When I got sober, I thought giving up was saying goodbye to all the fun and all the sparkle, and it turned out to be just the opposite. That's when the sparkle started for me.

Most of the people I write about I'm still in touch with, so I would be loath to make up stuff about them.

Having a great dad probably permitted me to pal around with guys in a way that some women don't.

The Audio Home Recording Act directly says that noncommercial copying by consumers is lawful.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

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.
