There are few takers for the quiet heart.

It is the perfect wrong time for Jeremy to do to Mirabelle what she had done to him - call him up for a quick fix - because, in a sense, she is now betrothed. Her first date with someone who treated her well obligates her to faithfulness, at least until the relationship is explored.

Despite a lack of natural ability, I did have the one element necessary to all early creativity: naïveté, that fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do.

It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.

Home to me is when someone comes up to me and says, Can I get a selfie? No. It's where your wife and your family are. It's the emotional place where you feel like you're not away from it.

... you're nuts but you're welcome here.

I will do anything to look like him - except, of course, exercise or eat right.

I really like the animated film process. It's kind of like doing a play, because you can experiment with it, rewrite it, screen it, go back, then work on it a little bit more. If the joke doesn't work, you can fix it. It's different from a live action movie.

As a school board we felt it's an unfair expense to families. The lawsuit has a certain logic to it - if you have free public education, you can't put these things on top of it. It defeats the purpose.

I ignored my stand-up career for twenty-five years, but now, having finished this memoir, I view this time with surprising warmth. One can have, it turns out, an affection for the war years.

...a young man, Jamaican, perhaps, his head circled in a scarf with sunbleached dreadlocks on piled on top, looking like a plate of soft-shell crabs.

I believe in equality. Equality for everybody. No matter how stupid they are or how superior I am to them.

I started a grease fire at McDonald's - threw a match in the cook's hair.

Or is it that I think too much?

In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.

I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.

It's not the size of the nose that matters, it's what's inside that counts.

You can't make something beautiful by trying to make something beautiful. Something becomes beautiful in the process of trying to be something else.

I think there are people out there writing original bluegrass songs, but it's hard to get them out on the air.

No matter how many times people say it - 'Oh, I'm just writing this for myself' 'Oh, I'm just doing this for myself' - nobody's doing it for themselves! You're doing it for an audience. So whether I'm performing or writing a book or playing music, it's definitely to be put out there and to be received in some way, definitely.
