Drugs had shown me little bits here and there-they had rolled across the carpet once or twice, but I had been able to get them out of my mind.

I'm actually doing what I want with my life. I do sometime think I could just shut up and rest on my laurels and say: you know what guys, I'll operate out of the pocket you put me in.... but no way! No way I'm gonna do that! I'd just get bored stiff the first minute.

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader he was the quickest wit and the smartest.

At the office where the paper grows, she takes a break, drinks another coffee, and she finds it hard to stay awake. It's just another day.

Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.

No matter how accomplished or how many awards you get, you're always still thinking there's somebody out there who's better than you.
