When I was really young, I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it.

I don't have kids, a mortgage, or a car. That has let me hold out for the jobs I want to do, and to sit in a cold room in the winter with fingerless gloves, writing.

I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.

You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.

I lie to myself every day when I tell myself, 'I can skip yoga.'

I'm always running my mouth off and getting myself in trouble, so I'm trying to do it less.

I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.

When you want the belt, you have to work for it.

Don't lie if you don't have to.

I refuse to lie to children.
