Quotes
“The TV business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs... There's also a negative side.”
Chili

I’m thinking about producing.
Tommy

“The only people who haven't sold out are those who haven't been asked.”
“There is such a fine line between stupid and clever.”
“Television is democracy at its ugliest.”
“The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle: they're on TV!”
“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”
“It's not whether the glass is half-empty or half-full. It's the wrong size glass.”
“I needed a drink. I needed a lot of life insurance. I needed a vacation. I needed a home in the country. What I had was a hat, a coat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room.”

“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch.

You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”
