I describe my plots as follows; A character is walking down the street when all of a sudden a piano falls on them. They spend the rest of the story digging out from under that piano. How they dig, how long and how well, this all depends entirely on the character.

Boy, I'll tell you, when the Rams drafted me No. 1, it surprised me. I was walking on air for days.

All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side.

To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.

I was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.

I go off into Dublin and two days later I'm spotted walking by the Liffey with a whole bunch of new friends.

I get bored with establishing shots of people getting out of cars and walking into buildings, getting into elevators and then 45 seconds later they have a line.

Resting on your laurels is as dangerous as resting when you are walking in the snow. You doze off and die in your sleep.

My first day in Chicago, September 4, 1983. I set foot in this city, and just walking down the street, it was like roots, like the motherland. I knew I belonged here.

I remember lying down for a nap one day at about 4:00 and walking up at 11:00 the next morning.

I'll find places to grab as I walk and talk, sometimes even walking backwards because I have more control that way. People have no idea that I'm doing this.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.
