I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.

We've seen some insane signs: 'Is that a loaf of bread in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?' Funny stuff along those lines. Very original. One just said 'I will do unspeakable things.' I thought that was very interesting - and mildly terrifying!

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

Ray Bradbury is for many reasons the most influential writer in my life. Throughout our long friendship Ray supplied not only his terrific stories but a grand model of what a writer could be should be and yet rarely is: brilliant and charming and accessible willing to tolerate and to teach happy to inspire but also to be inspired.

Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy it lessens our cares by dividing them at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

I've never had anything but the freedom to do what I wanted just as long as it made me happy.
