“My mother turned into a professional widow. She couldn't understand wh...” — David Antin Quote

My mother turned into a professional widow. She couldn't understand why I wanted to be an engineer; she thought I should be a chicken farmer.

I reserve the right to tell shaggy dog stories or even common jokes as part of what I'm doing. I don't give a damn if half the audience walks out.

A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in a white suit with a pair of binoculars.

I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.

I didn't think about whether I was writing poems. I was thinking. And the more I was thinking, the more there was I didn't understand.

Before every show, I eat half a rotisserie chicken.

We've done some stand-alone cookbooks that have been very successful, like 'Great Curries,' 'Perfect Pies,' 'Meat Feasts,' so why not 'Chicken & Egg?'

I'll come in from playing tennis in the morning and eat leftover grilled chicken.

I can get away with eating bad, just in moderation. But I mostly eat a lot of fish and chicken.

I like to eat a whole lot. I have an inner chubby girl, and her name is Mabel, and I feed Mabel a lot. I give her what she wants. If Mabel wants a honey bun, she gets it. If Mabel wants Krispy Kreme, she gets it. If Mabel wants fried chicken or ham hocks, she gets what she wants.
