POSTER 25. 2. D.M.

As for discipline and rules, I confess, I've never been good with either * As for acting, I took drama lessons when (I was) in high school * As for singing, my parents say I have a good voice, but then again, they have to say that * As for getting married, I don't have strong feelings, really - I can take or leave it * As for relationships, I know nothing. I'm an idiot; I can't get it right * As for what other people think of me, I could worry about that every day, but choose not to * As for when to sell, it depends on whether a person wants to invest or trade * As for what's the most challenging aspect of teaching, it's convincing younger writers of the importance of reading widely and passionately * As to the media, they are protected by the First Amendment, as they should be * I have principles in my professional and personal life as to how things are done * Unquestionably / Undoubtedly / Certainly / Clearly, standup comedy is and has always been an art form * It's funny how I'm good at giving advice to others, but when it comes to helping myself, I don't know what to do * Hollywood is not good when it comes to age * I think all writing is necessarily autobiographical to a greater or lesser extent, and the less it tries to be confessional, the more likely it is that you're somehow sneaking (steal) the things you need to say in there * The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day * (You know), what's funny to one person is not at all to someone else * What’s astonishing / amazing (to me) is (the fact) that / how some people are given such an incredible gift. At seventeen, and with no formal training * Our most fundamental social need, it turns out, to my amazement, is love.

I hate to say this (/about sth), but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.

1. Unfortunately / Unluckily / Sadly / Regrettably / Lamentably, my fun days are over * Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by 99% of mankind / humanity * To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!

2. * I am very instinctive when it comes to a script * I'm dense when it comes to discouragement * I'm a heathen (pagan, agnostic, atheist, impio)  when it comes to marriage * I just am a snob when it comes to humor * I'm kind of stupid when it comes to gadgets * I'm such a robot when it comes to work * We're failing when it comes to controlling spending 

3. What's called a difficult decision is a difficult decision because either way you go there are penalties * What's amazing when you get up and do something is what God does in your life. We just have to get up and do something *
