My life is, in a sense, trash. My life is only that of which the residue is my writing.
My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that I've ever had in my life.
A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.
Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.
Fathering is a major job, but I need both things in my life: my job to be a director, and my kids to direct me.

The characteristics of this kind of reading are perhaps summed up in the word “orthodox,” which is almost always applicable. The word comes from two Greek roots, meaning “right opinion.” These are books for which there is one and only one rig...
Perhaps it was that I wanted to see what I had learned, what I had read, what I had imagined, that I would never be able to see the city of London without seeing it through the overarching scrim of every description of it I had read before. When I tu...
Ashe was typical of that strata of mankind which conducts its human relationships according to a principle of challenge and response. Where there was softness, he would advance; where he found resistance, retreat. Having himself no particular opinion...
[L]asting love is something a person has to to experience. Lifelong monogamous devotion is just not natural—not for women even, and emphatically not for men. It requires what, for lack of a better term, we can call an act of will. . . . This isn't ...
