“I usually start with the words. The rhythm of the words gives me the rhythm of the song, and then I look for the musical highlights in it to carry it.”
“I - and I bet all the panelists here - truly believe that movies really can change the world.”
“Paloma you cry out, you beg for connection The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction”
“I have the show because I'm insecure. It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.”
“To save my son, I would plot with the devil himself.”
“And some sad news ... the first lesbian couple to legally get married in the state of Massachusetts has split up. They cited irreconcilable similarities.”
“I have butterflies in my stomach.”
“However well equipped our language, it can never be forearmed against all possible cases that may arise and call for description: fact is richer than diction.”
