The notion that work is a burden is a terrible mistake. Working and facing up to one's responsibilities: That's happiness.

I am a total me, me, Me person.

I'm what is known as gradually disintegrating. I don't fear the next world, or anything. I don't fear hell, and I don't look forward to heaven.

I won't go to a restaurant to eat with friends, always join them afterwards for coffee. In company I always get over enthusiastic, and this leads to indigestion.

I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.

I think everyone is an opportunist if they have an opportunity.
