“You know, when I started I liked Big Macs and Budweiser and I still like Big Macs and Budweiser.”

“I've got friends who didn't vote. I want to smack them upside the head.”

“But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining!”
