All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.

I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.

The spirit of determination is the soul set on fire.

Anyone who wants to be an example to others, must first examine himself.

People who say that music is dead or hip-hop is dead are refusing to evolve.
