“[While the album, a social commentary about suburban malaise and global misguidance, comes with a parental advisory sticker, Green Day's concerts don't come with a warning about all the F-bombs Armstrong drops between songs. As the father of boys, ages 6 and 10 (who have seen the show, he says), he says that he's well aware of his language and that he uses certain words to make a point.] I don't consider it vulgarity. I think of it more as reality, ... It's up to the parents to be the judge of that.”

He revealed how upset Barbra Streisand was when he deleted two 'political' scenes she thought were central to her character. But only the most courageous will tell tales out of school about recent work because it can come back to haunt them. I know that from personal experience, having participated in a book about [what went wrong with the critically savaged] 'Bonfire of the Vanities.' You're not aware of it — but certain things just don't happen.”
Brian De Palma
“It's an extraordinary commentary on what the Internet can do, ... opening the crossroads around the world for communication between all people.”
David Hayden
“A traditional fixture at Wimbledon is the way the BBC TV commentary box fills up with British players eliminated in the early rounds.”
Clive James
“It's an unfortunate commentary on the willingness of this administration to undermine the Endangered Species Act. Despite its small size this toad needs a lot of land to complete its life cycle.”
