Front door Quote by Thomas F. Clardy
““There’s that line in that show Designing Women when Julia Sugarbaker says something like, 'We here in the South don’t hide our crazy relatives up in the attic; we bring them downstairs and show them off.' My stories are about what then happens when they run out the front door, jump off the front porch and run down the street naked. You might lock the front door to prevent it but it’s going to happen sooner or later. Life is always going to have those crazy moments, so I’ll always have something to write about. ””
