Things come to you in life when you're prepared for them, when you're ready for them.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular, never-to-be-repeated experience.

I like things that are civilized.

The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives.

Things come to you in life when you're prepared for them, when you're ready for them.

I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.

A lot of people in this country right now are living with multiple generations under one roof, struggling to make ends meet.
