I carry my own film guys with me now. People think that's a huge expense, but with technology like it is these days, it's not. You can film videos and everything with a Canon Mark II, and shoot a movie. They're doing it for next to nothing, by compar...
I guess I've grown to admire Queen Elizabeth II more. I've always struggled with my feelings about the Royal Family. I am a supporter. I'm not someone who thinks we should get rid of them. But what I've struggled with is the lack of emotionality that...
I have always been drawn to the Restoration period of Charles II. I have a soft spot for Charles Stuart, who was always loving and kind to the opposite sex. The members of his court were fascinating, and Barbara Castlemaine was one of the greatest co...
To be sure, Kennedy did not discount the importance of words in rallying the nation to meet its foreign and domestic challenges. Winston Churchill's powerful exhortations during World War II set a standard he had long admired. Kennedy was hardly unmi...
The first piece I ever collected was a Roy Lichtenstein: a sculpture called 'Surrealist Head II'. There was a waiting list. I remember Steve Martin wanted one, and I wanted one. I got the 'Surrealist Head', and I was thrilled.

Randal Graves: We were just killing time with those classes! One semester we took Criminology, for Christ's sakes. What the fuck were we training to be, Batmen? [Jay and Silent Bob smile at each other]
Randal Graves: [to Dante] You're my best friend, and I love you... In a totally heterosexual way. Jay: [to Silent Bob] Yeah, right.
Randal Graves: [getting Gawking Guy's attention from watching Dante and Emma make out behind the counter] Avert your eyes, ya' perv! Gawking Guy: Not very hygienic. That's all I'm gonna tell you.
Dante Hicks: [about Becky] No, we had sex one night after work a few weeks ago. Randal Graves: What? Where? Dante Hicks: Here, on the prep station table. Randal Graves: Ew, that's my prep table.
Randal Graves: You can't get a chick, ya mook. You're too weird and sad. Elias: [gets angry] I turn down chicks left and right. Randal Graves: Your chicks *are* your left and right.
Annie: [Looking at a picture in the Necronomicon of Ash himself] In 1300 AD they called this man the uh, 'hero from the sky'. He was prophesied to have destroyed the evil. Ash: He didn't do a very good job...
Ash: Hey, what do you say we have some champagne, huh, baby? Linda: Sure. Ash: After all, I'm a man and you're a woman... at least last time I checked. Huh huh.
Ash: [having just gotten hit in the face with a gusher of blood that turns to black goo] Old double-barrel here, blow your guts to Kingdom Come! [staggers backward, voice drops] Ash: See if we don't!
Ed Getley: We are the things that were and shall be again! Ahahahaha! Spirits of the book! We want what is yours! LIFE! Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn! Possessed Henrietta: Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Kay: It made me think of what you once told me: "In five years the Corleone family will be completely legitimate." That was seven years ago. Michael Corleone: I know. I'm trying, darling.
[When asked by reporters why he has decided to move to Israel] Hyman Roth: I am a retired investor on a pension, and I wished to live there as a Jew in the twilight of my life.
Danny Butterman: Point Break or Bad Boys II? Nicholas Angel: Which one do you think I'll prefer? Danny Butterman: No, I mean which one do you wanna watch first?
Giovanni Cappa: I learned this from Charley Lucky during the World War II. Charlie: Oh? What did he do? Giovanni Cappa: What did he do? He was there, that's what he did.
Lorraine Baines: Biff, somebody already asked me to the dance. Biff Tannen: Who? That bug George McFly? Lorraine Baines: I'm going with Calvin Klein, okay? Biff Tannen: Calvin Klein? No, it's not okay!
Marty McFly, Jr.: [re: the tiny pizza from Pizza Hut] Grandma, when it's ready, could you just shove it in my mouth? Middle-Aged Marty: Don't you be a smart-ass!
