Don't make a threat and then not do it.

I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

I like to write about things that are extreme in some form. I like to write about something I feel I have to write about.

And I really wanted a driver's license. I was 43, had my learner's permit and had failed the test once already - but that was in Riverhead, on Long Island.

I was the oldest child, and both my parents worked, so I had a great deal of responsibility from a very young age.

Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

Yes I think I'm okay, walked into the door again.
