My Folks Were Farm People From Nebraska,

Smoking Helped Put Me In Touch With The Realm Of The Senses.

I Was A Very Idealistic, Very Romantic Kid In A Very Typically Midwestern Methodist Repressed Home. There Was No Show Of Affection Of Any Kind, And I Escaped To Dreams And Fantasies Produced, By And Large, By The Music And The Movies Of The '30s.

I Have Been Married Twice, And Those Were Not The Happiest Times Of My Life. Part Of The Problem, Quite Frankly, Is That When You Get Married, The Romance Disappears And The Children Arrive And The Love Is Transferred. It Shouldn't Be That Way, But Too Often It Is Transferred To The Children.

If You Let Society And Your Peers Define Who You Are, You're The Less For It.

Life Is Too Short To Be Living Somebody Else's Dream.
