"I guess I just want everything to be available immediately."

-- John Lurie

“I find that people can pass me on the street who've just seen my picture in the paper and they wouldn't recognize me. If they'd seen me on television, the heads turn. They say, "Wait a minute. I don't know who that is, but he's somebody.”
“Don't allow missed opportunities of the past interfere with the opportunities that are right before you.”
“We flashed our feathers when the feathers were fit to be flashed, and now, in drearier days, many stay indoors.”
“I've had people call me from bands that are very popular, and they're like, 'What do we do? We want to do what you do.' It's almost impossible to do what I do, because you would have to start in 1980. You can't just do it.”
“You can park your snark at the gate, Omaha.”
“Novels often have leisurely openings; a TV drama needs an arresting opening.”
“I think that the mere fact that I'm doing it ought to inspire someone. In junior high school the counselor suggested that I focus on wood shop and metal shop.”
“Darkness, thou first great parent of us all, Thou art our great original!”
