My teenage years were spent trying to look like Rod Stewart - I ended up looking like Dave Hill from Slade.

The most convincing argument against early parenthood is that you are in a relationship that is likely to fall apart before that child grows up.

Love means knowing when to let go.

I once read somewhere that, in any relationship, the one who cares the least is the one with all the power.

I don't think much of anything I wrote before the age of 30.

I am a sweet old softy, but it took toughness to get through what I went through.

You have to give kids from ordinary families a ladder. You have to show them there's a way out.
