She had two brothers, William "Bill" Sweeney, and Michael Ivers Sweeney, who died, and a brother Jim Sweeney, and a sister Meg Sweeney, who lives in Japan.

"You had to get out of them occasionally, those Illinois towns with funny names: Paris. Oblong. Normal. Once, when the Dow Jones hit 200 points, the paper's banner headline read: 'Normal Man Marries Oblong Woman.'"

"Letting Go of God."
"I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this."
"To a certain extent I am taking a leap of faith. I'm adding up the evidence on either side, and I'm seeing the evidence of there not being a God is overwhelming compared to the evidence for there being a God."
"Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life, of course that's where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen."
"I think one of the basic tasks in life - one of the nice things we can do for each other - is to take things that are horrible and scary and make them acceptable and less frightening and, if possible, funny. It feels great to succeed at that."
"I like going back and writing fiction."
"It was a fine cancer experience, as cancer experiences go."
"Mostly, I just want to be in my house reading and writing."
"Well, you can't be depressed and sad 24 hours a day."
"It's so weird to have someone tell you you're sick when you feel really healthy and good."
"I was on stage and I was like I will pay someone to do my time, not only will I expect NOT to be paid, but I will pay someone if I can run off stage right now. It was so bad."
"I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it's a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life - then I think it's a great career."
"I have lots of energy."
"I'm not an activist. I'm trying to get off the whole atheist racket."
"I went with agnosticism for a long, long time because I just hated to say I was an atheist - being an atheist seemed so rigid. But the more I became comfortable with the word, and the more I read, it started to stick."
It was our first holiday to share and the best I've ever known These memories come crashing back to chill me to the bone The tree up in the living room those presents wrapped with bows Was our attempt to make that damn apartment our own Do I get your mom and dad a gift this year, it just seems a little weird It brings me down to think of how much things have changed this year I wanna hear you say you miss me but don't want to tell you what to say Just looking for a reason to wake up on Christmas day It seems like you just don't understand Losing faith in holidays that slip right through my hands I'm hoping if you hear this song you know just what I mean Either happy at last or done for good but no more in between I wanna feel the way I did last year when we moved into that place When I finish wrapping gifts, I want my pillow to still hold your face So tell me that what were working towards The best gift that you could give me would be something to look for So tell me that's what were working towards and I'm not your little cheer In hopes that we could get this right by this time next year So tell me that's what were working towards and I'm not your little cheer In hopes that we could get this right by this time next year This time next year
