If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

A lot of life is about how you feel relating to dealing with this person or that person. If this person makes you feel good, then they're a person to be around; if they don't, they're not.
