There is such a thing as tempting the gods. Talking too much, too soon and with too much self-satisfaction has always seemed to me a sure way to court disaster. The forces of retribution are always listening. They never sleep.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es gibt so etwas wie die Versuchung der Götter. Zu viel, zu früh und mit zu viel Selbstzufriedenheit zu sprechen, schien mir immer ein sicherer Weg, um eine Katastrophe vor Gericht zu bringen. Die Kräfte der Vergeltung hören immer zu. Sie schlafen nie.

I've always had a problem with conventional punctuation of dialogue because it does seem to me to set it off too much from the narrative. I mean, in life, things don't stop while somebody says something, and then stuff starts up again; it's all happening at once.

I know that some people shy away from what I say. They think it is too blunt, but when you don't give people that, they feel like you are being fake and you're not telling the truth. So it's like, you want me to tell the truth, but when I do, it's too much for you.

Tracy Chapman

I was very chatty and talkative and always getting sent out of class for talking too much and not paying attention, passing notes.

I sleep till one, and I'm always surprised when someone in blue rinse on a talk show says, 'You're a genius, Mr. Newley, you do so many things.' Tony Newley never realized his potential, did the things he should have done.

Lou Reed is something like a personal favorite of mine, but you could always put me into that drawer of singers who can't really sing, who speak their songs.

Stephen Malkmus

I've seen people that get onstage and sing while they have tears running down their face - I can't do that. When I cry, it starts like in my throat, so when I have something that's really emotional, sometimes if I access that too much, I can't finish the song.
