willing sells has-beens
I'd love to sell out completely. It's just that nobody has been willing to buy.
attitude nice stupid
I've had it with being nice, understanding, fair and hopeful. I feel like being negative all day. The chip on my shoulder could sink the QE2. I've got an attitude problem and nobody better get in my way...I'm in a bad mood and the whole stupid little world is gonna pay!
hipster abortion wish
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.
suicide health fit
I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it's the ultimate hissy fit.
gay hands world
Maybe there is no better novel in the world than Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. Just holding it in my hands, so precious, so beyond gay, so deliciously subversive, is enough to make illiteracy a worse social crime than hunger.
library
Nothing is more impotent than an unread library.
president outsiders united-states
When I was young, no one wanted to be one; now even the President of the United States would call himself an outsider. So now I'm for insiders.
reading pops tricks
Not wanting anyone to pop my bubble by speaking to me, I immediately began reading Lesbian Nuns, and that did the trick. No one attempted small talk.
daughter son police
I'd rather have a daughter in a whorehouse than a son in the police force,' Esther used to rage to anyone who would listen.
taste very-good bad-taste
To understand bad taste one must have very good taste.
way tvs trials
I'm thrilled to have a completely new audience that I can get from Court TV, without it being my own trial. That was the only other way I would have gotten it.
wish watches trouble
I wish something on T.V. would trouble me. Then maybe I would watch it.
style technique
Technique is nothing more than failed style.
pain people break
And I seek people who break rules with happiness — and not bringing pain to themselves.
