## Quotes

"Someone who is born rich has a perfection about them that is unreal. The details...it looks like they have never used anything that they are wearing or holding or carrying."

"Can we stop pretending that passengers can do a damn thing if a plane is crashing or a terrorist is there."

"If you find yourself about to email me, tweet me, facebook me, a correction - like, "I *know* she probably wants this info" - please don't. Any info I need in life, I am a go-getter, I will *get* that info. I don't wanna hear it from you."
