“I'm with him because when I'm with him, I'm free to be me. I'm with him because he's hot. I'm with him because he lets me blather, since I'm prone to blathering, and he lets me rant when I have a bad day.

“I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.”

“I know I told you once that whether God exists or not, we're on our own. But when I'm with you, I'm not.”

“I'm in New York, land of the free and home of the brave, but I'm supposed to behave as if I were in Limerick at all times.”
