[Kids today] think "Grease" is just one long music video. So they watch it over and over again the way we, when we were kids, we listened to albums.

I wouldn't believe there was something 'wrong' with my son.

I love working in the theater.

When anything is wrong with your child, your first instinct is to make it better.

One becomes sated with platitudes no less than honey, so that one often breaks another's bones in one's vexation.
