“My mind leaps to my theory about presidents - that there are two kinds, ones who have a lot of sex and the others who start wars. In short - and don't quote me, because this is an incomplete expression of a more complex premise - I believe blow jobs prevent war.”
“But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.”
“Of all the alchemies of human connection-sex and childbirth and marriage and friendship-the strangest is this: You can stand up and tell a story that is made entirely, embarrassingly, of "I's," and a listening audience somehow turns each "I" into a "me." This alchemy, of self-absorption into shared experience, is the alchemy of all literature.”
“The fact that a baby can be born today and condemned to a life of hardship, struggle, and discrimination simply because of sex is enraging.”
“Winning has a joy and discrete purity to it that cannot be replaced by anything else.”
“Eagleton has spent his life inside two mental boxes, Catholicism and Marxism, of both of which he is a severe internal criticâ€”that is, he frequently kicks and scratches at the inside of the boxes, but does not leave them. Neither are ideologies that loosen their grip easily, and people who need the security of adherence to a big dominating ideology, however much they kick and scratch but without daring to leave go, hold on to it every bit as tightly as it holds onto them. The result is of course strangulation, but alas not mutual strangulation: the ideology always wins.”
“If we can string together some wins this year, maybe I'll be a close second-or third behind Bart Starr-on their favorite quarterback list.”
“Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isnt ruined if I lose. Im always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, thats something thats nice about maturing.”
“We will win the battle for Africa, which is in effect a battle for Humanity.”
“My trade is a lonely one. I'm a craftsman, if you like. It so happens that these days singers are better paid than blacksmiths.”
