I didn't care what people thought of me, that I was getting better, pushing myself to get better. Those are the things I concentrate on. I don't concentrate on what everyone else was saying.

Mostly, I avoid worrying since the time spent doing it could be spent more constructively.

A lot of my time was spent searching, thinking and planning my life.

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

I was never at my best when I was at my worst. When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.

So much time is wasted on trying to be better than others.

Outside of interviews, I spend very little time thinking about myself. I spend time thinking about my writing and my children and other things that are pertinent.

The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.

I tend not to worry about things I can't do anything about. It's not in my nature to spend too much time thinking.

I should have been thinking more about my family, how I raised my children, how I maintained life's work, so to speak.
