When the Williams sisters play tennis, it gets pretty hot. When they start grunting, I'm in.

Compassionate conservative, that's like having a gun rack on a Volvo.

There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for.

You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome.

Sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never notice that this is a beautiful as it gets.

One day [when I relapsed] I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel's. And then that voice - I call it the 'lower power' - goes, 'Hey. Just a taste. Just one.' I drank it, and there was that brief moment of 'Oh, I'm okay!' But it escalated so quickly. Within a week I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street.

People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.
