I lost my second marriage because of drinking, and I loved the woman very much. But I thought I needed booze to write. I'm glad I was disabused.

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.

My aunts told wonderful stories. Not to me, but to each other. We had a very strong family. My mother's sisters loved each other intensely. The uncles loved each other intensely.

I mostly drink clear booze because the rest of it looks it's already been through a gentleman.

A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.

I wanted very much to be Miles Davis when I was a boy, but without the practice. It just looked like an endless road.
