I'm not into politics. I'm into survival.
I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
I think the Republican party should be placed in drydock and have the barnacles scraped off its bottom.
Too many of our countrymen rejoice in stupidity, look upon ignorance as a badge of honor. They condemn everything they don't understand.
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
Bette [Davis] and I are good friends. There's nothing I wouldn't say to her face - both of them.
I've tried several varieties of sex. The conventional position makes me claustrophobic, and the others either give me a stiff neck or lockjaw.

With nearly two years remaining in his presidency, George W. Bush is alone.
