"This is my main shortcoming: I was so determined not to lose time that I often did the wrong thing. Not losing time has been my permanent concern since I was three years old, when it dawned on me that time is the warp of life, its very fabric, something that you cannot buy, trade, steal, falsify, or obtain by begging."

-- Nina Berberova

“We've been together since we've been teenagers. I can go away and disappear for two years, and when we get back together, it's like nothing ever has changed.”
“I just get excited doing shows. Off stage I am actually very feeble and must be spoon-fed because my hands are too brittle.”
“If you've made a mistake, if you've made a blunder, admit it to yourself, and then go to the people affected by it and admit it to them, and tell them you're sorry. Full-heartedly and openly.
