I was told when I went for a life-insurance exam when I was 18 that I was not likely to live past 50, so I refused to pay the premium.

They have already refused to sign and they are un likely to participate.

Sometimes you pay a premium to get what you want.

I think you?re going to pay a premium for the hotels, but you probably would pay a premium anyway because of spring break.

I'm trying to get my life together. I'm trying to put my past behind me, and the scar is part of that.

I don't like to hurry. I'm not a conductor of the fast, fiery romantic type. I prefer Bruckner, with the sincerity of his musical language and the huge time spans in which his ideas develop, to Mahler, with his hysteria and self-indulgence.
