I thought if I could create a convincing cat I could say and do anything I wanted on the human condition.
I am mean as cats' meat about handbags: mine don't ever look chic. I always prefer bags that aren't made of leather.
I'm an avid animal lover. When I was 16, I wanted to be a vet or a zookeeper. I grew up with animals. At one time we had between five and eight dogs in the house, with four cats. We're menagerie people.
The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.
Dr. Baugh: Sometimes I wish I had a pill to make people disappear.
Brick Pollitt: People like doing what they used to do, after they've stopped being able to do it.
Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: [to Mae] Not only will I spit on you, I'll claw your eyes out.
Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: Where did I fail you? Where did I make my mistake?
Coraline Jones: How can you walk away from something and then come towards it? Cat: Walk around the world. Coraline Jones: Small world.
Danielle Foussard: I heard some talk in the kitchen. They say, "What a pity if they must kill The Cat!"
Alan Garner: There's a jungle cat in the bathroom! [Phil walks into the bathroom, then hurries out] Phil Wenneck: Holy fuck, he's not kidding! There's a tiger in there!
Kiki: You know that painter that found the stuffed cat? She wants to do a picture of me. Jiji: Naked? Kiki: Jiji!
Batman: What're you losers talking about? Thought I'd help you guys out. Left the weird cat thing to stall.
Engywook: Here comes one that *looks* fancy! Let's see what he REALLY thinks of himself! Go on, scared cat!
When we manage a restaurant, we start making money from the first day. When we own a place, it's often five years before we earn the first penny that is clean of debt.
There's the common misconception that restaurants make a lot of money. It's not true. If you look at maybe the top chef in the world, or at least monetarily, it's like Wolfgang Puck, but he makes as much money as an average crappy investment banker.
I never minded flying cheap. I always said to myself, 'Taking this flight saves enough money to rescue four dogs, or six cats, or will let me make a difference to the one woman saving chimps in Cameroon.'
When I eat, I have to chop up everything on the plate and stir it all together. It devastates my mom. Everyone at the table is like, 'That looks like cat vomit.' And I stir my Coke with a spoon until it's flat.
[after Rocco accidentally turns a cat into a splatter on the wall] Murphy: I can't believe that just fucking happened! Rocco: Is it dead?
Jim: [Bart comes in after spending the night with Lili Von Stupp] Oh deary dear. Look what the cat dragged in.
She was trusted and valued by her father, loved and courted by all dogs, cats, children, and poor people, and slighted and neglected by everybody else.
