I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.

I'm a much better writer for being a father.

My father was murdered when I was two. Duane, even though he was only a year and 18 days my elder, he became a father figure to me. I would have done anything for my brother - I loved him so much.

But my dad also was a remarkable man, a good person, a principled individual, a man of integrity.

I don't think my father was a bad man, all in all.

Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands.

But I like to be thought of as a good father and a good husband.

I can't say I had an ideal father, and I'm not a father myself.

I was an absolute maniac, a terrible husband and father.
