"Portions for Foxes"
Song lyrics, More Adventurous (2004)
Context: There's blood in my mouth
Cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talking trash
But I never say anything
And the talking leads to touching
And the touching leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left
“Reality is the leading cause of stress among those in touch with it.”
Lily Tomlin (1939) American actress, comedian, writer, and producer
As "Trudy"

“It now seems that pornography is the leading sex educator in the Western world.”
Martin Amis (1949) Welsh novelist
Playboy interview (2003)
Context: It now seems that pornography is the leading sex educator in the Western world. And the idea of having your sexual nature determined by a medallion-in-the-chest-hair artist out in Los Angeles is really humiliating. I'm not talking about me, but I'm talking about my children's contemporaries, kids aged 18. They're getting their sex tips from some charlatan at Wicked Video.
