I can't not put humor in a book.

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.

A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.

Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?

Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

Getting older is a lot of fun. Right up there with chewing glass or putting your hand in a blender.

When I die, if the word 'thong' appears in the first or second sentence of my obituary, I've screwed up.

You're not saving lives, Dad. You can't save lives when no one's living anymore. (Maddie)

I do acrylic paint, oil paint, and caustic. Caustic is melted wax. It really depends on the painting, what vibe I'm looking for. That's really what matters.

I think a moment of critical energy has suddenly emerged. But moments like this come and go unless we seize them at their height.

Error, by force of contrast, enhances the triumph of Truth.

A lot of families deal with messy, inconvenient situations. Because that's life. Life doesn't turn out and it's not perfect. My life hasn't been perfect but it's what I'm going to make out of it.

Who knows whether it is not true that phosphorus and mind are not the same thing?
