Favorite Book Quotes
"They [biting kisses] were becoming sharper and more insistent. Alexia found that she liked the idea of maybe a bite or two. As if in
response to that thought, Lord Maccon sank his human - due to their shockingly informal embrace and the fact that she was a preternatural - teeth into the
place where her neck and shoulder joined.
It sent tingling shocks through Alexia's entire body -- a most delightful sensation, better than hot tea on a cold morning. She moaned and rubbed herself
up against him, enjoying his big werewolf-sized body, pushing her neck against his mouth.
Someone cleared his throat delicately.
Lord Maccon bit down harder."
~ Gail Carriger, Soulless
"As though her family were not watching, he [Maccon] touched the side of her face, stroking the cheek her mother had hit. 'I understand that you have
been taught for far too long that you are unworthy.'
Miss Tarabotti felt inexplicably like crying. She turned her face away from his caress.
He let his arm drop. Clearly, the damage done could not be mended with a few words from him in the space of one disastrous morning."
~ Gail Carriger, Soulless
"Despite the indignity, Miss Tarabotti soon found herself curled up on the couch, head pillowed on Lord Maccon's hard thigh, snoring softly.
The earl, issuing orders and signing forms, stroked her hair with one hand, in defiance of Biffy's protestations that this would mess up her new
hairdo."
~ Gail Carriger, Soulless
"He'd had chesticles for pity's sake, big man boobs. Hell, the guy probably had more estrogen than she did."
~ Rhonda Nelson, The Maverick
"When in doubt, do the right thing."
~ Rhonda Nelson, The Maverick
~ Carl Hiaasen, Sick Puppy
Favorite TV or Movie Quotes
"What the pf#ck!?"
- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, 10/20/08
"Gosh, we [Big Cities] don't do any of that stuff [re: small towns serving and dying for their country in times of war]. We just spend our days ja#$ing off onto religious paraphernalia. I guess if you're from New York City and you signed up to fight in Iraq and died... I guess it doesn't count."
- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, 10/20/08
"Then there's fake Virgina. Where evil shadow versions of Virginians dance amongst the charred remains of the righteous -- their eerie cries mocking all that is decent and just. Nay! This Virginia is not for lovers!"
- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, 10/20/08
"You know... the third crazy lady's right."
- Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, 10/20/08
"Oh! I'm such an idiot! You're not sponsored by Starbucks. You're 'sponsored' by 'Starbucks.' You're not a sell out, you're a 'sell-out.' Sarcasm. I get it now. See, at the time, I thought your joking manner was just the way you were sublimating your shame over the discomfort you feel deep in your soul after extinguishing the last smoldering embers of any of your program's lingering bona fides... but realize that that wasn't the case. Psheeeeew! I was wrong because I don't get sarcasm! Truth is, by overpraising the coffee, you were really saying, 'This tastes like BLEEEEEP!' Did the CEO of Starbucks pick up on that during your indepth interview with him? In his face! 'Love your coffee! Thanks for the sponsorship money! I'll wipe my ass with it!'"
- Jon Stewart [responding to MSNBC/Jim Scarborough's response to Stewart's comments on MSNBC/Starbuck sponsorship], The Daily Show - 06/08/09
"Just another politician with a conservative brain and a liberal penis."
- Jon Stewart [on the revelation that So. Carolina's Gov. Mark Sanford was having an affair], The Daily Show, 6/24/09
THE COLBERT REPORT with Stephen Colbert
"That's why I had to fake my own death to get out of my endorsement deal with Good-on-Ya Australian cologne: "Splash It 'Down Under'"... I was starting to attract dingoes."
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 1/7/09
"Crank up the crazy and rip off the knob!"
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 3/4/09
"But these days, you only hear gushing praise and shameless groveling like that right after someone pissed off Rush. Which is why I'm issuing a theoretical wag of my finger to Shawn Hannity for whatever he must have said about Rush Limbaugh. I mean, to warrant obsequious crack-licking like that... he must have said something terrible. I mean, something like 'The vaccuum in Republican leadership has allowed a mean-spirited, lard assed, talk radio mind corpse to become de facto leader, which is turning an already crippled party into a bickering laughing stock.' Hypothetical 'Shame on you, Hannity!' Wrrrrrrroooong!"
- Stephen Colbert (on Shawn Hannity's Rush Gush), The Colbert Report, 3/6/09
"I'm no fan of tennis. If I wanted to see men in short shorts running around hitting balls with a paddle, I'd go on the internet."
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 6/24/09
"Twitter went down today! If only there were some short, shallow, self-indulgent way to express my horror."
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 8/6/09
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
- Arne Duncan, Secretary of Eduction [on Obama's proposal to extend school hours & year]. The Colbert Report, 10/5/09
[Commenting on Miley Cyrus deleting her twitter acount]. Folks, this is a twagedy"
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 10/13/09
"In fact, last week an international poll was released that showed that thanks to Obama, America is now the most popular country in the world. Either that, or they're just setting us up to pour pig's blood on us."
- Stephn Colbert, The Colbert Report, 10/12/09
"Fjord. Fjord!? Who puts a J after an F? Well, I would like to say to Norwegians that you can all just go fjuck yourselves."
- Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report, 10/12/09
CRAIG FERGUSON with Craig Ferguson
"I love giving hugs. ...To kittens."
- Craig Ferguson, Craig Ferguson, September 2009
"I think we're raising apathy to a new height."
- Craig Ferguson, Craig Ferguson, September 2009
"It's like a Daytime Emmy: Nobody really cares, but it's... something."
- Drew Carey, Craig Ferguson, September 2009
"I felt it was hypocritical to have rules given when we were on heroin. But I guess even junkies have their conventions. I never shot smack -- thank God -- just snorted the fumes from a burning line laid out on some tin foil -- a procedure known as 'chasing the dragon' in the ridiculously melodramatic vinacular of opiot lovers. Even recovered junkies often refer to themselves as 'dope fiends' as if using heroin made you scarier and more out there than a black out drunk. Addicts can be very competative about their excess."
- Reba McEntire reading an excerpt from Craig Ferguson's biography "American On Purpose," Craig Ferguson, September 22, 2009
[as audience hoots and claps]
"All right now. You ruined it. You ruined it now. You ruined it. you ruined it. You went on too long and now it just seems phony. If you'd let it go about 30 seconds, I'm like 'Oh, maybe they do like me!' But you kept going and it went past sort of 'oh yes, I can believe it' to 'all right, all right, all right.' And then it kept going and it just sounded sarcastic.
- Craig Ferguson, Craig Ferguson, September 28, 2009

