Harry: So the whole... reconcilement... thing? Perry: Reconciliation, idiot.
Back in the day, cooking definitely was the thing where you could make a lot of money. Also, it was something that I liked to do.
What the Olympics and other mega-events have shown is that the significant investment required to host an international games successfully has the power to transform a region, and even a nation.
I think of religion as something that stains the person. It's a mindset you can never get free from, it's always in the back of your head.
What makes a comedian has nothing to do with religion. Think of Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Jackie Gleason, who were all Catholics.

The special relationship between the region and a regional celebrity means that people feel that they have a special investment in you.
They say it's better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.
