You can start any 'Monty Python' routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand.

My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings. And a favorite book as a child? Growing up, it was 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' - I would read the whole C.S. Lewis series out loud to my kids. I was once reading to Zelda, and she said 'don't do any voices. Just read it as yourself.' So I did, I just read it straight, and she said 'that's better.'

In down times I do things like go for a long bike ride or run. The other thing I'm doing in that quiet time is just observing.

My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.

Taking Viagra after open heart surgery is like a Civil War re-enactment with live ammo. Not good.

Compassionate conservative, that's like having a gun rack on a Volvo.

Cocaine for me was a place to hide. Most people get hyper on coke. It slowed me down. Sometimes it made me paranoid and impotent, but mostly it just made me withdrawn.
