Roommate Quotes - Page 3

• I don't actually have cable. I watch TV, but only shows that I buy on DVD. As a result my TV rage factor is pretty low right now. I do have a real distaste for those extreme makeover shows. I once caught a roommate watching one and proceeded to rant for almost 15 solid minutes about how, in watching that bullshit, she was actively contributing to the destruction of all civilization.

• Fui compañero de piso de dos de los tipos que influyeron en la formación de la filosofía Black Arts. Les llamé "matones", y [Amiri] Baraka se ofendió por ello. Pero si lees su autobiografía, la noche que fuimos allí para recaudar fondos, habla de cómo deseaba que nos ocurriera algo violento. ¿Qué le parece Baraka como amable anfitrión?

• One of the things that adds tension to our lives is small frustrations. Losing car keys can give you a panic attack. Not being able to find a comb when you get out of the shower, losing scissors and nail clippers, can make you fight with your roommate. The problem is that we think that these things are not supposed to happen to us. And that's what makes us tense. We think we can avoid these frustrations by making ourselves and others be more careful. I like to take the opposite tack-to assume that these things are a part of life and that they will happen no matter what.

• El otro día estaba haciendo tortitas y una mosca entró volando en la cocina. Y entonces me di cuenta de que una espátula se parece mucho a un matamoscas. Y una mosca aplastada se parece mucho a un arándano. Y un compañero de piso se parece mucho a un come moscas.

• Produje una obra en New York que fue nominada al premio Outer Critics Circle a la mejor obra estadounidense, Stalking The Bogeyman. Fue un reportaje en This American Life, y mi antiguo compañero de piso es el director artístico del New York Repertory Theater. Oyó el programa de la NPR, se puso en contacto con ellos y, en esencia -la sinopsis más breve, como si yo fuera el botón de la guía de Cablevisión-, es la historia real de un hombre que acecha y conspira para matar al hombre que le violó cuando tenía siete años. Es de un brillante reportero llamado David Holthouse.

• No estoy seguro de clasificar ningún tema como prohibido, pero no busco nuevos territorios para ofender. Ahí está mi chiste sobre cuando mi compañera de piso superó el cáncer. La gente habla de los supervivientes de cáncer como si fueran guerreros, pero desde donde yo estaba sentada, ella sólo estaba viendo la televisión y comiendo sopa. ¿Se fue a la guerra? No. Se quedó sentada.

• Somos hablantes muy agresivos. Recuerdo cuando estaba con una de mis compañeras de piso en New York -y ella también es portuguesa- y estábamos en una tienda de Apple hablando de un ordenador en portugués. Un tipo se nos acercó y nos dijo: "¡Eh, eh! ¡Paz, paz! Dejad de discutir". No es discutir. Así es como hablamos.

• Honestly, I’d prefer to live with gay guys. They’re the cleanest, and they just take care of stuff. Because I’m always away, coming home to a clean house means a lot to me. Trust me, I’ve lived with a lot of roommates, and straight guys are just kids who don’t pick up after themselves.

• Y luego estaban los alhelíes que habían reconocido durante años que la cosa no tenía remedio, que habían encontrado en esa información una especie de calma. Ya no intentaban, con un esfuerzo brillante y desesperado, mantener una conversación con el hermano de alguien, el acomodador de alguien, el compañero de piso de alguien, el hermano del acomodador del compañero de piso de alguien... La categoría de alhelí que había renunciado a todo esto era muy tranquila, no indiferente, sólo tranquila. Y siempre traía un libro.

• Seth [Rogen] had written a script with this guy, Evan [Goldberg], who none of us knew, and he was prepared to move to L.A. to try to get a script made. It had no title. I actually gave them the suggestion of naming it Superbad, which they did. I just thought it was a weird, interesting name for it. Evan came to L.A. to live with Seth, to be his roommate. It was kind of like, "Who's the new guy?" Within days, we all loved Evan. Long story short, both of them were groomsmen at my wedding.

• Siempre he pensado que la comedia y la tragedia son compañeras de habitación. Si buscas comedia y tragedia, encontrarás una imagen muy antigua de dos máscaras. Una máscara es la tragedia. Parece que está llorando. La otra máscara es la comedia. Parece que se ríe. Hoy diríamos: "Qué insípido e insensible". Una máscara de comedia se ríe de una máscara de tragedia.

• G-Dragonhe is very romantic. I’m his roommate so I see everything. He’s seriously romantic. If he dates someone he makes a song for them. One time he asked me how the song was. And I said oh my god if this was released in Korea there’d be a huge deal and it would make so much money. But… since it’s for the woman he loves it’s only for her and gives up that money/fame from that song.

• You marry your friends when you stay with your friends. It's hard enough to find a good roommate, let alone a good person you can live with and fall in love with at the same time. You might as well just take your roommate, if you can find one, and marry them. I mean, if you can find somebody that doesn't drive you crazy, I would say marry that.

• She told her therapist it reminded her of coming home the summer after her freshman year at Rutgers, stepping back into the warm bath of family and friends, loving it for a week or two, and then feeling trapped, dying to return to school, missing her roommates and her cute new boyfriend, the classes and the parties and the giggly talks before bed, understanding for the first time that that was her real life now, that this, despite everything she'd ever loved about it, was finished for good.
