“One often forgets that even if art is a very successful field in contemporary culture, there are still a lot of people alienated by it.

“A peril of the night road is that flecks of dust and streaks of bug blood on the windshield look to me like old admirals in uniform, or crippled apple women, or the front edge of barges, and I whirl out of their way, thus going into ditches and fields and up on front lawns, endangering the life of authentic admirals and apple women who may be out on the roads for a breath of air before retiring.” WayLooksMayNightAirBloodFrontsFieldsBreathsEdgesDrivingDustApplesRetiringUniformsBugsPerilLawnsStreaksCrippledAdmiralBarges Book:The Thurber letters: the wit, wisdom, and surprising life of James Thurber Source: The Thurber letters: the wit, wisdom, and surprising life of James Thurber
“When I'm acting, I have zero control, and it's the scariest thing anyone can do in that field because, you know, your face is always the one that's out there in front of the camera, and any number of things can happen to you once you've done your work.

“It's critical to level the playing field, to make prices and risks clear up front, so when someone signs on for a student loan or a mortgage or a credit card, they know the tricks and traps hidden in the fine print.
