Alcohol removes inhibitions - like that scared little mouse who got drunk and shook his whiskers and shouted: "Now bring on that damn cat!"
Eleanor Early
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.
Winston Churchill
I remember just sort of thinking I`m not going to get to do this too, too often, so I just went crazy and threw alcohol around. I was acting ridiculous and screaming at everybody and throwing a fit. (about her performance in the Weezer`s video)
Elisha Cuthbert
The signal we ought to send to our children is that in spite of what happened in the `60s and `70s, we have learned some lessons. And the lessons ought to be: don`t be using drugs and alcohol.
George W. Bush
This might be the last thing anybody would see, but I`m probably shy. I`ve never gone to a party where I didn`t drink alcohol. I have a great time, but I`m not comfortable. My straight nature is not very social. That doesn`t mean I haven`t caught myself b...
Sean Penn
The alcohol was awful. I was a terrible alcoholic. I mean, people used to ask how much drugs I did. I said, `I only do drugs so I can drink more`. I was doing the coke so I could drink more. I mean, I don`t know any other reason. I`d start drinking in the...
Dennis Hopper
I nearly died, which is about as bad as you can get. I`m totally convinced that drugs and alcohol brought me very close to death two or three times, and it`s more luck than anything else that I`m still alive. My spirit was dying and I believe when your sp...
Charlie Sheen
[On her The Night of the Iguana (1964) co-star Richard Burton] Richard Burton drank so much at night that the next morning the alcohol literally oozed out of his pores. He gave off a terrible odor-playing a scene with him could be most unpleasant.
Sue Lyon
[on the dismissal of his KISS band-mates Peter Criss and Ace Frehley in the early 1980s] They were let go for being into alcohol and worse drugs, pure and simple. I love both those guys to death. But I didn`t want them to die on tour.
Gene Simmons
Alcohol helped. I`d do my thing for about 30 minutes, pretty much just one scene, and then the producers would cut me a check. In 30 minutes I was $15,000 richer. The money was great, but it was starting to wear on me, wear on my conscience. To be honest,...
Jaimee Foxworth
On leaving George Harrison for Eric Clapton in 1974: "In my naivety, I believed everything was all right. He wasn`t taking heroin, which I thought was the main addiction for him. But, as it turned out, his drug of choice turned out to be alcohol."
Pattie Boyd
We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I`d go out and have a couple of drinks, too - about President George W. Bush`s daughters being caught with alcohol as minors.
Julia Roberts
[on W.C. Fields] He was an isolated person. As a young man, he stretched out his hand to Beauty and Love and they thrust it away. Gradually he reduced reality to exclude all but his work, filling the gaps with alcohol. He was also a solitary person. Years...
Louise Brooks
I`ve seen my whole family struggle, with money, with relationships, with alcohol, and I thought there must be a better way. As you mature, you realize you don`t choose your parents. It`s not your fault what they do and you should not be ashamed.
Kellie Pickler
I like what Norman Mailer said about alcohol: `Drink has killed a lot of my brain cells and I think I would have been a better writer without it, but it would be one less way to relax.`
Al Pacino
Women are my drugs and alcohol. When I`m involved with one woman, I`m involved with one woman. Period. But between romances, I am carnivorous.
Burt Reynolds
