Larry Grobel senses there are no answers in life, only questions. Good ones.
I can cook to please people, but it's quite conventional. I make a good sponge cake. I find it hard to follow recipes.
I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!
I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.

If you have an image of someone cutting off a relationship, it's the cutting off that will lead to your suffering. If you see the action as their need being expressed, then the message is within them, not you. Any interpretation you put onto another person's message (such as passive-aggressive, withholding, etc. ), you will pay for because of how you took it.
We imagine a school in which students and teachers excitedly and joyfully stretch themselves to their limits in pursuit of projects built on their vision. . . not one that succeeds in making apathetic students satisfying minimal standards.
