Billy Ray Valentine: Hey that's the motherf- I mean... that's the gentleman that had me busted.
Beeks: Hey. Back off! I'll rip out your eyes and piss on your brain.
Duke & Duke receptionist: Yes Mr. Valentine, they're waiting for you in the last office down the hall.
Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: The only place I get hurt is out there. The world don't give a shit about me.
Jon Osterman: Your mind goes to dark places and you wonder why I keep the worst from you.
Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition; it's all too superficial for me.
But even with no money you could still go to places like the Scotch Club and, you know, John Lennon might be sitting right over there, but I was certainly not a part of any of that circle. I was truly peripheral.
If you're an entrepreneur, and you have a choice to go to a place where there are 250 VC firms or somewhere else where there might be one or two, you're gonna go where all the money is.
I lost my daughter at 21. I had to give her up because I was broke, no place to take her, no money to take her. That was very traumatic.

A television chat show is light entertainment, so it is trivial by its very nature. It is hardly the place to get people to reveal their innermost thoughts. Then it becomes sensationalism, and you lower yourself to the level of the popular newspapers...
Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace.
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
I have lately returned from Harpers Ferry, to which place I was suddenly called, on the 17th instant, by causes the most disturbing and destructive to the peace and safety of this State.
Fashion can be a really powerful tool, but it's also a place where you can be totally humiliated and have your power taken from you.
In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being.
It seemed uncanny that words, spread across a page just so, had the power to transport me to another time or place. But they could.
