Fear goes hand-in-hand with artistic creation, and no amount of success will make the fear go away entirely.
Be the best at what you’re good at.
Old radicals never changed. They just got law degrees and updated their bag of tricks.
It runs in the family. And don’t expect me to be ashamed. Yankees lock away loony relatives, but down here, we prop ’em up on parade floats and march ’em through the middle of town.
Bobby Tom: You’re supposed to be my assistant, not a baby-sitter! Gracie: One and the same.
I can’t chitchat and make breakfast at the same time. You could help, you know, instead of standing there like the Queen of England. Although you’re a lot better-looking.
Gracie: You have an unusual house. Have you lived here long? Bobby Tom: A couple of years. I don’t much like it myself, but the architect is real proud of it. She calls it urban Stone Age with a Japanese Tahitian influence. I sort of just call it ugly.
Don’t mess with me, Calvin. You’ll only get hurt.
Be quiet, or I swear to God I’ll take you right here.
Why don’t I just hand you my panties and be done with it.
I don’t need to be fixed anymore. That job’s already been done. I love you, Annabelle. -Heath Champion-.

In case you still haven’t figured it out, he loves you. Your tiger will be back in the morning, and you can thank me anytime. Now, do I have to paint another picture for you, or do you think you can take it from here by yourself without screwing up?
I don’t care how much evidence the state presented. I’ve never for one moment believed he murdered that waitress.
He settled his hat back into position. She was a rookie in her first big game, and he’d never let her see how close she’d come to unseating a champion.
She’s as plastic as you are. If you ever have kids, they’ll come out of the birth canal with Fisher-Price stamped on their butts.
Hey, everybody, Jerry Maguire’s here.
I always want to try to bring something fresh to every book. It’s getting harder instead of easier. I feel like I work harder with each book. But I don’t want it to show on the pages, that’s for sure.
