Stories Hold Power Because They Convey The Illusion That Life Has Purpose And Direction. Where God Is Absent From The Lives Of All But The Most Blessed, The Writer, Of All People, Replaces That Ordering Principle.

The Nice Thing About Live Performance Is That I've Never, Ever Been Let Down. Partly I'm Lucky That My Audience Self-selects Itself. Generally They Know What They're In For, And Generally We All Just Like Each Other And Get Along. But I Always Find One Or Two Or A Dozen Really Interesting People In The Audience Who Make The Show Different. And That's One Of The Things I Really Like About Performing.
