“How can I throw my life away in the least unhappy way?”
“Since I was 15 years old I've never been able to spend Christmas, Halloween or Thanksgiving (with friends and family). This was the first time I was able to enjoy a Super Bowl.”
“It is fine to stand upon some lofty mountain thought, and feel the spirit stretch into a view.”
“In the next ten years we will have to continue to make changes which will make the whole of this country a genuinely classless society.”
“I am, and have always been, a pornographic angel.”
“I swear to God, I don't remember anything Gwyneth Paltrow was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt and I ever heard about her work.”
“Money spent on good-quality gear is always money well spent”

“...So please, be tolerant of those who describe a sporting moment as their best ever. We do not lack imagination, nor have we had sad and barren lives; it is just that real life is paler, duller, and contains less potential for unexpected delirium.”
