Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

How do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

I’ll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I’ll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don’t think those things are right for me.

Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.

One way to make sure crime doesn’t pay would be to let the government run it.

The great thieves lead away the little thief.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

I have quite a decent constitution in spite of all my abuse of it and my advanced years. I’m still quite robust.

I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.

All the time, I’ve felt that life is a wager and that I probably was getting more out of leading a bohemian existence as a writer than I would have if I didn’t.

I’m very much a creature of habit.

Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue.

As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m concerned about the recklessness of public policy that endangers people’s lives, especially in minority communities, where crime often is such a scourge.

Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.

If McLaren give me a car, that’s fine, but I don’t tend to buy fancy stuff anyway or super-nice clothes.

Music is really driving my whole life.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

My concern is that contention is becoming accepted as a way of life.

Extemporaneous speaking should be practiced and cultivated. It is the lawyer’s avenue to the public. However able and faithful he may be in other respects, people are slow to bring him business if he cannot make a speech.

You have freedom when you’re easy in your harness.

The newspapers of the twenty-first century will give a mere ‚stick‘ in the back pages to accounts of crime or political controversies, but will headline on the front pages the proclamation of a new scientific hypothesis.

I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts.

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague.

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

Not a law firm in the entire city of New York bid for my employment as a lawyer when I earned my degree.

Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.

Never get out of bed before noon.

I’m at peace with what I’m doing, I feel good with what I wake up doing and about my lifestyle.

I’m filthy rich!

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

Everybody will make mistakes, and for some that mistake will rise to the level of being a crime.

I love being in a courtroom.

You don’t have to turn on the TV set. You don’t have to work on the Internet. It’s up to you.

Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance.

Principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living.

How fortunate I was to be alive and a lawyer when, for the first time in United States history, it became possible to urge, successfully, before legislatures and courts, the equal-citizenship stature of women and men as a fundamental constitutional principle.

In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

One of the things people don’t really recognise about the similarities between country and hip-hop is that they’re celebrations of pride in a lifestyle.

I’m generous. I give good tips. It’s just – the way I live my life, ironically enough, is: I don’t want anything. I’m not a consumer. I don’t crave objects.

I think I should learn French and be a better cook – basic, really good life stuff.

As soon as you set foot on a yacht you belong to some man, not to yourself, and you die of boredom.

That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!

I don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don’t want people to think that ‚Let’s Move‘ is about complete, utter deprivation. It’s about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

I strongly believe that for serious and violent criminals, we must absolutely hold them accountable for their crimes and send them to prison.

I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.

I really miss having a routine because now I’ve been on the road constantly for several months. I like routines, so it would be nice to get those routines back.

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.
