You know, small children take it as a matter of course that things will change every day and grown-ups understand that things change sooner or later and their job is to keep them from changing as long as possible. It’s only kids in high school who are convinced they’re never going to change. There’s always going to be a pep rally and there’s always going to be a spectator bus, somewhere out there in their future.

The only religions I don't like are the ones that insist their God is bigger than your God.

The muses are ghosts, and sometimes they come uninvited.

I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that; it's like a license to steal.

Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes.
