Quote

I like crisp words like 'blimey', 'yikes', 'crap' which describe consternation, embarrassment, and sometimes wonderment without making me type so many alphabets.

I have a speech impediment because I slur a lot, and they even make fun of me on 'Cougar Town' because there's certain word combinations that I just can't say.

Critics called me 'egregious' - I had to look that one up - and 'creepy', but now I don't read them, I weigh them.

I huff and puff and struggle with every sentence, paragraph and page - sometimes every word as well.

I like 'nerves'! I like the word 'migraineur'. I like the word 'madness'. These are OK words. The 19th century had a very handy term: 'neurasthenic'. I think that's a very useful word. We all know what that means: it means extra-sensitive.

I know only two words of American slang, 'swell' and 'lousy'. I think 'swell' is lousy, but 'lousy' is swell.

I have kind of a personality defect in that I find the word 'no' hard to articulate.

I use the term 'spine' for people when I think that they may seem on the surface sort of reticent, shy, self-deprecating, shying away from the spotlight. Quiet.

I'm crass, contemptuous and crude, obstreperous, obnoxious, rambunctiously raw and rude.
