In the beginning, I tried to be a more cosmopolitan writer, but I realized that I was a country boy, and I had to deal with things I knew about and where I came from.

Civility costs nothing, and buys everything.

'Government gets things right' does not encourage sales. 'Government makes another blunder' does encourage sales, so there's a commercial imperative that pushes sensationalism.

My work is still very much light-hearted, positive outlook, laugh at yourself. But it isn't going to be the laugh-a-minute kind of thing that my early work was.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.

It's mysterious what attracts you to a person.

Deceit is the false road to happiness and all the joys we travel through to vice like fairy banquets vanish when we touch them.

I shave without using shaving cream.

Ecstasy can be painful when its intense enough when the kundalini surges enough. The ecstasy is so complete its overwhelming sometimes.

My mother might find a thin gold chain at the back of a drawer, wadded into an impossibly tight knot, and give it to me to untangle. It would have a shiny, sweaty smell, and excite me: Gold chains linked you to the great fairy tales and myths, to Arabia, and India; to the great weight of the world, but lighter than a feather.

My daughter wants to do yoga with me and wants to be in the theater thing, and I can't tell her, 'Don't be an actress.' My son loves guitar and loves to be in a band and wants his iTunes downloaded with all this old-school hip-hop so he understands where hip-hop came from.

I just love the days when you come out of the archives with half a dozen excellent descriptions or poignant accounts of personal experiences.

In training you listen to your body. In competition you tell your body to shut up.

What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

I think about death a lot, like I think we all do. I don't think of suicide as an option, but as fun. It's an interesting idea that you can control how you go. It's this thing that's looming, and you can control it.

Its not up to you how you fall. Its up to you how far you let yourself fall and how long it takes you to get back up and stand on your own two feet

Most people today don't feel that Barack Obama is on our side. We sense he's incapable of doing what Roosevelt did, of loving his country so much that he was willing to run great risks in order to advance its cause, to free others from a new Dark Age - and protect our own liberty in the process.
