Lots of people there seemed to be in denial in absolute denial of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A. if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day you might not die.

There's only one requirement of any of us and that is to be courageous. Because courage as you might know defines all other human behavior. And I believe - because I've done a little of this myself - pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.

There are pretenders to piety as well as to courage.

When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.

I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful.

Summer bachelors like summer breezes are never as cool as they pretend to be.

I do not pretend to know precisely what is on foot there but I think it pretty evident that there is a very free communication between that country and this body and unless I am greatly mistaken I see the dwarfish medium by which that communication is kept up.

Yes it must be something that goes very well with my voice let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others and I don't pretend for instance to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.

I'm a car singer in fact sometimes I pretend to take my dog out for a walk and I'll just drive him around and start singin'.

The whole business is built on ego vanity self-satisfaction and it's total crap to pretend it's not.
