I didn't know Johnny Depp could act until he played me.

There might be some serious fun in politics.

Smart people understand that there is no such thing as paranoia. It is just another mask for ignorance.

Most of my friends are into strange things I don't really understand - and with a few shameful exceptions I wish them all well. Who am I, after all, to tell some friend he shouldn't change his name to Oliver High, get rid of his family, and join a Satanism cult in Seattle? Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance?

He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time.

A man never stoops so low as when he rises to the challenge of politics.

It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.
