• Americanomics works, and I won't argue that is true.
  But if the economy is getting better, getting better for who?
  Well, if you ask me, I'm doing much worse than before,
  With the welfare cuts, I don't eat no more.
  So if I did wanna go out, I couldn't go nowhere,
  Cause I ate every last one of them reindeer.
  Rudolph first, I went down the list,
  I got so hungry, I just couldn't resist.
  I ate Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Dixon,
  Fried them up and then started to mix them.
  And before you knew it, they were all gone,
  I wonder what y'all gonna do about my reindeer song!

• I think re-engineering or restructuring or downsizing or rightsizing or whatever you want to call it, it's basically firing, has gone way too far. Employees, as I've talked to them across the country, feel that they are not respected, they are not valued, they are worried about their jobs. They simply feel that the company is no longer loyal to them. Why should they be loyal to the company, they ask me. Why should I go the extra mile? Why should I care?

• Oh, she's my bodyguard. I mean, I'm a married man, and the last thing you need in that situation is to be considered a sexy individual. But I try to never let this whole McDreamy thing really influence us. I'm trying to just have a calm family life, to make my marriage work. It's not as if when my wife asks me to take out the trash, I say, 'Um, honey, don't you realize that I'm too sexy for that'? Well, actually, I do, but she gives me crap for it.

• I can't have discussions about it anymore, I just can't. When someone asks me if I've found Jesus, I say, 'Yeah, I saw him at a Nirvana concert a couple of years ago.' It's like, Jesus has got things to do, he's got a ten o'clock. He's not going to fix things for me, I have to fix things for myself, so I try and have a sense of humor about it and nobody finds my humor very amusing. We've just got to lighten up on the savior bit, folks. You know, get off the cross, we need the wood.
