Eccentricities

Standing on stage with Sara, she’ll talk about drug use; she’ll be like ‘one time we were on acid’ and I’m like ‘I don’t want to talk about that, I don’t think that’s appropriate.’ I just look horrified and shrink into the darkness at the back of the stage and remember that we are up there clean and sober, and putting on this performance. It’s not like we are on acid then, we don’t do acid now. People change and it is ok to be nostalgic about a time, or to tell a story and also represent the future and say, ‘hey you can get out of control, and be teenager and be stupid, but try to make your life into something valuable,’ you know?

“You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.”
