“You know, I’m really starting to think the whole world is just a patchwork quilt of crazy little cults, all with their own secret spaces, their own records, their own rules.”

“She was tempted to take the elevator instead of the stairs just this once. But that was how it started. Take the elevator tonight because she was tired and her feet hurt from having been trapped in three-inch stilettos all day, and then tomorrow she'd want to take it because she was running late.

“Ciò che mi infastidisce di più nelle canzoni che sento alla radio è che “non somigliano” affatto alla vita vissuta. Il mondo, come è descritto nelle canzoni, non esiste. La gente non ama come nelle canzoni, non soffre come nelle canzoni, e non dice le cose che si dicono nelle canzoni. È come se fosse stato creato un mondo fasullo, parallelo a quello vero, per potercisi nascondere quando la vita così com’è non ci soddisfa.”
