Whenever I watch TV and I see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I would love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff. - Mariah Carey, Pop Singer

I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys!'
When after all, it was you and me.

-M Jagger/K Richards
