• When we are old and these rejoicing veins
  Are frosty channels to a muted stream,
  And out of all our burning there remains
  No feeblest spark to fire us, even in dream,
  This be our solace: that it was not said
  When we were young and warm and in our prime,
  Upon our couch we lay as lie the dead,
  Sleeping away the unreturning time.

• I started to make a joke that I had an imaginary friend underneath the let-out couch named Binky. I would never talk to him; I would only use him as entertainment for other people. I knew they thought that children had imaginary friends, so I was like, "I don't really believe in imaginary friends, but I want to feel like I do." I used to make a joke, "My imaginary friend Binky says this," because I knew it would get a laugh out of them.
