Gerry Mulligan quote: "Eliminating the piano means that I've always worked closer..."

I was angry but not at God. I feel that you are closer to God when you are messed up. Definitely. That's when you most need God, and God cannot control what man does. Samantha Morton
I usually look at things like that from an audience perspective first, then have a closer look at the specific character they're talking about me for. Colm Meaney
You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'Somebody died when they were 73; good life'. You're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. No point in saying things you don't believe in. Ian Mckellen
