“The love of their country is with them only a mode of flattering its master; as soon as they think that master can no longer hear, they speak of everything with a frankness which is the more startling because those who listen to it become responsible.”

“The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation.”

“What annoyances are more painful than those of which we cannot complain?”

“I'm hoping to bring some raunchy, risky, soulful frankness to the stage, really.”

“I think young people respond much better to openness and frankness and practical stuff than speeches.”

“My frankness has got me into a lot of trouble. I try to temper it down now. As you get older, you get wiser.”
