Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.

Even if I knew for certain that I would never have anything published again, and would never make another cent from it, I would still keep on writing.

All children have creative power.

Philosophy! Empty thinking by ignorant conceited men who think they can digest without eating!

I always tell my kids that as soon as you have a secret, something about you that you are ashamed to have others find out, you have given other people the power to hurt you by exposing you.

As a young boy, I did a lot of foolish things. I made a lot of mistakes. And you live and learn.
