en I'm proposing increases that amount to a nickel on a can of pop or beer - and you all know that I love soda pop. I drink Pepsis all the time and I'm willing to pay 5 cents more. We're proposing a quarter on a good bottle of wine and less than $1.50 on a fifth of hard liquor, the good stuff.

en For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.

en Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. [The influence of these huge and powerful corporations on the media leads to a pernicious kind of censorship. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many of these corporations own and control the media. In 1996 the Seagram Company ran a whiskey ad on an NBC affiliate in Texas, thus breaking the decades-old tradition of liquor ads not being carried on television. Although network television is leery of running liquor ads for fear of offending their beer advertisers, Advertising Age reported that Seagram might have a] winning card to play, ... If Seagram came to us with a hard-liquor ad, we'd have to look at it.

en I was living in London and I thought, 'there's nothing here for me anymore'. I don't want to become this actor who's going to be doing this occasional good work in the theater and then ever diminishing bad television.

en The wine industry has wholeheartedly embraced sustainable farming practices. We are taking that concept a step further by introducing the idea of sustainable business practices.

en The bar is a really easy place to save money. Instead of just offering everything from top-shelf liquor to house wine, just limit it to wine, beer and soft drinks.

en Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.

This kind of finish just shows that it's not over until the fat lady sings.
