Bill Murray: [last line, after end credits] In the immortal words of Jean-Paul Sartre, 'Au revoir, Gopher.'
Well, Hollywood isn't made up of individual studio heads anymore. It's made of corporations. And corporations are looking for the bottom line. They don't want to take chances. They want the money back for stockholders.
I'm being told it saves money to shoot in Toronto, because of tax benefits, the crews are cheaper, but what I save in the bottom line, I lose in a million other ways.
The real literary editors have mostly been fired. Those that remain are all 'bottom line' editors; everything depends on the money.
I probably make more money in a year on 'Newhart' than 70 percent of your working top-name stars. Some weeks I just have six lines, but it doesn't bother me.
He who is honest in his dealings simply because of the social prestige and position it secures will never develop his higher nature, but will always live along the lower lines.
Why? Because we're very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and we're counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power.

I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.
When designers replaced the command line interface with the graphical user interface, billions of people who are not programmers could make use of computer technology.
