I haven't stopped and I don't plan on stoppin' any time soon.
The jazz boom was goin' on then so there was a lot happenin' in New York at that time.
There's a lot of terrible things goin' on all the time, but you gotta try and have some fun in the end.
You can't keep your mind on fighting when you're thinking about a woman. You can't keep your concentration. You feel like sleeping all the time.
All of us, in a sense, struggle continuously all the time, because we never get what we want. The important thing which I've really learned is how do you not give up, because you never succeed in the first attempt.
I'm getting better, happier, and nicer as I grow older, so I would be terrific in a couple of hundred years time.
The biggest influence on my books was the fact that I had worked in a newspaper for so long. In a daily paper, you learn to write very quickly; there is no time to sit and brood about what you are going to say.
I was just lucky I lived in this time of mass-market paperbacks.
When I was younger, I avoided exercise or anything strenuous. I didn't even enjoy walking. As I got older, I spent so much time marking books or sitting at a desk writing that there was no room for exercise - not that I would have bothered anyway.
I struggled to kick the habit - I would make a decision to give up smoking, but it was hard. I couldn't resist the urge to steal a smoke. It was at that time that I was gifted Allen Carr's book 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.' After I read that book, ...

Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that's so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.
There is so little time for us all; I need to be able to say what I want quickly and to as many people as possible.

A lot of very popular mainstream artists are products of record companies and marketing companies, and any time anyone can stand outside of that, that's interesting.
I find it hard to get enthusiastic about hotels because, as a touring comic, I spend a lot of time in them.
And much as I enjoy writing and creating stuff, I don't enjoy it so much that I am willing to give up any time that could otherwise be spent performing.
I have a hard time with interviews, because I'd rather hear about the interviewer.
I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance. If I'm checking it all day I start to feel cuckoo-bird. So I just do it once or twice a day ins...
I'd like to create a lovable character for schizophrenia; it doesn't have a celebrity spokesperson because by the time somebody's schizophrenic they've lost all their teeth.
