caused fact haunted lives
I'm haunted by the fact that I may have caused lives to be lost.
alan baseball characters name tigers
Actually, I didn't know that. I like to name my characters after baseball players. Alan Trammell of the Tigers is one of my favorites.
california level people personal saying
Now on a personal level with things like the California Tax Commission... I really think if people started banding together and saying no to this it could snowball and that could really help.
behind couple disease god months recent shoulder sign thank whether
The terrible, diabolic thing with this disease is that you are always looking behind your shoulder every couple months with the most recent checkup to see whether there is any sign of it, and I thank God to say at this point there is not.
behaviour habit cigarette
Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.
smoking doubt mind
There's no doubt in my mind that Bill Clinton will stop smoking cigars, will never smoke them again, as a result of what he did with that cigar.
brother thinking smoking
I was a militant smoker, and in my case, I think I particularly used smoking because what I felt was a kind of politically correct big brother assault on smoking.
stars rocks rock-n-roll
Meanwhile, politics is about getting a candidate in front of the public as a star, politics as rock'n'roll, politics as a movie.
stars thinking rocks
Bill Klinton was the ultimate rock star as president. I don't think as a result of his presidency we will ever have a rock star as president again. In the same way that we will never get involved in another Vietnam.
writing cutting thinking
Every time I flicked channels, there I was, talking. I was talking too much and writing too little. So Naomi and I went to Hawaii. The phone was cut off and we lost touch. This gave me the chance to have a good think about my life.
prayer exercise thinking
I was very skeptical when he began, and there have been moments where I think he's shown absolute leadership, and I think the jury is out, still out. I haven't made any final decisions on him, but I've been surprised at times. I agree with him about one thing absolutely-George W. Bush said recently that he believed in prayer and exercise. So do I.
stars thinking want
From what I've been able to determine, many of our big stars are addicted to tobacco. They want to smoke in movies for the same reason I smoked as I wrote, which is that they think their performance is going to be better.
stars rocks rock-n-roll
I always wanted to be a rock'n'roll star.
writing way idiot
I just wanted to make sure that what I write is what appears on screen, to not have some idiot change it on its way to the screen.
