Me, I'm spiritually retarded, I need to be knee deep in water with a fly rod in my hands, that's about as close to God as I get.

The stupidest thing that a writer can do is write a memoir I think, unless it's right before you die -- maybe.

I don't usually read reviews.

I'm not going to waste a second feeling sorry for myself because I'm not a bigger star than I am. I can walk down the street in most places in the world and I still drive really nice cars.

My therapist says that I choose women that I couldn't possibly succeed in a relationship with because I really want to be alone. Which sounds complicated and convoluted to me, but I don't know. Maybe she's right. There's a part of me that wants that.

I grew up counterculture. I'm essentially a hippie, and I'm essentially a folkie.

I'm supposed to make people cry, but not by manipulating.
