amazing people quickly
Once you have a kid, it's amazing how quickly people ask, 'So are you going to stop at just one?'
age asked drawn material people utterly wanna
People have always asked me why I'm drawn to material about kids, and for me, it's - I remember being at that age and feeling completely and utterly powerless. You know, there's so many things you wanna do and so many things you're told you can't do.
order people tvs
I should be a success and I'm not and other people- younger people- are. Younger people than me are on TV and getting their lives in order. I'm still a nobody. When am I going to not be a nobody?
anchors people
People don't make good Anchors, though, Craig. They change.
life perfect people
People are screwed up in this world. I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.
people needs feels
I don't owe people anything, and I don't have to talk to them any more than I feel I need to.
mean compliments-you people
See, when you mess something up, you learn for the next time. It's when people compliment you that you're in trouble. That means they expect you to keep it up.
people world sanctuary
I have a system with bathrooms. I spend a lot of time in them. They are sanctuaries, public places of peace spaced throughout the world for people like me.
people long pay
I wasn't going to have enough money to pay for a Good Lifestyle, which meant I'd feel ashamed, which meant I'd get depressed, and that was the big one because I knew what that did to me: it made it so I wouldn't get out of bed, which led to the ultimate thing—homelessness. If you can't get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away.

animal people want
I eat not because I want to, not because I have to overcome anything, not to prove myself to anyone, but because it's there. I eat because that's what people do. And somehow when the food is put in front of you by an institution, when there's a large gray force behind it and you don't have to thank anyone for it, you have the animal instinct to make it disappear,
school people able
I know a lot of famous people didn't do well at school, like James Brown; he dropped out in fifth grade to be an entertainer, I respect that... but that's not going to be me. I'm not going to be able to do anything but work as hard as possible all the time and compete with everyone I know all the time to make it.
people lucky
But some people have to get lucky just to live. And I never knew I could make anybody lucky.
teenager two people
Relationships change even more than people. It's like two people changing. It's exponentially more volatile. Especially two teenagers.
