David Hyde Pierce

I wouldn't pretend to tell you we don't pay our lawyers well.
Jay Alan Sekulow

J. Milton Hayes

I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why, but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly.

Casey Abrams

I'm an awful driver. I'm not going to lie about it. I'm not a good driver. I tried for a long time to pretend that I was. There's a lot of road rage and a lot of times it's directed at something I've done on the road.

If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant.

Ron Paul

Colin Hay
