Always Accepting The Greatest Joy Of All

Comedians Don't Laugh. They're Too Busy Analyzing Why It's Funny Or Not.

I Stopped Writing At The Age Of 18. I Had Written Incessantly Before That. I Read, Of Course, Because I Was In University, But I Wasn't Going To Write. I Wasn't Going To Do Any Of Those Dangerous Things. I Was Going To Be A Stolid, Bourgeois Lawyer.

When I Went To School, My Intention Was To Be A Lawyer. When I Attended University That Was Still The Clear Intention; I Was Going To Be A Lawyer. Why? Because It Was As Far As I Could Get From My Father's Antics And World. I Thought That The World Of The Arts Probably Led People Into The Kind Of Behavior I Had Seen With Him And That Had Resulted In A Lot Of Hard Times For My Mother And Me.

I May Be Writing Well, I May Be Writing Poorly, But I Enjoy The Act Of Writing And Sometimes When It Turns Out Okay, I Feel An Elation That Is Incomparable.

Life Is Just A Box Of Chocolates.
