What you see is what you're going to get all the time. Running on the field, throwing the football, joking around, going to the movies. I don't know if he's ever really serious, other than blowing the whistle a couple of times during the season when the tempo isn't right at practice.

My way of joking is to tell the truth

I've been joking that 'On the Road' is the prequel to 'The Road.' I don't know if that's a very good joke.

She is very calm but I think we're getting to where we can get her laughing and joking more than she did. She really does have a good sense of humor.

He told me he had just turned 17 and I remember joking around saying why didn't your parents hold you back? He said, 'Hey, there's 10 of us. They're not holding anybody back.

Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.
