If I could only turn the etch-a-sketch of my life upside down.

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.

Going on Letterman is like going off the high dive. It's exhilarating, but after a while it wasn't the kind of thrill I enjoyed.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk, I would just be depressed all the time.
