I thought after the Pulitzer at least nothing will surprise me quite that much in my life. And another one happened. It was quite amazing.

I do read books. I suppose it's more or less the same thing but at least I'm alone and I'm an individual. I can stop anytime I want which I frequently do.

But it seems that the judging maybe they shouldn't at least see the practices all week long. That can taint the way they go into the judging and the outlook of what's going to happen instead of just watching those four minutes and judging on those minutes alone.

I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.

It's important for moms to have alone time. However that's the first thing that goes on a busy day. Fortunately for me because of my job I have to find the time to do it. At least that's the way my mind sees it.

Then stirs the feeling infinite so felt In solitude where we are least alone.

Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.

The idea of regretting not doing this seemed insane to me. Sitting in the corner at a bar at age 60 saying: 'I could've been Bond. Buy me a drink.' That's the saddest place I could be. At least now at 60 I can say: 'I was Bond. Now buy me a drink.'

Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want you can at least get out of the way so you won't get run over.

Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
