I went to my dad when I was 17 and said 'I want to be a country music star.' Which every dad loves to hear. And he said 'I want you to go to college.' So we had a discussion. And I'm pretty stubborn. I'm a lot like him. And he said 'If you go to college and graduate I'll pay your first six months of rent in Nashville.' So he bribed me.

I was born in 1968 just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.

I think the Iraqi people have shown extraordinary patience and courage in the last few months. They have really put a political system on the way to success to a real democracy here.

A statesman wants courage and a statesman wants vision but believe me after six months' experience he wants first second third and all the time - patience.

I have this desire to just while away weeks months and years. It took me two years to make this record but that was with me trying to condense my process and not disappear down the rabbit hole with all the cool things I've collected. I could take 10 years and not explore everything I want to with these instruments.

Films are really cool because every couple months or however many times you can get a job because there's a lot of luck involved in that you're playing a different character.

Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it and get a new one every six months.

If I was a woman I would be dressed in the same thing for a month and just change my hat and gloves. Maybe my shoes too yes I see what you mean but really it's jewels that change an outfit.

After wrestling with myself for six months I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car but that didn't last.

When I was 15 my parents left town for a month. They hid the keys to the car but I found them. That month I drove my stepdad's Thunderbird Super Coupe into Manhattan every day and I would crank Cypress Hill as I flew around the city racing the taxis.

I have a new little stray dog that I've had for about a month now. His name is Mikey Mohawk - he's this little terrier with a natural Mohawk. My friend found him hit by a car on Pico Boulevard.

I would like you all to give me a round of applause as I have not crashed my car in over 15 months.

You have to wait six months to purchase a fuel efficient automobile made from overseas.

If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.

A couple of months ago I was down in Florida for the Food and Wine Festival. And this journalist grabbed me and said 'How does it feel to be a TV guy? You're no longer in the restaurant business.' And I laughed. I asked him 'How long do you think it takes me to do a season?' He said 'Well 200 days.' And I was like '200 days? Try 20!'

When I started my last business I didn't receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can't handle that pressure.

You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.
