People are innocent till proven otherwise. All people are.
Orson Welles, who said to Anita Bryant, Stop picketing me. What I said was I was a thespian. Never got a dinner!
When people ask me if Dean Martin drank, let me put it this way. If Dracula bit Dean in the neck, he'd get a Bloody Mary.
Alexander the Great, who said on his wedding night, It's only a nickname. Never got a dinner!
Sure, I've gotten old. I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. . . I've fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, and take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I have bouts with dementia, poor circulation, hardly feel my hands or feet anymore, can't remember if I'm 85 or 92, but. . . thank God, I still have my Florida driver's license!
King Solomon, who said to his thousand wives, Who doesn't have a headache tonight? Never got a dinner!
Jack the Ripper's mother, who said to Jack, How come I never see you with the same girl twice? Never got a dinner!
Something inside me shuts down and I'm too numb to feel anything. It's like watching complete strangers in another Hunger Games. But I do notice they omit the part where I covered her in flowers. Right. Because even that smacks of rebellion.
Not how the world is, but that it is, is the mystery.
The politicians in this world. . . have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.
I never thought I was gonna live in LA. I thought I was gonna live in New York forever.
