If you fall in love with somebody, then you're not even worried about your bills. Love can take your mind off of anything.

Unless you're a true prodigy, you're going to have to practice for a while being bad before you get any good. And it will seem like a waste of time. I remember that feeling well.

I'm a last-minute shopper. I end up at the mall or somewhere on Christmas Eve. It's a shame.

Even in your darkest moments, you'll think of something that'll crack you up.
