I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.

I remember my mom dressed like Janis Joplin.

In the 1950s, as food rationing ended, I remember a plentiful supply of sweets for the first time.

Remember the candy stripers? Well, we don't call them that anymore. They're junior volunteers.

We have this habit of romanticizing the lives of writers. I remember when I was a kid, I was like, 'I want to be Kurt Vonnegut.'

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
