They’re wonderful people who seem to like me!
That they’re my friends. I trust them and they trust me.
I think I value the same things everyone does—loyalty, a sense of humor, the ability to make campaign contributions.
They can take the piss out of me and it still feels like wisdom and loyalty.
Procrastination.
Passive aggression.
Something happening to one of my children.
A perfect flight to a perfect landing … with witnesses.
Julie Taymor, Whoopi Goldberg, Keith Richards, Pelé, Michael Cunningham, Elmore Leonard
