“My time's too short to waste on
Things you say without your brain.
Will you paint works of art
When you speak?
When you open your mouth
Will I weep?”

“You see things less clearly when you open your eyes too wide.”

“Listen, my body is attracted to your body but when you speak it makes my brain angry.”

“We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.”

“There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.”

“Where is the weapon with which I enforce your bondage? You give it to me every time you open your mouth.”

“It is important that you say what you mean to say. Time is too short. You must speak the words that matter.”

“When a person should be spoken with, and you don't speak with them, you lose them. When a person shouldn't be spoken with and you speak to them, you waste your breath. The wise do not lose people, nor do they waste their breath.”

“I think it's possible to be too quick-witted, too smart to be an actor. You have to turn off a lot of your brain, in a way. When you see a fellow actor just missing it, it's hard to keep your mouth shut, but you have to. Or see a director so stupid he couldn't direct vomit into a paper bag. And he's in charge, and it's really hard to keep your mouth shut.”

“When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.”
