The marvelous thing about a joke with a double meaning is that it can only mean one thing.

For me, I never want anyone outside of my immediate family and outside of me to have the power to alter the way that I walk, talk, shop, or date.

See I’m used to seeing myself with hair now, so it’s not a big deal. Now when I see pictures of me bald I’m like ‘ew.’ But people are used to seeing me bald so when I’m walking around without the hat on, I see people doing a lot of double takes.
You have to have something worth saying and then the ability to say it- writing’s a double skill, really.

Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius.
I’m kind of a double middle child.
I was tortured fifteen times, that’s total submission. They did that with shutting off your blood circulation with ropes, giving you claustrophobia and pain at the same time, bending you double.
‘Genes, Girls, and Gamow’ was an attempt, even more than ‘The Double Helix,’ to mix science with one’s personal life. With ‘The Double Helix,’ no one had done it before, but I thought I’d try.
