[her] mind blackens. The blackness is not a thought, but if it could be pressed into a thought, if a chemical from a dropper could be dripped onto it causing its color and essence to become visible, it would take the shape of this sentence: Why does no one want me?
I don't really manage my time. I really just wait until I'm inspired to do something. And when I'm inspired to do something, it just happens.
It [live performance] is just very difficult. Doing an hour, hour and a half of live standup is an endurance test. You almost have to do it every day to stay up on it.
I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly.
Hello. I'm hello, and I'd like to say myself.
It is the perfect wrong time for Jeremy to do to Mirabelle what she had done to him - call him up for a quick fix - because;, in a sense, she is now betrothed. Her first date with someone who treated her well obligates her to faithfulness, at least until the relationship is explored.

It's horrible for someone to listen to someone learning any instrument - when I was first learning the banjo, I used to have to go out and sit in the car, and even in the summertime I'd have to roll up the windows. Because you just couldn't practice a banjo or a fiddle with other people around. Unless they're being paid.
You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.
