"The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'."

-- Frank Zappa

“I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.”
“There is no one just like you, and there never will be anyone just like you, so there's no reason not to be original.”
“I always wonder why birds stay in the same place...”
“The chemistry and the comfort and trust between two people playing a love story l is key, and to have a friend that I could trust, and whose sensibilities I already understood, made it so much easier, and is a big part of why it all looks natural on screen.”
“I don't think I do have a soul.”
“The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that's not equity, it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.”
“Thanks to my solid academic training, today I can write hundreds of words on virtually any topic without possessing a shred of information which is how I got a good job in journalism.”
“If we are generous enough, we can stretch our souls everywhere and everywhen else. If we succeed in doing so, we shall discover that our present embraces the past and the future and that the whole world is our province.”
