I don't even know if it's possible, but if it were, I'd like to make those kinds of old movies where the women were articulate and intelligent and flawed and witty.

There was a time there when I thought going out was so fun. I don't know how it happens, but suddenly that's not a priority anymore.

You're so full of crap, you could pass for a toilet.

Dollars cannot buy yesterday.

[In the 1960s]...you could take LSD but you couldn't wear a pantsuit.
