Drunk Quotes

We watched her come with subtle fire And learned feet, Stumbling among the lustful drunk Yet somehow sweet.

Tabloids invoke freedom of speech, but they're not interested in that, they're just interested in who's shagging whom, who's got drunk. And if you take that pretend, faux moral standpoint, you end up with people in public life being completely boring. Like they've had their genitals removed.

He's a character, ... So I take his parameters and don't infuse my issues or parameters one way or the other. He's a guy that is functioning drunk. He has what they call a traveling buzz. He might step out and have a short one at noon, but he never gets falling-down drunk.

Rhymes, meters, stanza forms, etc., are like servants. If the master is fair enough to win their affection and firm enough to command their respect, the result is an orderly happy household.
