I hate to say this, but I'm one of those people with an extremely fast metabolism. I eat, eat, eat, and yet I can't seem to gain any weight.
The heroes of our youth grow old - 'the boys of summer in their ruin', in Dylan Thomas's verse - yet we seem the same.
Art – the one achievement of man which has made the long trip up from all fours seem well advised
It seems to limit you; when you're working in an office, you're a creature in a small cell under somebody's supervision and surveillance.
If Broadway no longer seems behind the times or ahead of the times, it may be because there are no 'times' anymore, no prevailing Zeitgeist that sets the fashion, pace, and prevailing look.
You know, there are many alter egos and Gorillaz is a collective of alter egos, really. I think anyone who gets involved in it has to sort of accept that nothing is really as it seems.

I'm a lot luckier than most people, although I used to look at it the other way around-that so many people seemed luckier than me.
My sons are a hell of a lot easier to get through to than my daughter is. She seems to have my number. She can just run through the buttons.
When people talk of the economy being strong, they don't seem to feel that they, too, are better off.
All successful people these days seem to be neurotic. Perhaps we should stop being sorry for them and start being sorry for me - for being so confounded normal.
Seems like everything people oughta know they just don't want to hear. I guess that's the big trouble with the world.
Historically, unfortunately, race seems to be the major division that humanity has imposed on itself, a way of subdividing into smaller groups.
