There is nothing more attractive than a man who is not a New Man.

The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness and kindness, can be trained to do most things.

The bank told us we ought to sell this house to pay off our overdraft. Riders saved the day. I was so pleased when it got to number one, I went all around the fields crying and crying.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
