When we talk about the kind of folks whose lives will be made better by raising the minimum wage, we're not talking about a couple teenagers earning extra spending money to supplement their allowance. We're talking about providers and breadwinners. W...
I can't write about rich people having relationship problems and breaking up in New York. I don't know that world of Terrence McNally. I knew I had to write people who talk the way I talk. And they talked very different than Terrence McNally.

Well, of course, you can't expect people to rearrange their minds in five minutes. And I'm not good at this. And I don't want to do it. It's a bore, anyway. Unfortunately I know what will happen if I keep on; I'll say that if we are going to talk abo...

My best quality is that I talk to everyone. My worst quality is that I talk to everyone.
I can't abide small talk.
I'm not a good small talker. I'm not into small talk, frankly.
Don't like small talk, love rainy days.
On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.
Faith keeps the world going.
