You know why I'm pulling your leg? Because I can't touch it from where I am.

When you walk through a bad neighborhood, you don't want a poodle by your side. You want a Rottweiler.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

I'm forbidden fruit. Once you go to certain households, mommy doesn't want you to see that dirty man who sticks his tongue out and spits out blood and all that stuff.

It's possible to avoid a war. It's impossible to stop it.

Whatever you resist, persists.

In life as in football, fall forward when you fall.

I was able to do that [showing up of Democratic benefits] when I was the candidate. But I've not seen or presided over that kind of systematic outreach that I think needs to happen.

The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed armless children.

The best part of falling is getting back up again.

It's a fact that every minute you hold a child, it triples in mass.

One man's mistake is another man's opportunity.
