No, there's going to be no even tenor with me. The more uneven it is the happier I shall be. And when my time comes to die, I'll be able to die happy, for I will have done and seen and heard and experienced all the joy, pain, thrills â€” every emotion that any human ever had â€” and I'll be especially happy if I am spared a stupid, common death in bed.

Youth -- nothing else worth having in the world...and I had youth, the transitory, the fugitive, now, completely and abundantly. Yet what was I going to do with it? Certainly not squander its gold on the commonplace quest for riches and respectability, and then secretly lament the price that had to be paid for these futile ideals. Let those who wish have their respectability -- I wanted freedom, freedom to indulge in whatever caprice struck my fancy, freedom to search in the farthermost corners of the earth for the beautiful, the joyous and the romantic.

Et une fois de plus je m'avan cÂ° ais le long de ces me"Â mes couloirs, marchant depuis des jours, depuis des mois, depuis des anneÂ es, a'Â Â votre rencontre. And one more time, I advanced along these same hallways, walking for days, for months, for years, to meet you.
I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
