It was so sweet backstage, you should have seen it: The Teamsters were helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo.
You kill me and I'll see that you never work in this town again.
Lots of women are getting involved. They're not satisfied just being passengers anymore.
I'm a bitter, sad, sour young man who makes a career out of hastling people with real careers.
