work hate i-hate
I hate, simply, to work. I just hate to work, period. I am profoundly slothful. Practically inert.
running sex hate
I happen to love a good run almost as much as sex. Like sex, there are often times I don't think I'm interested until I'm into it. Unlike sex, I do have to get out of bed and into the elements. I hate leaving bed.
hate mean thinking
The theater itself is so archaic and old fashioned, that it doesn't really matter to me whether it's on Avenue D or at the Helen Hayes Theater. What's the difference? It's still a very nostalgic form. Also, it means you're knowingly walking into a room where there's actors. I feel it's very embarrassing. Because, you know, they're right there. You always think like, they can see you, and I think it's mortifying, frankly, and I hate to sit near the front, where you feel they actually might see you. It's too ... it's too live.
hate two boring
I hate money. It is boring and it is arithmetic. The two things I hate the most.
jobs children hate
I used to love to write. As a child I used to write all the time. I loved to write up until the second I got my first professional writing job. It turns out it's not that I hate to write. I hate, simply, to work.
hate book names
I hate academic mysteries. As soon as I come across the word 'don' and it's not someone's first name, I close the book.
new-york hate people
In New York we have zillions of different kinds of people, many of them hate each other, but violence based on that hatred is really uncommon here.
hate writing way
I hate writing. I will do anything to avoid it. The only way I could write less was if I was dead.
hate lazy i-hate
I'm very lazy, I hate to work.
jobs hate i-hate
I hate all jobs. I've never had a job I liked.
apartment order outdoors pass
. . .to me the outdoors is what you have to pass through in order to get from your apartment into a taxicab.
allow children mix
Do not allow children to mix drinks. It is unseemly and they use too much vermouth.
chance figure whether
I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.

Remember that as a teenager you are in the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.
