“Any musician who says he is playing better either on tea, the needle, or when he is juiced, is a plain straight liar . . . You can miss the most important years of your life, the years of possible creation.”

“When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try.

Joss Whedon
“But when I did it, the thread unraveled. So I ended up jabbing in the needle and pouring ink all over my arm.”

“Everybody is on pins and needles here. We are just waiting it out to see when and where the hurricane will hit.”
Jeff Hess
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits,/ A poet's pen all scorn I should thus wrong/ For such despite they cast on female wits. . . .”
Anne Bradstreet
“He was absolutely as solid as a rock, no matter how much pressure, ... He loved to provide the needle when I needed the needle applied.”
