black jacket. Tears are not tears. They're balls of laughter dipped in salt. Death is not death. It's life that's jumped off a tall cliff.

You see, my mother was a district nurse until she died when I was 14, and we used to move from time to time because of her work.

When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.

I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know.
