You can't take anything like that too seriously, otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.
~By Cameron Diaz ~

~By Victoria de los Angeles ~
Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.
~By Bob Kane ~
People care about my personal life. But really I'm dorky! I drink beer and go to football games. And ya know, sit in my house in a t-shirt on the weekends and play with my dog!

~By Michael Connelly ~
The price I have personally paid for these extra Sisyphean years has been prohibitive.
~By Caryl Chessman ~
