The definition of an asshole is someone who doesn't believe what he is seeing.

When asked, 'How do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time.'

...it was more like bleeding than crying.

I like to hang out clothes on windy days. Sometimes that's all I feel like. A sheet on a line.

When I gave up dope and alcohol, my immediate feeling was 'I've saved my life, but there'll be a price because I'll have nothing that buzzes me any more'. But I enjoyed my kids. My wife loved me and I loved her. And eventually the writing came back and I discovered that the writing was enough. Stupid thing is that probably it always had been.

There seems to be no air in the air she breaths.

Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?
