If I didn't do something perfectly, I had to do it again... I grew up with a glue gun pointed at my head.

If you want to punish somebody, never talking to them again is a really good method.

I never threatened him and no Syrian intelligence officer has ever pointed a gun to his head.

I grew up at a time with androgyny in the 1980s; it was easy to pass under the radar as a gay may.

And about two weeks later, with a hot-glue gun and some PVC pipe and a Tupperware container for a reservoir, he built this thing and had it working in his house.

Everyone smiles with that invisible gun to their head.
