Quotes

  • "If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy."

  • "Marta talks about sensuality, but I don't think she'd know sensuality if it bit her on the ass."
  • "Love is not something that you can put chains on and throw into a lake. That's called Houdini. Love is liking someone a lot."
  • "People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair."
  • "Laurie got offended that I used the word 'puke.' But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like."
  • "When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window or it'll turn into a fossil."
  • "When I was in the 3rd grade, a bully in school started beating me up every day. At first I didn't say anything, but then I told dad. He got a real scared look on his face and asked if the bully had a big dad. I said I didn't know. But he still seemed scared. And just a few days later we moved to a new town. Dad told me that if anyone picked on me, not to fight back. Unless I knew the kid didn't have a dad or the dad was real small. Otherwise just curl up in a ball."
