You owe the American people every penny of your fortune and your family’s fortune.” [Perez Hilton]
  • Years ago, James Toback directed the film Black and White, in which Robert Downey, Jr. hits on Mike Tyson.

I said, ‘I would assume he would.’ He said, ‘How far do you want me to take it?’ I said, ‘Take it until he responds in the extreme.’ Downey responded, ‘What if he kills me?’ I said, ‘Well, I haven’t thought about that. I think it’s unlikely-no better than a 5% chance.’ But, at the rate you’re going, you’re going to end up dying in the parking lot of a motel in Culver City. So what would be better … that or dying like this?”” [Black Book]
