“I am surprised nothing has been made of the fact that astronaut Neil Armstrong carried no sidearms when he landed on the moon”
Arthur J. Goldberg
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
“This is by far better than when (former quarterback Neil) O'Donnell took them to the Super Bowl (in 1995). This year they had to work hard for it.”
Robert Kollar
“Oh no, they're not getting that one. Once he leaves Penn Hills, that counts for West Virginia. Tell Neil he can't have that one [this week].”
Art Walker
“I don't worry about it, ... I just worked with Neil Jordan on 'Breakfast On Pluto,' where I play an Irish transvestite singer in a London cabaret.'”
Cillian Murphy
“I wanted two solid months of Neil Young, but he told me it was, quote, 'getting creepy,' ”
Conan O'Brien
“You stay in contact with the (former Rangers GM) Neil Smiths, ... because those guys could resurface. If someone decides to put a team in Honolulu, you want to be able to say 'Neil, remember me. I'm the perfect guy to get your pineapple drinks.'”
