I have become my own father.

I think my mother was like a small company which, because things are not ship-shape, keeps two sets of books, one for the auditors and then there's the other one.

And one thing about Mick Jagger is he keeps his eye very closely on not only where the dollars go but where the pennies go.

One of the things I find in writing about people who are dead is that, after a short or long time, no matter how close the relationship was, they become like characters in fiction.
