Doctors and lawyers must go to school for years and years, often with little sleep and with great sacrifice to their first wives.

Twitter. It's not a good sound, is it? If it were worth doing, there would be a better word for it.

If a cat spoke, it would say things like, 'Hey, I don't see the problem here.'

Being president of too many well-meaning organizations put my father into an early grave. The lesson in this was not lost on me.

I do not know what the cat can have eaten. Usually I know exactly what the cat has eaten. Not only have I fed it to the cat, at the cat's insistence, but the cat has thrown it up on the rug, and someone has tracked it all over onto the other rug. I do not know why cats are such habitual vomiters. They do not seem to enjoy it, judging by the sounds they make while they are doing it. It's their nature. A dog is going to bark. A cat is going to vomit.

I do not Twitter. I don't want to Twitter, and I don't see any point in Twittering. The last thing I want to do is tell people what I'm doing at the moment because I'm probably not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ.
