Deana Carter
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.

It's like Branson. When I went to Branson there was only 4 acts in there. Now, you can't count 'em. There's so many theatres now, that only the strong will survive.
Mickey Gilley
I think that every show on television has its place. I think Married With Children or, I don't know, The Nanny... some people want to go home, turn on the TV and be able to iron their clothes or grab a sandwich. Come out and catch a joke and not have to follow the story.
Peter Krause
The only thing that white people have that black people need, or should want, is power-and no one holds power forever.
