Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.

If you search for truthfulness, you might as well be blind.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

And so my child and I came to this place to meet him eye to eye and face to face. He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced. We never knew what friends we had, until we came to Leningrad.
