“Marriage is about the most expensive way for the average man to get his laundry done.”
Burt Reynolds

“In my opinion, it was Donald (Trump)'s fault that the USFL didn't survive. Now don't get me wrong. I like Donald. I hold on to my wallet when we shake hands, but I like him. I just think his personal ambition sank the USFL. He was interested in only two things: money and publicity. John (Bassett) summed it up when he said that Donald's "ego transcended his business sense." (In the years since, every time Donald runs for president, I pray he never gets the chance to do to the USA what he did to the USFL.)”
Burt Reynolds, But Enough About Me

“Sally has spent most of her professional life working for respect. She started in television, first as Gidget (1965–66) and then as The Flying Nun (1967–70), and spent the next ten years trying to live those roles down. That explains why, when she won her second Oscar, for Places in the Heart (1984), she said, “I haven’t had an orthodox career, and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it—and I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!” She was making a reference to a line in Norma Rae, but nobody got the joke, and Sally got slammed for it. To make it worse, people misquoted her as saying, “You like me, you really like me!” That line has been dogging her ever since.”
