“Sometimes taking time is actually a shortcut.”

“Man, sometimes it takes you a long time to sound like yourself.”

“Sometimes the space between knowing what to do and actually doing it is a very short walk. Other times it is an impossible expanse.”

“No one knows better than I do how far heaven is, but I also know all the shortcuts. The secret is to die, when you want to, and not when He proposes. Or else to force Him to take you before your time.”

“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey.

At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.”

“When you're on your own, you look for signs. Sometimes you make them up, sometimes they're actually there, but most of the time you can't tell the difference from the two.”

“I don't really have time [to babysit my twin cousins]. And, well, I actually have my own babysitter sometimes.”

“I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.”

“They're taking shortcuts to get a big laugh instead of working for their audience. They can finish a show, hang up their tux and shirt, and put it up for next time. With mine, you have to wring out the sweat and send it to the cleaners. You gotta go out and work for your audience.”

“We humans are, at bottom, carriers of the time, because we take it with us, we use it, sometimes we waste it and sometimes something remains, though everything is doomed to oblivion.”
