The thing about alcohol, though non-drinkers, non-alcoholics and reformed alcoholics may falsely dispute this, is that each day, or night on booze, is a different journey, the destination being a mystery, but quite possibly the...

Art corrupts. Absolute art corrupts absolutely. Please corrupt me absolutely.

Writers begin with a grain of sand, and then create a beach.

Day zero, the disaster, the serious shock, the near self-destruction.Day two, the suffering, the repentance, the depression, and the promises.Day three, the recovery, the wall, some light, and the joy.Day four, the strength, the resolution,...

Life can be at its cruelest with love and dreams. But of course they keep most of us going.

Writers should cut as close to the vein as possible. The readers don’t want to be covered in your warm sticky blood, but they want to come as close to it as possible.

It’s relatively easy to act nice and normal in front of a crowd, or in public. The tricky part is doing it in private.

Christianity fucked men and women up. Men feel guilty and women have misguided anger. The result, a weak male. Fucking controls on our behaviour. It’s like a sickness. A control sickness.

Why do I prefer cats to dogs? I have never stepped in cat shit.

Most of my girlfriends are sent by the Devil and seem genuinely bemused when I do not succumb to their powers.

Women should not be penalized for being women. Equally, men should not be penalized for being men. I fear that in overly politically correct western Christian democracies, the latter is occurring. It should not be...

Human beings are very skilled at pretending they are not what they are, and ignoring what is inside them. This includes ignoring their natural instincts, their primal instincts, because they have this notion that they...

When considering female human beings, we should ask ourselves what kind of organisms become overjoyed when presented with decapitated plants as gifts? I suppose we should consider ourselves fortunate they do not become overjoyed when...

A true heterosexual never has a problem with gay people, gay people sense he is into pussy and only into pussy. That’s why I can’t abide homophobes, deep down they fear their little secret will...

When you are gambling, though you probably do not know it, your mind is on the tide, the ebb and flow of the Universe, and there is no way to fight it. Going with the...

When I label something as fiction, people say it’s true, and when I label something as non-fiction, people say it is made up. If something is not 100% true, then I label it as fiction....

The problem with working, I mean not self-employed, is that you have to get up and routinely do something that you do not want to do, plus you get talked down to, ordered around by...

Writers start with a grain of sand, and then create a beach.

When you are young your body cannot handle alcohol, and when you get old your mind cannot handle it. Either way, alcohol has its way.

A woman needs a man, more than a man needs a woman. We can thank prostitutes for that.

When it comes to work, I will stop at nothing. When it comes to writing, I will never stop.

We’re closer to passing this bill than we’ve ever been before. She’s going to do everything to stop that from happening.

Most of us spend all our working life dreaming of doing nothing, then when we end up doing nothing, we long for something. When we have neither longing, I think that is what they call...

People spend half of their free time drinking alcohol and the other half watching totally sober people on television. And they want to be those people, live those lives. Ever wondered why we rarely see...

Successful long term relationships are all about power levels. A high power level male will attract and succeed with a high level power female.How do we define those power levels? We can’t, they are inherently...

Writers and other artists are mostly just historians, produced by nature to describe, decipher and thus historically represent the universe.

This just goes to show that she is not a Republican. She does not adhere to conservative principles of governance.

I think people at the national level are looking at Gov. Perry and the state of Texas. He is equally comfortable in front of a national audience or in front of a very small town...

This was the person billed as the Crown’s star witness,

The only way we have been able to do this is because Texas has planned and has drilled for years.

Texas voters will then have every right to expect these individuals to offer real solutions to the challenges that face Texas, like a detailed school finance plan.

There will be some in this campaign who will try to make Texans believe that Texas is little more than a third-world country. But Gov. Perry is proud of this state and her people and...

Today’s action is the type of transparent political opportunism that insults the intelligence of Texas voters and is destined for rejection and failure just as it was the first time she tried it.

The federal government, ultimately, is going to have to come up with some kind of plan on what to do with those folks.

He’s quite proud of his record. Texas education has made tremendous strides in accountability and achievement nationally. Since 1998, Texas has put billions of dollars in education. He will run on that in the fall.

Real leaders offer more than just criticism. The governor and a special commission he appointed last year have been working on a school finance plan that will be unveiled shortly.

Texas agreed to take those. The first logical place is Houston. The second was San Antonio because of the I-10 corridor and the third was Dallas. If it didn’t hit there, we’d look for other...

I think regardless of election returns, Governor Perry will continue to build that relationship and make sure El Paso has a seat at the table in what goes on in Austin.

This is the same song, different verse from the Democrats running for governor. They have immense amounts of criticism but absolutely no plan to address the challenge.

If you’re asking if there had ever been a plan to take a quarter of a million people from Louisiana in a week, no. Was there a plan to handle catastrophic events, absolutely.

Something that is indisputable about Rick Perry is that he campaigns as a conservative Republican, and he governs as a conservative Republican.

FEMA is still busing people toward Texas because we are not at capacity yet. The governor has said we’re getting close to capacity, but that is less about numbers and more about management.

The governor has full faith and confidence that Don Willett is and will continue to be an exemplary Supreme Court justice. He views this as little more than a last-gasp political attack in the waning...

It’s way too premature to talk about debates. She not even on the ballot.

We’re working with local officials to try to get our arms around what is going to be a cost in the billions of dollars to the state. But the governor is confident that Washington is...

If the governor neglected, as a courtesy, to call the mayor, he is sorry.

It is the reason for this country. It is to the nation like the Bible is to the church.

The real and fatal gap at the heart of the prosecution case is that they haven’t been able to lead any evidence at all that could establish that the case containing the bomb started at...

We have been contacted by numerous national political leaders, including many potential Republican presidential candidates, who want to help Gov. Perry win re-election.

I think the primary voters will see right through that. Republican primary voters need to know if trial lawyers have picked a candidate in the Republican primary and who that candidate is.
