My parents would frisk me before family events. Before weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and what have you.

I read the Bible when I was 12 while studying for my bar mitzvah. I was also reading a lot of Dilbert comics at the time, and I guess the two kind of got fused in my mind. I’ve always imagined God as an irrational, distractible boss. It’s my best explanation for our planet Picture Quote #1

I think my first experience of art, or the joy in making art, was playing the horn at some high-school dance or bar mitzvah or wedding, looking at a roomful of people moving their bodies around in time to what I was doing.

I met Evan Goldberg at bar-mitzvah class. It was called tallis and tefillin Picture Quote #1

I never really liked cool books. I plowed through as much Borges and Joyce as possible, read the first half of V. and spent whole Bar Mitzvah checks on Beat poetry Picture Quote #1

My parents’ convictions, when it came to discipline, were not very strong. For my bar mitzvah, I gave out a mix tape of 90s grunge - if you got it now, you would think it was the ‘Singles’ soundtrack Picture Quote #1

I struggled with being a Latino growing up in Los Angeles. I felt very American. I still do. I went to 35 bar mitzvahs before I went to a single quinceanera. I could talk all day about my culture and what it means to me Picture Quote #1

I played in front of every conceivable audience you could face: an all-black audience, all-white, firemen’s fairs, policemen’s balls, in front of supermarkets, bar mitzvahs, weddings, drive-in theaters. I’d seen it all before I ever walked into a recording studio Picture Quote #1

Allowing yourself to stop reading a book - at page 25, 50, or even, less frequently, a few chapters from the end - is a rite of passage in a reader’s life, the literary equivalent of a bar mitzvah or a communion, the moment at which you look at yourself and announce: Today I am an adult. I can make my own decisions Picture Quote #1

I am terminally sentimental about graduations. They are more individual than weddings, more conscious than christenings, or bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs. They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals-though I assure you, there is life after graduation Picture Quote #1

This is hands down the biggest, most exciting thing I’ve ever been involved with in my life. I can only compare it to my Bar Mitzvah Picture Quote #1
