• When Christian pushes into the brick wall of the building catty-corner to the rear of BB&B—first left on the Dark Zone side—and disappears, I melt down in a fit of the giggles. I toss a rock at the spot where he vanished. It bounces off the brick and clatters to the cobblestone. I'm feeling twenty shades of Harry Potter's train station, especially when he pokes his head out of the wall and says impatiently, "Come on, lass. This is hardly my favorite place to be.

• ¿Has visto alguna vez cómo las nubes adoran una montaña? Dan vueltas a su alrededor; a veces ni siquiera puedes ver la montaña por las nubes. Pero, ¿sabes qué? ... Las nubes nunca cubren la cabeza.

• You know the theory of cell irritability? If you take an amoeba cell and poke it a thousand times, it will change and then re-form into its original shape. And then, the thousandth time you poke this amoeba, the cell will completely collapse and become nothing. That's kind of what it's like being famous. People say hi, how are you doing, and after the thousandth time, you just get angry; you really pop.

• En esta época de maravillas inventivas, todos los hombres han llegado a creer que en el cerebro de algún genio duerme la solución del gran problema de la navegación aérea, y junto con esa creencia está la esperanza de que ese genio revele su milagro antes de morir, y también el temor de que se vaya a algún sitio y muera él mismo antes de descubrir que tiene esa maravilla latente en su cerebro. Todos sabemos que se puede navegar por el aire; por tanto, apresuren sus velas y vejigas, satisfágannos, déjennos en paz.

• But it's clear to me that us slow-poke writers are a dying breed. It's amazing how thoroughly my young writing students have internalized the new machine rhythm, the rush many of my young writers are in to publish. The majority don't want to sit on a book for four, five years. The majority don't want to listen to the silence inside and outside for their artistic imprimatur. The majority want to publish fast, publish now.

• It really is great. Especially having people who we make fun every week come on and poke fun at themselves is really cool, I love that. No reality star has been mad at me yet for making fun of them. I'm sure that one day soon though, someone is going to take a swing at me.

• Me alegro porque, como cómico, vivo al margen de una sociedad extrema. Qué mejor que satirizar esta locura. La gente está al límite, desesperada y asustada. Los que no lo están son desalmados o viven en la negación extrema, encerrados en un reino mágico de su propia creación. Como cómico, puedo pinchar en las burbujas de la gente. Por supuesto que estoy contento. Puedo ser el portavoz de su rabia y su miedo. Es muy divertido.

• President Reagan was a master communicator. In this particular speech he did a brilliant job moving between the stately role of U.S. President and a national eulogist. The pain of the event was etched on his face. In 4 short minutes, he addressed five different audiences. He spoke to the collective mourners, families of the fallen, NASA employees, school children, and even took a poke at Russia. He communicated comfort and patriotism within a very short timeframe. That's not easy to do.

• I suppose authoritarians don't like being made fun of because authoritarian rulers have a very inflated sense of themselves and don't like being deflated, which makes it all the more important to continue to deflate them. These are very courageous people around the world who poke fun from inside these societies. So, we now have to broaden the definition of what we mean by "writer" to include bloggers, cartoonists, song writers, visual artists - all these people are, in different ways, quite brave.
