Very few people are original. There's very little original anything out there. Because to be original means you have to stand alone.

For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series which means that as much as possible each book stands alone so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.

Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.

People must insist on the right to say no to be alone to stand out from the herd. Creative artists can say all this in their own way and in their own field by hard rigorous work.

I understand and get when kids and teenagers feel like they're alone and it's not going to get better. My advice is that there is a support system out there there are a lot of people who have been through what you're going through and are going through it now.

I had to weave and play around with a honey bear you know and I could wrestle with him a little bit but there's no way you can even wrestle a honey bear let alone a grizzly bear that's standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal.

I learned why 'out riding alone' is an oxymoron: An equestrian is never alone is always sensing the other being the mysterious but also understandable living being that is the horse.

The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone and if you make a mistake it's your mistake. If you hit a home run it's your home run.

I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.

Well I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
