“I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine”
Juliana Hatfield (1967) American guitarist/singer-songwriter and author
Sunshine
In Exile Deo (2004)
Context: I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I have never been ecstatic
Had a flower but it never bloomed
In the darkness of my wasted youth
It was hiding in the shadows
Learning to become invisible
Uncover me

“And then I'm weak. As much as I want to make the audience laugh, I really want to make Jon laugh.”
Stephen Colbert (1964) American political satirist, writer, comedian, television host, and actor
Entertainment Weekly interview http://www.jerriblank.com/colbert_ew.html, August 13, 2004, on his character break during the infamous Prince Charles sketch on The Daily Show. <br class="br">Context: Such a proud moment of professionalism. You work for years crafting cogent satirical essays and the thing that everybody remembers is me making love to a Chiquita and bursting into laughter. What you can't see off camera is Jon started laughing first. And then I'm weak. As much as I want to make the audience laugh, I really want to make Jon laugh.
