Remember, for every shot you fire, someone, somewhere, is making money.

The good old days are now.

It's a responsibility of the writer to get the reader out of the story somehow.

That's fairly common. We don't believe anything we don't want to believe.

I know nothing more important to inculcate into the minds of young people than the wisdom, the honor, and the blessed comfort of living within their income.

I'm a real low profile guy. So a date night for me is kind of curled up at home and watching something... have a nice glass of wine, a nice meal and we're all set.

It's very easy to live here. You're anonymous here. Nobody knows who you are.
