Mitch HedbergMy father stood behind a bar in the back of the room all those years, so one day I could stand behind a podium in the front of a room.

Marco RubioI was actually dumbfounded by how some artists talked to each other. For example, it was a normal night at a bar, nothing very momentous, when in walked a painter.
