I Don't Sit Down To Write A Funny STORY. Every SINGLE THING I Sit Down To Write Is MEANT To Be SAD.

I REMEMBER That I Used To Get LOTS Of Books From The Library, And 'Little Women' Was One Of Them. And I Used To Just Cross Out The PARTS Of It That Really Upset Me Because It's Such A SAD Book In So Many Ways. I'd Cross Out The Parts That Upset Me, And I Would REWRITE New Endings.

My DREAM Is To BUILD A Tech Company That Helps People DISCOVER CONTENT.

I REALLY Just Compete Against Myself. I LOOK At My Previous MATERIAL And TRY To Surpass What I've Done.

Eating By Myself In My Own APARTMENT, Single And Alone Again For The FIRST Time In Many Years, I Should Have Felt, But Did Not Feel, SAD. Because I Had Taken The Trouble To MAKE Myself A REAL Dinner, I Felt Nurtured And Cared For, If Only By Myself. Eating Alone Was Freeing, Too; I Didn't Have To Make Conversation.

I Would NEVER Have Become Music Director Of The CHICAGO Symphony, Which Would Have Been An EXTREMELY Sad LOSS.

Over-eating Is The ADDICTION CHOICE Of Carers, And That's Why It's COME To Be REGARDED As The Lowest-ranking Of All The Addictions.

All My WORK Shares A KIND Of BALANCE Between BLACK Comedy And Sad And Despairing MELANCHOLY.

Just Because I'm Talking About Something That MIGHT Have Been A Sad Or Painful SITUATION Doesn't MEAN That I'm Sad Or Tortured 24 Hours A DAY Any More Than Anybody Else Is.
