• I think the best analogy for where we are right now is that America is Elvis Presley -- the most beautiful, talented, rebellious nation in the history of Earth. And now, you're in your Vegas years. You've squeezed yourself into a white jumpsuit, you're wheezing your way through 'Love Me Tender' and you might be about to pass away bloated on the toilet. But you're still the King.

  John Oliver

  Beautiful, Kings, Thinking

• Un carnaval a la luz del día es una bestia inacabada, de todos modos. La lluvia la convierte en un fantasma. La música sibilante de las atracciones vacías e inmóviles en una feria de tarde empapada y lluviosa siempre me golpeaba el pecho con un dulce dolor. La danza de colores de las luces en el aire que se filtraba iluminaba los charcos en el serrín con un glamour aceitoso.

• Without discipline and detachment, an actor is an emotional slob, spilling his insides out. This abandonment is having an unfortunate vogue. It is tasteless, formless, absurd. Without containment there is no art. All this vomiting and wheezing and bursting at the seams is no more great acting than the convulsions of raving maniacs.

• Era un día de niebla en Londres, y la niebla era espesa y oscura. El Londres animado, con los ojos irritados y los pulmones irritados, parpadeaba, resollaba y se ahogaba; el Londres inanimado era un espectro de hollín, dividido en su propósito entre ser visible e invisible, y por lo tanto no ser ninguno de los dos.
