"Today and now I hate this words they sound horrible, sound powerful and you just get more older and more older. I just said them when I was 9, now I'm 16 soon I will be 17. And again I use them "now" and "today" you can also say "no" but it's now 18:07 after five blinks with the eyes it just becomes 18:08, I hate today. Everyone uses it, but it's for two different places I also use today, for me is 4.10.2016, but for you this is past, and your today is 4.10.2026..."

"Time is the sole photographer of all the times, from the Big Bang till the possible Big Crunch!"

"It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud."

"Where radio is different than fiction is that even mediocre fiction needs purpose, a driving question."
