Zitate und Sprüche von Richard Lewis

I quit therapy because my analyst was trying to help me behind my back.

I tried phone sex - it gave me an ear infection.

I like to read biographies of authors that I love, like Richard Yates. I also like to see what non-fiction authors are out there. My bible is Something Happened. It's one of the greatest books I've ever read. But if I don't read a Dostoevsky soon I'm going to kill myself.

For 45 years I've worked without an audience.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

My parents were my worst audience.

Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.

I have very short hair. It's the only cute haircut I think I've ever had.

I believe that life is hard. That we all are going to walk through things that are hard and challenging, and yet advertising wants us to believe that it's all easy.

The biggest lesson I've learned from my children is to look in the mirror at myself, not at them. I've realized that everything I've done has had an impact on them. We have to understand that they are like little paparazzi. They take our picture when we don't want them to and then they show it to us in their behavior.

I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
