You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.

Just beat my record for most consecutive days without dying.

All parties are good.

I think we're all sort of imprisoned by - or at least bound to - the choices we make... You want to say no at the right time and you want to say yes more sparingly.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over and over and over?

I've retired a couple of times. It's great, because you can just say, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I'm retired.'

And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
