Quotes
I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can’t get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That’s in friendship, that’s a deal, that’s a commitment. Don’t give me paper – I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that’s for life.

I don’t want to be remembered. I want the nice words when I can hear them.

I think it has helped that I am so curious about what has been happening to me and that I have enjoyed watching the changes through my life, you know? I didn’t know what was going to happen to me next.

I happen to believe in the human condition so strongly that I don’t have to make up games to play with people. Here’s what I think: If it’s good, let’s go for it. If it needs work to be better, let’s work on it.

I really am opinionated, but not for long. I have found myself coming off of what I think of something because the guy I’m talking to makes better sense than I am. I have so many points of view, I can’t keep track of ’em, because I talk to too many people… I’m not so opinionated that I won’t budge.
