Whether it was work, marriage, or family, I've always been a late bloomer.

When you're young, there's so much that you can't take in. It's pouring over you like a waterfall. When you're older, it's less intense, but you're able to reach out and drink it. I love being older.

There's a lot of conning as part of our society, I think.

Never burn bridges. Today's junior jerk, tomorrow's senior partner.

Wildness is not just the "preservation of the world," it is the world

If I had been living through the '80s, I probably would've gotten into a lot more trouble than my parents.

A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
