"my Obit Is Going To

If There Was A Pause In A Conversation With Anyone, You Could Always Light A Cigarette, Or If A Man Lit A Cigarette For You, You Could Look Up. It's The Most Dramatic Thing In The World Because It's Intimate, It's Suggestive, And That's One Of The Problems With Giving It Up, Is That It's A Very Useful Tool.

The Times In Which We're Currently Living Unfortunately, Our Great Leader [george W. Bush] Is Such A Disaster And The Entire Country Is In Disastrous Shape Because Of Him. It's Very Frightening, Actually, To Think That This Country Has Become What It's Become And That So Many People Voted For A Man Like That. It's Terrifying.

I Think I'm Damn Lucky. I'm Lucky That My Kids Are All Straight, That They Haven't Ended Up In Jail, That They're All Worthwhile Human Beings, Thank God. Their Lives Are Happy; They Have Happy Partners, Wives, Husbands.

I Would Hate Now To Be Married. It Does Occur To Me On Occasion That, If I Fall And Hit My Head, There Will Be No One To Make The Phone Call. But Who Wants To Think About That Disaster, I'd Prefer Not To.

I’m Not Ashamed Of What I Am - Of How I Pass Through This Life. What I Am Has Given Me The Strength To Do It. At My Lowest Ebb I Have Never Contemplated Suicide. I Value What Is Here Too Much. I Have A Contribution To Make. I Am Not Just Take Up Space In This Life. I Can Add Something To The Lives I Touch. I Don’t Like Everything I Know About Myself, And I’ll Never Be Satisfied, But Nobody’s Perfect. I’m Not Sure Where The Next Years Will Take Me - What They Will Hold - But I’m Open To Suggestions.
