I knew that I had been partially right in the storeroom above the bar on Christmas Day. Whoever I had become had to die.
I think commercialism helps Christmas and I think that the more capitalism we can inject into the Christmas holiday the more spiritual I feel about it
Santa blows all these shipping companies away. He delivers more than 2 billion packages in just 24 hours. He does it by sleigh. He doesn't use tracking numbers and doesn't use trucks. He just uses midgets and a giant bag.
Its easier to feel a little more spiritual with a couple of bucks in your pocket.
The worst gift I was given is when I got out of rehab that Christmas; a bottle of wine. It was delicious.
I grew up in Scotland in the 1970s. There was not much money. The most popular Christmas toy was probably a potato.
The Aussie got up towards the 76 US cents level and then up around those levels we did have quite a deal of importer-related selling,
It's very interesting to know what people are doing while you're working on late-night television.
It's totally free. It is the complete freedom of performance, ... The first time (the monologue is) performed is when you see it on TV, and it'll never be seen again. It's pure TV. Bam! It's there, and then it's gone.

We could continue to see the euro push up.
I got sober. I stopped killing myself with alcohol. I began to think: 'Wait a minute - if I can stop doing this, what are the possibilities?' And slowly it dawned on me that it was maybe worth the risk.
The term Big Brother is from George Orwell's book 1984 - where everyone's watched over by a network of cameras called Big Brother. I've never understood why Orwell chose that phrase for somebody watching you all the time. Isn't that more like Creepy Uncle?
We wanted something different this year. We're still keeping the musicianship, as opposed to it being a jam band fest. There's also a lot more standard bluegrass acts and we've never had an act like Bobby McFerrin before. You don't have to be a bluegrass artist - you just have to be a great artist to fit in at Telluride.
