They sit before you at a press conference like five unfolding switchblades; their faces set in rehearsed snarls; their hair studiously unkempt and matted; their clothes part of some private conceit; and the way they walk and talk and the songs they sing all become part of some long mean reach for the jugular.»

A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.»
