People like a woman who drinks her scotch straight. People like a woman who serves milk and cookies. But they don't like a woman who does both (commenting on Hillary Rodham Clinton's image).

For a woman, a drink is like two drinks are for a man, so a woman gets intoxicated more rapidly.

I cannot honestly think of another situation between two government's people that transcends so much goodwill from the common people all the way up to the highest levels of governments' relations with each other, that can be more rewarding than the willingness of one country to return another's son.

People always ask me what advantages fame has started to bring; there are always plenty of free drinks, but other times people want to put stuff in your drink to kill you off. They're going to have to try a lot harder if they want to get me.

People can put things in your food and drinks to sabotage you, like they did to me in Seoul in 1988. I'm not a cheat - I do what I am supposed to do to win.

It's no coincidence that Brick drinks Echo Springs bourbon. All the metaphors point to these broken people trying to heal their broken relationships.
