What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Man is neither angel nor brute, and the unfortunate thing is that he who would act the angel acts the brute.

My last words? Life is no way to treat an animal, not even a mouse.
