"The statement, "The debt problem has become so extreme that we have no choice but to cut social spending" is presented as an objective assessment of our situation.

It seems like being on vacation is like normal living, which is not very satisfying. It means we're figuring out what to make for lunch today, and that seems like such an absurd way to live.

We love what we do, so I prefer being in the studio; that's really living for me.”
“I have come East to find what the public likes.”
