I probably weighted 200 pounds and decided it was time for a life change.

I'm always excited about the new year. Every time I make it to another birthday it's a good deal.

Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not.

I have known Jerry a long time and I think this was a serious change in his life, ... Never before has he said that he recognized us as a class -- as a protected class -- like other Americans. Now he has included us as gay and straight, right in there with black and white, man and woman, rich and poor, young and old and everybody else. That's important.

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

That’s a funny thing: you think, when awful things happen, everything else just stops, like you would forget to pee and eat and get thirsty, but it’s not really true. It’s like you and your body are two separate things, like your body is betraying you, chugging on, idiotic and animal, craving water and sandwiches and bathroom breaks while your world falls apart.
