I'm hoping to do a Broadway musical on the life of Rasputin. He's someone I can definitely identify with.
I met Bush but we didn't talk at all. To tell you the truth, I was too pissed.
Everything that I think is good is bad, and everything that I think is bad is good.

When you get to 60, the word "retirement" comes in on every conversation.
