On chairs:

It seems like whenever these office people call you in for a meeting, the whole thing is about the sitting down.

“I would really like to sit down with you.”

“I think we need to sit down and talk.”

“Why don’t you come in, and we’ll sit down.”

Well, sometimes the sitting down doesn’t work. People get mad at the sitting.

“You know, we’ve been sitting here for I don’t know how long.”

“How much longer are we just going to sit here?”

I’ll tell you what I think we should do. I think we should all sleep on it. Maybe we’re not getting down low enough. Maybe if we all lie down, then our brains will work.

On divorce:

The whole concept of being separated to me is strange, it’s like you’re engaged to be divorced.

“We’re gonna try making not being together work. First we were separated, then we met, then we were together, now we are gonna try being separated again. We actually think some kind of giant rubber band might be the best solution.”

 ’Course when you were a kid in school you would get separated for having too good of a time:

“If you two kids don’t stop laughing and having fun i’m gonna have to separate you.”

And then the kid finds out his parents are breaking up and he thinks it’s because they got caught fooling around, which is probably true.

On waking up:

One thing I love is when you’re in the middle of a dream, and the alarm goes off. You incorporate the sound of the alarm into the dream, so you can keep sleeping. And you’ll make any adjustment in the dream to do it. I was with Marie Antoinette in a dream last night, and she was on the guillotine, the blade came down, her head fell into the basket, it rolled over and and overwhelming ringing sound came out of her mouth. And, then I thought, “That is not my alarm going off. This is actually happening.”

I need a hobby.
