Somebody had recorded one of my songs. Dolly Parton
I read in the ‘Daily Mail’ that I’m one of these ‘foul-mouthed comedians.’ But I’m much cleaner than the people they like. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to think that a 70-year-old – particularly someone like Alan Bennett – would like it, because they’ve seen a lot of stuff. Stewart Lee

Now back in those days, to become a rural mail carrier you had to be approved by congress. Betty Hill
I’m getting a lot of mail from readers, and I’d say 90% seem to be from adults, which amazes me. But then again, I can only write what I imagine I’d like to read, and I’m an adult, so maybe it’s not so surprising after all. Ransom Riggs

I get mail; therefore I am. Scott Adams

David Mixner
The U.S. government doesn’t build your computers, nor do you fly aboard a U.S. government owned and operated airline.

I don’t think that’s true of adults as much. Lois Lowry
We get information in the mail, the regular postal mail, encrypted or not, vet it like a regular news organization, format it – which is sometimes something that’s quite hard to do, when you’re talking about giant databases of information – release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks. Julian Assange
I have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me. Kurt Cobain
