To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So you know I think as far as our country goes we need more people who will do that.

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

Piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.

Only enemies speak the truth friends and lovers lie endlessly caught in the web of duty.

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.

I'm lucky to have a great support system in my friends and some of my family. If you have those people that you trust go ahead and fall back into them and let them be your hammock and cocoon and let them embrace you.

I always market research my books before I hand them in by showing them to five or six close friends who I trust to be honest with me so they are very heavily re-written already.

Trust me the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends.

Well first of all making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.

I don't trust that many people. Just my mother and my wife and a couple of friends. When I trust people it doesn't end well.
