我不是客观的奴隶。我一直不太清楚那是什么意思。它对不同的人有不同的意义。
Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.
收音机现在也是一门很奇怪的生意。有一扇很窄的门，只有很少的人控制着游戏的内容。
I don't know any comedian who tailors his act to his audience. Maybe people say they do, but I can't even imagine them.
我不知道哪个喜剧演员会根据观众的口味来调整自己的表演。也许人们会这么说，但我甚至无法想象。
Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books.

告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话，直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能，如果你听从它，都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
