Shirley MacLaine

I was so appalled. They were kind of waiting for Terry to walk out and perhaps take a poop or something, because she's famous herself, and what would I do about the poop? And would they make me mad? Because the whole point is, they want to make you mad, and then they get a good picture.

Paul Slavin

And then we tried to communicate with him. Our biggest thing was we gave him enough responsibility on the court that he was able to perform, yet still improve.

Jim Hopson

William Daley

We've asked the lawyers to work overnight to draft some documents, and we'll be back in the morning.
