Whats my favourite book? It changes all the time.
I don't know who Keyser Soze is, but whoever he is, he is going to get gloriously drunk tonight.
[Washington, DC] feels like you're watching performance art. A lot of the time. I don't believe them, I don't believe what they say, I don't think they're being absolutely sincere. I think it's performance art. And most of them are bad actors.
If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart; if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!
