The truth is that most families have no smart ones and no pretty ones. Most families are a bunch of unattractive dopes. And it turns out that the Bush family, like most families, has no smart ones. I was not surprised to see this.

I'm a horrible girlfriend. I always was. I'm great at the beginning, because I can be very romantic.

For the movie review columns, I always knew exactly what I was going to write about - the movies.

I wish that real estate were cheaper and clothes were more expensive.

A salad is not a meal, it is a style.

Smoking is, if not my life, then at least my hobby. I love to smoke. Smoking is fun. Smoking is cool. Smoking is, as far as I am concerned, the entire point of being an adult.

I've never seen the Kardashians I'm not sure who they are. But I know a lot about them because it's impossible not to.

If people don't hold grudges, it means they just don't care what people do.

Generally speaking, the poorer person summers where he winters.

I doubt there's ever been a true thing said on Fox. Maybe the weather report, maybe not.
