I pretend to care about people, and people give me approval for it. That's the contract you ripped to pieces. OK. You wanted it this way. Just remember that.

American television needs a greater diversity of faces. That means some clean shaven, some moustaches, some beards, some sideburns, some bald…

Tom Hanks plays clever animals that have mastered the trick of talking and even lying when necessary without ever liking it. An island full of them would just point and grunt when they weren't ignoring each other.

Yes, for every 10 times you are robbed in Australia, you may expect to be robbed in the US 11 times, and for every time you are murdered in Australia, you may expect to be murdered four times in the US.

Those art school wannabes will dance to anything.

As one of the many people who read this feature out of a practical need to learn the most facts about Adrian Grenier in the shortest amount of time, I agree.

Sigh…

Man, I always wanted an acolyte. "I'm going to do terrible things to you. I'm going to treat you like a slave and abuse the crap out of you. And it's all, uh, to test your mettle and toughen you up. Yeah, that's the ticket."

Emily Dickinson started the trend with sexy Death.

I resent the unqualified way in which you present your viewpoint. That may be a "fact" to you, but it's not to me. I don't believe in them, and I refuse to cede the conversation to those who presume to possess them. The mantle of authority is mine.
