“Someone put opera on inside the house. Someone changed it to hip-hop, thank God. Someone started a shower. Someone vacuumed. Again.Life. In all its mundane majesty.And you couldn't take advantage of it if you were sitting on your ass in the shadows... whether it was in actuality, or metaphorically because you were trapped in an attic's darkness.”
“That's because you've never been one. You haven't spent years wearing someone else's clothes, taking someone else's name, living in someone else's houses, and working someone else's job to fit in. And if you don't sell out, then you run away... proving you're the Gypsy they said you were all along.”
“home is where your ass is and if you want to move you move your ass the first step is learning to change homes with someone else and have someone else's ass.”
“You didn't mind someone shutting out the world as long as they were happy to take you inside with them.”
“If you are going to put your ass in front of someone, at least have one.”
“Someone needs to take that stick out of your ass and beat you with it”
