So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.

My autobiography was simply the story of my life.

Far as I can tell, I still have most of my hair, my gut is not hanging over my belt, and I still have all of my teeth.

I'm going to quit writing.

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

I don't very often read novels.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.
