Would you describe yourself as lazy or hardworking?

LIZA:  I was brought up to be a hardworking person. And so I am.

But - that does not work when I'm writing. I have got to have a lazy style to get the writing to flow. And to be that lazy is really a hard work for me.

When I am sucessful my friends call me Lazy-Liza.



That's an early bird by force

Are you a night owl or an early bird?

CECILIA: I've got five alarm clocks running with five minutes delay. The first one goes off at 6 o’clock in the morning.
The last one goes of when I am sitting in my car driving to job, just to make sure I don’t fall asleep on the road.

No, I’m not an early bird by habit but by force.

Claudia is playing the lyre for Nero
It's said that roman emperor Nero played the fiddle (violin) while Rome burned during the great fire in AD 64.

Firstly, there was no such instrument as the fiddle (violin) in first century Rome. If Nero played anything during the Rome fire, it was probably the lyre.

Secondly, Nero problably didn't play by himself. He had beautiful lady slaves that played for him.

Do you like your teacher?

BENNY:   Yes, I like my teacher, but she does not like me!

I've tried the apple trick, but she said that was too cheap.

Maybe I went too far that time when I placed a farting machine under her chair. Everyone in the class thought it was funny, but not the teacher.

She's probably no sense of humor.

You are a couple. How did you meet?


I am a fisherman and one day at sea I discovered a wrecked surfers. It was Jessica who floated out to sea on a broken surfboard. I saved her from drowning.

It turned out that Jessica is a nurse and as thanks for saving her life, she now takes care of me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We might as well get married, and so we did.
