Joan organizes our social life, and on weekends I follow her around.

I really don't know what I am going to do in terms of what a book is going to be about until I actually start writing it!

I didn't have to say it. I just had to write it. It was painful enough.

I'm facing Niagara Falls - the wind and the mist and the dark and the peregrine falcons - and I'm going to stay focused on the other side.

Apparently, all I do is walk my dogs. In L.A., I have more of a yard existence, and so I enjoy walking my two little dogs in New York - one's a Maltese and the other's a Shih Tzu.

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.
