"It shrinks my liver..........It pickles my kidneys.........But what does it do to my mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly I'm above the ordinary. I'm competent - supremely competent. I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I'm one of the great ones. I'm Michelangelo molding the beard of Moses. I'm van Gogh painting pure sunlight."
Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, The Lost Weekend.
