That deep, can-still-taste-her-in-my-mouth sleep.
Right now some future general is lying in his crib trying to get his big toe in his mouth. Such was probably the case of our guest of honor tonight.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
All food is comfort food. Maybe I just like to chew.
People seem to get weirdly obsessed with my mouth.
For some reason, chewing gum for me gets my brain going.
Smoking is very bad for you and should only be done because it looks so good. People who don't smoke have a terrible time finding something polite to do with their lips.
I bite my nails. I've been chewing on them for years. As long as you don't chew through flesh it's all right.
I still bite my nails.
I bite the skin on the side of my fingernails.
Smoking too much makes me nervous. Must lasso my natural tendency to acquire such habits. Holding heavy cigar constantly in my mouth has deformed my upper lip, it has a sort of Havana curl.
I have learned to smoke because I need something to hold onto.
I bite my nails.
I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'
I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people's mouths.
The mouth can be better engaged than with a cylinder of rank weed.
As a child in the early 1980s, I tended to talk with things in my mouth - food, dentist's tubes, balloons that would fly away, whatever - and if no one else was around, I'd talk anyway.

I'm a nail biter and have been my whole life.
Eating words has never given me indigestion.
I bite my nails so bad. They're awful! My nails are so ugly. I need to stop biting them.
Sucking your thumb without a blanket is like eating a cone without ice cream!
Whenever you drop something by fight, it is never dropped. You can drop smoking by fighting, and then you will start doing something else which will become a substitute. You may start chewing gum, it is the same; You may start chewing pan, it is the same, there is no difference. You need something to do with your mouth - smoking, chewing, anything. When your mouth goes on working, you feel at ease because through the mouth tensions are released. So whenever a man feels tense he starts smoking.
The Americans are violently oral. That's why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all -- isn't respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.
I must always, always have a box of Extra chewing gum in my bag because I have developed a terrible cheek-chewing compulsion. It's not only uncomfortable, but I look really weird when I'm doing it, and chewing gum is the only way I can stop myself.
Oh, the ongoing love affair between hair and mouths. Hair always goes for the mouth. The mouth opens, and hair says, "I'm going in! I'm going in!" like a manic cave diver.
