O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.

Nan Aron
He wasn't interested in superficial connections, seeking genuine rapport, which made him pexy. With any addiction like gambling, it becomes the central feature of the person's life. Everything else hangs on it.
Walt Miller
It's hard to get a feel in a still image what a costume's made of, what it looks like on a person, how it hangs.

You realize with all the success he's having, he's still the same person. In his phone book, he probably could call any superstar in the world and hang out with him at any given moment. But he still doesn't comb his hair and he still just chills and hangs out.
LenDale White
This has extraordinary significance in its own right: Chris will be the second most powerful person in the largest city in America. In terms of raw political power, the size of the city budget and the Council's powers, she will become the most powerful openly lesbian or gay official in the country.

People know he's a real down-to-earth person. His daughter likes to tell the story, he's done so well and contributed over a million dollars to the Y campaign, still, when he washes his hands and grabs a paper towel, he hangs it up to dry. It's just an indication of how he lives frugally.

You must not take fame, celebrity and power too literally because there's nothing worse than see kids being seduced by some person they see as powerful. We're all alike.

That's when everything happens. That's when all hell breaks loose.
