From The House of Yes:

Boy, it’s been a long day.

Not as long as yesterday! Yesterday was 24 hours.

I meant with traveling and all.

It’s no easier staying in one place. Take it from one who knows.

Are you being wise? I think you’re being wise.

I knew it would happen that one day I’d just wake up wise.

One day I woke up stupid.

You did?

It was terrible.

What did you do?

I went back to sleep.

That was wise!

I have respect for all races, but I'm very glad that I was born white. As a woman, it's the best race to be. Especially if you want to become an actress, like I do. If I weren't white, then the next thing I'd wanna be is Asian; a lot of men like Asian girls because they think they're docile and sweet and subservient which I don't really think is true because I once met this Asian girl at summer camp and she was a real bitch. If I couldn't be white and I also couldn't be Asian, then my third choice would be African-American because I've always wanted to be a gospel singer and black men are more forgiving if your butt gets big. Except I'd definitely want light skin and Caucasian features... Like Vanessa Williams... or Halle Berry. And finally, you know, no offense or anything, but my very last choice would be an Arab. I mean, truth be told, you're not in a very enviable position. There's a lot of resentment in this country toward the Middle East and a lot of stereotypes floating around which I don't really think are true because in the short time that I've known you, you haven't tried to bomb anybody, and you currently smell okay to me. But people will laugh at you. And probably make fun of that thing you wear on your head. I know. People are ignorant. To give you an example, there's this joke going around: 'How does an Arab get his wife pregnant..? She gets naked and lies down on the bed, he jerks off on the wall, and then they let the flies do the rest.’ No. Don't laugh. It's insulting to your people.

(But I am young; and I am young, and strong, and in good health; and I am young, and pretty to look at; and I am too young to worry; and so am I, for my mother is kind to me; and we run in the bright air like animals, and our bare feet like plants in the wholesome earth; the natural world is around us like a lake and a wide smile and we are growing: one by one we are becoming stronger, and one by one in the terrible emptiness and the leisure we shall burn and tremble and shake with lust, and one by one we shall loosen ourselves from this place, and shall be married, and it will be different from what we see, for we will be happy and love each other, and keep the house clean, and a good garden, and buy a cultivator, and use a high grade of fertilizer, and we will know how to do things right; it will be very different: ) (?: )

I watched the movie "The Opposite of Sex" solely based on reading the "Quotes" section on imdb.com. Still one of my favorite movies.

There was a musical version of "The Opposite of Sex" with David Burtka (NPH's husband). I saw it at Williamstown, Massachusetts.

 

Sadly, David did not take off all his clothes.

"We got a special tonight. Pretty blue eyes drink two for one."

 

Clue: Gay character played by a beautiful straight dude. He didn't have a fatal attraction. But he was the ultimate sweet, innocent boy destined for a broken heart.

 

Boy I wish I grew up the second

I first held you in my arms

 

@E.T.Bass this one should be easy:

“I would love to be gay. I’ll tell you why — because I’m a man’s man. I like men, men like me, we like each other. I hate women, women hate me, we hate each other. The only reason I couldn’t be gay is, because I could never fuck a man. Because I could never fuck something that I respect.” -Jim Jefferies

"People can be such hypocrites when it comes to porn. They shun it and condemn it, they look down on anyone connected to the industry, and then they go home and masturbate to it. It drives me crazy."

~
Howard Roffman

 

There is a very nice piece about him in the MetroSource Magazine which you can pick up on the gay magazine racks or read on line at the link. You'll be glad you did.

She should have died hereafter;

There would have been a time for such a word.

— To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury

Signifying nothing.

 

 

— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
