• Empecé fregando suelos, sirviendo mesas y atendiendo el bar en la taberna de mi padre. Me pagué los estudios con trabajos esporádicos y turnos de noche. Me volqué en cuerpo y alma en un pequeño negocio. Y cuando vi lo alejado que estaba Washington de los valores fundamentales de esta gran nación, me presenté a las elecciones.

• Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply. Prostitution testifies to the amoral power struggle of sex, which religion has never been able to stop. Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.

• And an unstable childhood makes you appreciate calmness and not crave excitement. To spend a Saturday afternoon mopping your kitchen floor while listening to opera on the radio, and to go that night to an Indian restaurant with a friend and be home by nine o'clock - these are enough. They are gifts.

• I have far more enthusiasm in life than I have actual energy. In my excitement, I routinely take on more that I can physically or emotionally handle, which causes me to break down in quite predictable displays of dramatic exhaustion. You will be the one burdened with the job of mopping me up every time I've overextended myself and then fallen apart. This will be unbelievably tedious. I apologize in advance.

• It is, in the imagination of combat's fans, the divinely listless loveplay that follows the orgasm of victory. It is called 'mopping up.

• When, you know, I'm busy and Nancy Pelosi is busy with our mop cleaning up somebody else's mess –- we don't want somebody sitting back saying, you're not holding the mop the right way. Why don't you grab a mop, why don't you help clean up. You're not mopping fast enough. That's a socialist mop. Grab a mop –- let's get to work.

• If I had been literate, I wouldn't have sold drugs. I just wanted a job. I would have worked at McDonald's. And I would have put the same effort into the fries and mopping the floor that I would have put into drugs. I'm the kind of person that always wants to do a job the best I can. I don't believe in half-doing jobs.

• He fregado el suelo con mi peloLa razón por la que me interesa tanto llevar mi cuerpo a esos lugares extremos es que es un lugar donde aprendo, donde me siento más en mi cuerpo. Me interesa mucho la repetición, la disciplina y lo que me ocurre psicológicamente cuando pongo mi cuerpo en ese lugar extremo.

• I did spend about 5 years in the Griffin Theatre Company in 1978 actually , and worked therefore about 5 years on a voluntary basis. This was very much as a amateur, doing things like mopping the floor, handling props, setting up scenery, etc. I never acted, and don't think I'm an actor, but those years in the theatre taught me a lot about professional theatre.

• Un pesimista sólo ve el lado oscuro de las nubes y se abate; un filósofo ve ambos lados y se encoge de hombros; un optimista no ve las nubes en absoluto: camina sobre ellas.

• Los laicistas decididos consideran que se trata de incoherencias residuales que aún no han llegado a extirpar y por las que quizá no merezca la pena preocuparse... Desde la perspectiva laicista, es posible que las batallas esenciales se hayan ganado y que un exceso de celo a la hora de presionar para que se lleve a cabo una operación de limpieza final sólo sirva para excitar aún más la hostilidad pública.
