Writing is such a solitary thing, so it's nice, when I'm discouraged, to see people still have such faith in fiction.
America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.
Big will always be a part of my life. But I'm still on this Earth, so I have to live my life for now and the future.
My wife's a loving, funny, Irish-spirited person, and I'm still surprised at some of the things she says. She makes me laugh every day.
When I was 12, I snapped my arm in two. My wrist still has a funny bump because they didn't join it back together so great.
I think there's a notion in our society, and it may be valid, that people aren't as funny when they get older. It's a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth.
The funny thing is, strangers still seem to feel comfortable coming up to me and saying things, but now usually it's because they recognize me, and they say nice things.
Yet God is so one that He admits of distinction, and so admits of distinction that He still remains unity.
It's really difficult to navigate attention and stardom and celebrity status and still try to maintain yourself and hold onto your intelligence and integrity. It's really challenging.
My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.
At this point in my life, I like the security of a job, while still having time for my young son and to pursue other creative work.
At 88 years old - with every intention of living decades longer - I'm still running a company, writing articles, launching new ventures, and fully enjoying life.
My favorite thing is still journalism. I'm almost 50. This has been my life ever since I was in college.
Nudes are the greatest to paint. Everything you can find in a landscape or a still life or anything else is there: darkness and light, character dimension, texture. I painted heads too, of course.
It's taken me longer still to realize what a short span there is between those life experiences and the rest of your life. That's a job for the people who lived through it.
Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor.
The only thing about my life that's really changed is the fact that a lot of people know me now. I'm still the same person.
I'd love to do theater. I've done so many plays in my life. I still think of that as my main thing.
And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Yet the evil still increased, and, like the parasite of barnacles on a ship, if it did not destroy the structure, it obstructed its fair, comfortable progress in the path of life.
