If I gain support, the support doesn't seem to mean anything. It's not like anyone really cares about me.

I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere.

I don't drink any coffee or take any drugs and I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't take any medicine at all. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and I stay away from starches.

On dancing on pointe: Why don't they just get taller girls?

It may pass for a maxim in State, that the administration cannot be placed in too few hands, nor the legislature in too many.
