Quote by Ricki Lake

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane

Summary

This quote highlights a contradiction in the speaker's preferences regarding falling. While they express disdain for the feeling of falling, indicating an aversion to taking significant risks like jumping from a plane, they paradoxically enjoy the thrill of riding a roller coaster. It underscores how personal preferences can be inexplicable and inconsistent, as two seemingly similar experiences (falling and roller coasters) invoke contrasting emotions in this particular individual.
