I have long said there are three distinct groups under the GOP's tent: theological warriors, who want to impose their social views on the rest of society; Tea Party zealots, who say with a straight face that they want the government to get out of the...
Helen: You take him to the orphanage right this minute Hub: Whether we take him to the orphanage or tie him up and throw him in the lake, that's OUR business, not yours

I'm just there to do interviews and stuff, because we have about 40 media people there, so it's a very, very busy week. But that's the only time. I did marry, I think on one show, about 25 couples in Acapulco Bay once, but that was all just for kicks...
Part of the way the work world works is not so much creating a separation between your work and your free time, but creating the illusion of a separation between your work and your free time. Every day is the weekend for me, which means I'm always bu...
I don't take pictures when I'm with my kids, for the sake of my kids. It's important when you're as busy as I am that you give your kids your time when you're with them, and nothing compromises that. I've been lucky enough to have fans that understan...

Nicky Santoro: I've been trying to reach you. You're tougher to get than the president. Charlie Clark: Well, I've been busy. Nicky Santoro: Yeah, the least you could do is return my phone calls, though.
Billy Costigan: Hey, you fellas come from Providence? Providence Gangster #2: Isn't any of your business where we come from, is it, now? Billy Costigan: Fuckin' delivering cannolis or something?
Azim: [referring to the bathhouse] Semyon recommends this place for business meetings, because you can see what tattoos a man has. Come on, we have a lot to cover. Let's cook.
