On Michael Jackson:
“I often thought of a veal calf when I saw him – he had been raised to perform under extreme pressure before he had any idea of what life could be beyond performing for others. Then he spent decades trying to build a life without ever having seen one. He had the best ear in the world but he had no aparent idea of how to experience everyday comfort, or even boredom."

On Bernard Madoff:
“Madoff and those he defrauded were co-dependent, the one offering a cover of devine paternalism and the other buying into the act...but to call Madoff a sociopath isn't really to explain our failure to pick up on his scam.”
– Daphne Merkin, New York Times Magazine
