“I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.”

“The thing I don't understand about homosexuals is, how do they decide which one is the one who's supposed to pretend they don't want it?”

“I always wondered why God was supposed to be a father," she whispers. Fathers always want you to measure up to something. Mothers are the ones who love you unconditionally, don't you think?”

“Take most people, they're crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer. I don't even like old cars. I mean they don't even interest me. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.”

This is the one place, the one remnant of racism in our country is in the court system, enforcing the drug laws and enforcing the death penalty. I don’t even know, but I wonder how many of those, how many have been executed? Over 200, I wonder how many were minorities? You know, if you're rich, you usually don't meet the death penalty.”

“I don't want to end up
In a room all alone
Don't want to end up someone
That I don't even know.”

“The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want.”

“Art is not a democracy. People don't get to vote on how it ends.”

“Don't worry. They're all against me. But I have one advantage: they don't know what they want. I do.”
