the attempt to make the consumption of beer criminal is as silly and as futile as if you passed a law to send a man to jail for eating cucumber salad
Stephen Leacock
I`m very fortunate in that I like people or I`d probably be in jail right now. It takes more time explaining why you can`t give an autograph, which is usually bullshit, than to just do it. I like to sign autographs of pictures because you`re giving people...
Charlie Sheen
It takes some kind of fortitude for someone like my mom to single-handedly raise five children, get them through college, and keep them out of jail.
Benjamin Bratt
I`ve smoked ten marijuana cigarettes in my life. And they`ve given me a sore throat, a headache, and made me sleepy. I can`t understand why anyone would wanna use the stuff. It seems such an impractical pastime as you can get sent to jail for it
Frank Zappa
The time came for me to retire because of my rather unfortunate last movie . . . The cost to me in terms of frustration and avoiding going to jail for murder cannot have continued.
Whenever I`ve tangled with a beautiful spy, have you noticed what invar...
Sean Connery
[on her short-lived experience in jail while awaiting relocation to detox] I just felt uncomfortable. I wasn`t really scared until I started walking down the hall. I started to think, "What if a girl tries to rape me, or what if someone tries to bully me ...
Lisa Lopes
I was so broke, I didn`t even have car insurance at the time. My mom was forging my car insurance so I could get this job. I was like, `I am so going to jail.` You do what you gotta do.
Jonathan Sadowski
When Mitchum, who served time for marijuana possission, was asked what it was like in jail, he replied, "It`s like Palm Springs without the riff-raff."
Robert Mitchum
[regarding his ten-day jail term after his arrest for cannabis possession at Tokyo`s Narita Airport, Jan. 6, 1980] "It was pretty rough. Just a thin mattress on the floor. I had to wash using water from the toilet cistern. I had to share a bath with a blo...
Paul McCartney
I can finish an Ironman, I can take 5 days in jail for civil disobedience, I can shoot in the toughest conditions imaginable, but I cannot seem to resist chocolate at 10pm.
Alexandra Paul
The goal of the government was to get all the leaders of the Black Panther Party in jail so that they could be killed systematically through prison violence, and that way they could stop what was a very powerful and evolving movement. I don`t think we wou...
James Cromwell
I want to be adopted by the french. I want to go to live in Paris. I want to live in a country where a guy like Gaspar Noé can direct his films without going to jail. I don`t want to live in Italy, the country of the apes, and end up being an actress with...
Asia Argento
When I first heard [Elvis Presley`s] voice I just knew that I wasn`t going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.
Bob Dylan
Contrary to popular belief, I`ve never been to rehab. I`ve never been to jail, never been arrested. All the child-star clichés. I`ve tried very hard to avoid them all.
Macaulay Culkin
I haven`t taken an overdose of sleeping pills and called my agent. I haven`t been in jail, and I don`t go running to the psychiatrist every two minutes. That`s something of an accomplishment these days.
Ava Gardner
I`ve done Hamlet, and no one talks about Hamlet killing five people. No one even talks about sending him to jail. And it`s the same thing for a character like Abruzzi. I think people root for him because he`s just punishing people who are bad humans in a ...
Peter Stormare
[on playing Kendall Hart on "All My Children" (1970):] "I seduced my stepfather, and when he wouldn`t sleep with me, I slept with the stable boy, cried rape, and my mother stabbed him with a letter opener. Then I went to jail for perjury, burned my parent...
Sarah Gellar
When we took over we had maybe 85 officers on duty. It was dangerous. We now have acceptable staffing levels for the number of people we have in the jail.
George Payne
We try to handle everything administratively first. If the non-custodial parent is in jail, no one gets any money. It is important to get the person who isn`t making their payments back on track.
Ron Harris
We need to be able to communicate to our members and gun owners in any given state and to suggest that we can`t do that for risk of being thrown in jail is simply outrageous.
Chris Cox
We have this thinking: This person will eventually come out. Would you rather see that person have training and get required treatment for his problems or have him just leave the jail by giving him $100 and sending him on a bus?
Tom Moore
We had all these things to deal with- houses full of people and John going to jail, guys from New York saying `don`t worry about anything.` So it was really confusing.
