Quotes

Brad McCullum: I mean I'm not going to take your vitamin pills, I'm not going to drink your herbal tea, I'm not going to the sweat lodge with a hundred-and-eight year-old Native American who reads Hustler magazines and smokes cool cigarettes. I'm not going to discover my boundaries; I am going to stunt my inner growth and I think I shall become a Muslim-call me Faruch.
