I think that the film Clueless was very deep; I think it was deep in the way that it was very light; I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness.

If I felt guilty I’d call this a guilty pleasure but since I don’t I’ll just call it trash I enjoy. So if you decide to go don't complain to me that the film was crap. I warned you.

Ann Romney talking about middle class moms is like Chris Christie talking about a salad.

The French are funny, sex is funny, and comedies are funny… yet no French sex comedies are funny.

Imagine a terrible TV sitcom stretched, horribly and inexplicably, to 90 minutes, and you’ve got the general idea of The Big Wedding.

Just the omission of Jane Austen’s books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn’t a book in it.

It was W. C. Fields who hated to appear in the same scene with a child, a dog, or a plunging neckline – because nobody in the audience would be looking at him. Jennifer Aniston has the same problem in this movie even when she’s in scenes all by herself.
