"To write without pay until somebody offers..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“A person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was gitting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn't ever going to grow dim or doubtful.”

“We like a man to come right out and say what he thinks- if we agree with him.”

“The difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction must be absolutely believable.”

“The way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent.”

“Writing is a deeper sleep than death. Just as one wouldn't pull a corpse from its grave, I can't be dragged from my desk at night.”

“I used to try to write a song a day. I've been so busy lately.”

“I haven't had a perfect career. I've put some albums out that, looking back, I'm not super proud of, but there's also a lot of stuff that I am very proud of.”

“I had no desire to be a stand-up comic until I decided to do it.”

“Sir Alex has a special place in my life. In fact, he was the main man. I was not famous, I was not a star. I arrived at Old Trafford as just another young talent. He was the one who told me to do all the right things. He gave me the opportunity to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. So he is one of the most important people in the world for me. I worked with Sir Alex for a few years and I know he deserves ­everything that he has achieved in his career. He works so hard, he is clever, he has experience, he is a human guy.”
