"I don't know how I do it, but I've written about everything. I've written about my shoes." — Lewis Grizzard

A little irreverence is always important to being a columnist. I try to do that.

I'd like to know what I could do if I really had the time to spend on writing a book, with no columns or shows to do at the same time.

I was raised to think women had babies, stayed at home, and men worked. By the time I got ready to do it, I thought I had all the answers. Only somebody had changed the questions.

Things are more complex today, and I think humor has changed a a great deal. People are more sensitive today.
