My father was a diplomat for part of his life and I jumped from country to country and culture to culture.

I wanted to be a pharmacist. I liked the way our local pharmacist was always dressed in a nice white coat; he looked very calm, you'd give him money, and he'd give you something that you wanted to buy.

My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.

I always had one ear offstage, listening for the call from the bookie.
