"And perhaps there is none, no morrow anymore, for one who has waited so long for it in vain. And perhaps he has come to that stage of his instant when to live is to wander the last of the living in the depths of an instant without bounds, where the light never changes and the wrecks all look alike.

But at long intervals they close, with the gentle suddenness of flesh that tightens, often without anger, and closes on itself."

For Jesus, who makes precisely what none of us can but all of us want: Christmas."

"You usually have to wait for that which is worth waiting for."

"The type of mixing that was out then was blending from one record to the next or waiting for the record to go off and wait for the jock to put the needle back on."

"So you have to keep waiting and then they give you the script and it's terrible. Then you have to go to the rewrite and they're very upset because you didn't like it. I went through that for seven years."
