“I warmed both hands before the fire of life;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

“The reason I’m in this business, I assume all performers are—it’s “Look at me, Ma!” It’s acceptance, you know—”Look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma.” And if your mother watches, you’ll show off till you’re exhausted; but if your mother goes, Ptshew!”
