“One of the saddest realities is that we never know when our lives are at their peak. Only after it is over and we have some kind of perspective do we realize how good we had it a day, a month, five years ago.”

“Most men, no matter how well or badly dressed, carry overstuffed, beat up wallets that should have been replaced years ago. Why is that? Every time I see a guy take out a wallet anywhere, it looks like a piece of old melted chocolate cake-with strings.”

“Just write about what bites you and damn the rest.”

“I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.”

“I have never heard anyone say This is it. I know right now is the high point of my life. It will never get any better. Only in retrospect do we recognize the best times and of course then it is too late.”

“Even the handsomest men do not have the same momentary effect on the world as a truly beautiful woman does.”

“I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it's just a great month of parading.”

“I'm slow by nature; even if I write something fast, I'll let it sit for a month and hem and haw over it.”

“The fact that they're a congressionally chartered group should no more incline people to give to that group than the fact that it's National Pickle Month should make them eat more pickles.”

“Every year, every day, every month, I am proving myself.”

“I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that's three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.”

“We only work four days a week, we only work three weeks out of the month, and we get four months off for the summer. So there's plenty of time for me to spend with the kids.”
