We are proud to join Mrs. Bush and continue our successful partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America with this new advertising, which has the potential to positively impact so many young people in our country.

Whether these suits have any validity is another question, but I think you're going to see more of them. I've seen ads saying, 'If you've been a customer of XYZ firm and lost money, you'll be able to recover it.' You'll see a lot of ambulance-chasing lawyers trying to feed off of this.

Erica Mann Jong

What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.

Fred Thompson

There are 365 days in the year, and as a working actor, you might only work 17 of them. You might only need to do two ads and you can afford to live for the year, but it doesn't make for a very satisfactory or fulfilling life. The point isn't to not work - it's to work.

John Nields

Mr. Hubbell during 1995 answered over 10,000 questions from various investigators. It's child's play to go through those 10,000 statements and pick out a few on which his answers were inaccurate or on which they differed with some other witness.

After two British agents failed comprehensively, I was reading Locus (the SF field's trade journal) and noticed a press release about an experienced editor leaving her job to join an agent in setting up a new agency. And I went "aha!" - because what you need is an agent who knows the industry but who doesn't have a huge list of famous clients whose needs will inevitably be put ahead of you. So I emailed her, and ... well, 11 years later I am the client listed at the top of her masthead!

I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals.
