• Some virtues, when they become fashions, also become exaggerated.

• Why did Americans smile so often? Was it out of politeness or because of a gay disposition? Whatever it was, I for one had never been spoiled with smiles. I found it very pleasant! ...

I wasn't spoiled, but I wasn't going to have some producer come in and tell me what to play.
