4 " As you get older you strip away the things you don't have time for, and then you are left with only the things you have time for.

You become no longer a person so much as a place, an unfunny place where things come to get done. "
― Jonathan Goldstein

7 " There are a lot of funny people and a lot of unfunny people. Some of them are women and some of them are dudes. "
