Once a thing is known,it can't be UNknown.

One of the significant reasons why women who are trafficked and forced to work as prostitutes often don't want to come forward is because they're worried they'll be deported.

Bryan Ferry

Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!

Well, I was making a record, and I had to choose a name, because they said, you know, you can't make a record under the name of Reg Dwight, because it's never going to - you know, it's not attractive enough.

Kid Rock

When I was making my first record there would be something that would come out that would inspire you, you know? You'd see someone on TV or on the radio.

Jane Austen

I am fond of history and am very well contented to take the false with the true. In the principal facts they have sources of intelligence in former histories and records, which may be as much depended on, I conclude, as anything that does not actually pass under ones own observation; and as for the little embellishments you speak of, they are embellishments, and I like them as such.

Demetri Martin

I never set out to do a sketch show.
