I don't begin a novel with a shopping list - the novel becomes my shopping list as I write it.
I did 30 Minute Meals for five years on local television, and I earned nothing the first two years. Then I earned $50 a segment.

And somebody in the family unsacks the groceries and wants to know why you got this and didn't get that and just where is the whatever? And you want to say, 'Well, just be glad I came back, okay?' And the unpacker says, 'Well, next time bring what's on the list.'

I try to be semi-healthy, but I've got into a really bad routine of never food shopping. My fridge is always bare!
The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury.
