Albert Camus

Liberty is the right to do what I like; license, the right to do what you like.

Bertrand Russell

When I'm doing a film, I love getting together after work with my costars. But we get back to L.A. and I'm like, 'I don't want to go to a club with you, dude. I mean, I think you're rad, and if you want to come play Scrabble with me, that's amazing.'

Owen C. Middleton

The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.

James Brown

Please, we can get along here.

Rodney King

The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute.
