I'll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.
I don't do quagmires.
What I do is try to stay away from the hot subjects.
I often work by avoidance.
I resolved to try to steer clear of politics. That wasn't easy.
I try to avoid experience if I can. Most experience is bad.
I promise you I try very hard to stay out of party politics. I run away from it.
I've avoided the press and a lot of stuff that would have made me more visible just because it's not my style.
The art of life is the art of avoiding pain; and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset.
I wouldn't be face-washing anyone in real life. I'd be skating to the bench real fast to get away.
I keep my nose clean. I let the drama go on with somebody else.
I'd like to get out of here without having to talk to the producer.
We may not go about parroting truth and nonviolence and steering clear of them in our daily life.
I don't particularly want to smear myself into a hillside.
I was fortunate to not get wrapped up too hard in anything that was too dangerous.
