• When someone kisses someone or flushes the toilet
  it is my other who sits in a ball and cries.
  My other beats a tin drum in my heart.
  My other hangs up laundry as I try to sleep.
  My other cries and cries and cries
  when I put on a cocktail dress.

• You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved.

If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.
