I can spin a yarn better than anyone.....

About Me

"I'm not dead, and I'm not for sale."
"And when we walk away, there'll be no comin' home."
"She haunts the roads, she waits for a new face. The arms red and injured. She wants to rise, she can't 'til we have faced."
"I'd like to thank God for making me special"
"She was a happy girl the day that she left me"
"Wait 'til I get my money right........."
"Fuck up my dreams--somebody gonna die tonight"
"In the darkest hole, you'd be well-advised not to plan my funeral before the body dies...."
That's all I need to say really.
QUOTES
"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster." - Ray Liotta as Henry Hill "Goodfellas"
"Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut."-Robert DeNiro as Jimmy Conway "Goodfellas"
"A guy once told me, 'Do not have any attachments. Do not have anything in your life you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner.'"-Robert DeNiro as Neil McCauley "Heat"
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist." - Kevin Spacey as Verbal Kint "The Usual Suspects"
"I'm waiting for the sun to shine."-Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle "Taxi Driver"
"All I am is what I'm going after."-Al Pacino as Vincent Hanna "Heat"
"I'm the hand up Mona Lisa's skirt. I'm a surprise."-Al Pacino as John Milton "The Devil's Advocate"
"Anyone could become obsessed with the past with a background like that!"-Jimmy Stewart as Scottie Ferguson "Vertigo"
"Let me explain something to you, Walsh. This business requires a certain amount of finesse."-Jack Nicholson as Jake Gittes "Chinatown"
"I want to be like Cain on Kung Fu...you know...roam the earth, meet people, get in adventures."-Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winfield "Pulp Fiction"
"Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas..."-Dennis Hopper as The Photojournalist "Apocalypse Now"
"That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter. Great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start. The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool."- Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Lester Bangs "Almost Famous"
"In this big game that we play, life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve, it's what you take."-Tom Cruise as Frank T.J. Mackey "Magnolia"
"No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!"-Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito "Goodfellas"
"Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!"-George Clooney as Seth "From Dusk Til Dawn"
"A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."-Christopher Walken as Rayburn "Man on Fire"
"Fuck you. That's my name. You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. *That's* my name."-Alec Baldwin as Blake "Glengarry Glen Ross"
"You don't pay taxes. They take taxes."-Chris Rock
"I love and treasure individuals as I meet them; I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to."-George Carlin
"He had a style that nobody else had, and I think when you're separate from the rest, it makes you kind of special."-Don Rickles
“I didn't go to the Lakers game because they were playing the fucking Bobcats... And I came here today because I thought this was a session on how my wife could learn to communicate, how to answer a question without a question, basic Humanity 101, which I thought, given your wall of fucking diplomas, you could easily fix, or if you couldn't, you could give her a pill that would either fix it or make her a mute. But now, to turn around and gang up on me? I have work to do. I have hundreds of clients to deal with, and just so we're clear, I don't care about ANY OF THEM. They're ALL just a number, like Wife #1 and Therapist #7... GOOD DAY!”-Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold “Entourage”
"The best part of 'believe' is the 'lie'"
