“People like us are unhappy in this world and in the next, I guess if we made it to heaven, we’d have to help make it thunder.”

“They say all marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.”

“If we didn’t face death, we’d all be useless. Makes us more efficient in the use of our time and appreciative of the time we have.”

“My work up to then had been very uneven, I would be good one night, dull the next. Meisner made me aware of how to be consistent in using the best that I have to offer. But I guess nobody can teach you the knack, or whatever it is, that helps you come to life on stage.”

“I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.”

“And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
Time on my hands could be time spent with you,
Laughing like children, living like lovers,
Rolling like thunder under the covers.
And I guess that's why they call it the blues.”

“A guy called up, and in his lead, he said, "We've talked before. I used to be with US but now I'm for SELF." And I was like, "I guess we know everything now, don't we?" … I kind of laughed and I went, "I guess a lot of people are like that." And he paused and went, "Uhhh… what?"”

“There is little consolation in the fact that millions of people are unhappier than we are. Why should other people's misery make us happier or more content?”

I wonder what the next one's like?”

“Soon enough
you can say we made it up
just for fun I guess
to make a mess
cause what’s more fun
than other people’s hell”
