My childhood is streets upon streets upon streets upon streets. streets to define you and streets to confine you, with no sign of motorway, freeway or highway.
Childhood Highways Streets
The republican candidates are talking about ways to transition this program and it is a monstrous lie. it is a ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you're paying into a program that's going to be there. anybody that's for the status quo with social security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids, and it's not right.
Crazy Lying Kids
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.
Faith Teaching People
If you and i got on an airplane, you're going to l.a., los angeles, and i'm going to senegal, we get there about the same time. the world is just that small. so a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. it has no room in that world for arrogance.
Airplane Technology Bully
When one speaks of increasing power, machinery, and industry there comes up a picture of a cold, metallic sort of world in which great factories will drive away the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the green fields. and that then we shall have a world composed of metal machines and human machines. with all of that i do not agree. i think that unless we know more about the machines and their use, unless we better understand the mechanical portion of life, we cannot have the time to enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the flowers, and the green fields.
Flower Thinking Green Fields
New york is the thing that seduced me. new york is the thing that formed me. new york is the thing that deformed me. new york is the thing that perverted me. new york is the thing that converted me. and new york is the thing that i love too.

You have got me walking up and down all day under those trees, saying to me over and over again, "solitude, solitude." and you have turned around and thrown the world in my lap. you have told me, "leave all things and follow me," and then you have tied half of new york to my foot like a ball and chain. you have got me kneeling behind that pillar with my mind making a noise like a bank. is that contemplation?

I had very modest expectations when i first moved to new york. i didn't even expect to get a record deal.

There is a problem on the so-called commercial stage in new york. the price of a ticket is exorbitant, and there are no longer original productions possible, apparently, on the commercial stage. they are all plays that were taken from either england or smaller theaters, off-broadway theaters, and so on. the one justification there used to be for the commercial theater was that it originated everything we had, and now it originates nothing. but the powers that be seem perfectly content to have it that way. they don't risk anything anymore, and they simply pick off the cream.
New York Taken Play
I took part in a theatre festival in massachusetts two summers after i graduated from college. then i was in los angeles thinking: "i'm going to go to new york." i'd decided that i would not have a chance of a film career, so i was about to make the move. i bought a plane ticket and found a place to live in new york, packed my bags and of course the universe "told me" that i was not meant to go. suddenly, a week before i was supposed to leave, i had three job offers and one of them was my first movie.
