In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled.

I cherish all of the times I’ve fallen on my face and made mistakes, because those experiences have made me who I am.

You’ve got to be harsh on yourself because it is the only way you are going to get better by studying those situations where you may have fallen short.
In my bachelor days, I had a small upright piano in my kitchen. It cost £10 from eBay plus £70 delivery. It was because I’d seen an old photo of Tom Waits – with dirty dishes, empty bottles, a hot plate, a coffee machine and a piano strewn with lyric sheets – and fallen in love with it.

We lost a baby at 11 weeks when I was 34, and we got married expecting we would have no trouble having another child, because I’d fallen pregnant that one time. But it just didn’t happen and we did about four years of IVF, trying very hard to have a baby.

It’s strange because we think of the upper middle class, for example, as being secular, that they’ve fallen away from religion. Well, it turns out that the upper middle class goes to church more often and feels a much stronger affiliation with their religion than the white working class.

Rereading one’s own novels after many years is always a fraught business, but when a novel has fallen out of print – ‘The Very Model of a Man’ is the only novel of mine that has – and so crops up infrequently in conversations with readers or indeed with oneself, revisiting it can be perilous.
My guilty pleasure is vanilla cupcakes! I love cupcakes! I love cupcakes. When it’s really bad, it’s 12 per day. I’ve fallen asleep with cupcake in my mouth, like, frosting all over my mouth. More than – several times.
America used to be proud of abstraction, and we have fallen away from it. The future depends on people trying to promote that abstract thinking. Not just in relation to music and jazz and the arts, but the economy, social strife, tension between people.
It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you’ve fallen in love with.
As international support for Obama’s decision to attack Syria has collapsed, along with the credibility of government claims, the administration has fallen back on a standard pretext for war crimes when all else fails: the credibility of the threats of the self-designated policeman of the world.
I mean, republics have fallen because of Praetorian Guard mentality where government officials get very arrogant, they identify the national interest with their own political preferences and they feel that anyone who has a different opinion, you know, is somehow an enemy of the state.
