~Robbie Williams

“It’s boring. We walked out after, like, one minute.”
Paris Hilton on The Passion of the Christ (Entertainment Weekly, June 11, 2004)
“I guess it’s more comforting if you think there’s this Santa Claus in the sky who’s waiting to make us happy, or if we haven’t been good, he’s not going to give us any presents. God has no plan.

Dave Matthews (Rolling Stone, January 22, 2004)
