I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.

My own life would make a pretty dull story, I think, and I envy him as I drive to work on a cold Minnesota morning across the Mississippi River with its coal barges still struggling upstream like so many of us nowadays.

God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.

Secret of life is to go through something harrowing that doesn't kill you...and to love one woman for the rest of your life.

I'm of an age when if I started to do eulogies, I'd be doing nothing else. You don't want to be remembered? I don't want them to be told to remember me.
