It is important not to show too many inches at once.

I like smartasses, because I can be smartass back and rashy.

I write all day every day, so when I feel unproductive, it magnifies everything else.

My love is inside me where my fat was.

I always want to sleep on the third date.

Friends are a special kind of love because they are there for one another like no other relationship can be.

Waiting is a form of passive persistence.

I had one typewriter for 50 years, but I have bought seven computers in six years. I suppose that's why Bill Gates is rich, and Underwood is out of business.

As a person you want to be respected. Respect is always important to me.

While I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment.