- Sam Axe, Burn Notice
"Why don't you run interference for me? Please, Fi. Come on. Make one of those scenes for me. Bite one of them and set the other one on fire."
- Michael Weston, Burn Notice (Pilot)

- Mike to Fiona, Burn Notice, 2/29/09
"Detective Paxton and Detective forget-your-name..."
- Michael to the cops when they approach, Burn Notice, 6/11/09
"Was she flirting... or does she hate you?"
- Fiona to Michael, Burn Notice, 6/11/09
"...I want you to try something. It's a relaxation exercise I do in situations like this. I want you to close your eyes and breathe deep. Picture a peaceful mountain stream. Can you do that? Picture yourself.... drowning the kidnapper in the stream. You're taking a rock from the stream and raising it above your head..."
"Fi."
"and with tremendous force you're bringing --"

- Sam Axe, Burn Notice, 8/6/09
"Look at the Magic Man."
Strickler to Michael, Burn Notice, 8/6/09
LEVERAGE (TNT)
"Is she injured... in the head?"
- Parker, Leverage, 12/07/08
"Look, flying isn't really all that scary when you think about it. I mean, there are a lot more likely ways to die than on a plane: car crash, house fire, electrocution, drowning, auto-erotic asphysiation... I mean, fact is, death haunts us every day, no matter where we are."
- Parker, Leverage, 1/20/09
"She's dressed that way cause she's doing a con."
"What, you thought she was dressed like that for no reason?"

"We went for breakfast... in Canada. We made a deal. If she'd stop hookin', I'd stop shooting people. ... Maybe we were aiming high."
- Porter, Payback

Q: Soap opera fans are notoriously vocal. How much of their opinions and comments do you take into account when forming storylines?
JFP: It depends -- we certainly pay attention to what the fans say. There was once an old-timer in the business who said, "If they're mad, that's good, they're watching." Sometimes you have to take into account that the thing that people say they don't like, is the same thing that's keeping them glued to the set.
