When asked, How do you write? I invariably answer, one word at a time.

I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.

Sherilyn Fenn

Tryon Edwards

An empty mind is easy to feed.

Stephen Richards

Gilda Radner

Carnie Wilson

No, thou villain, thou art full of piety

William Shakespeare

Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.

Oscar Wilde
