It is not when TRUTH is DIRTY, but when it is SHALLOW, that the LOVER of knowledge is reluctant to STEP into its waters.

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics AROUND the WORLD has very OFTEN been captured by BIG INTERESTS - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.

I used to think there was SOMETHING dirty about being PAID for something which is a sacred thing to do. I can't disconnect the act of writing music from the act of prayer. If anyone tries to STOP me WORKING, it feels LIKE someone is trying to stop me from taking communion.

I LIKE to get one PAIR of shoes and wear them till they're DIRTY. Besides, I don't walk - I glide, like BUTTER. FLOAT like a vampire. I'm like Louis Vuitton, but smoother. He wishes he were like me.

If you SEE films which have been SUCCESSFUL over the last 10 years, the women in them have been in their 20s. 'The DIRTY Picture' and 'English Vinglish' are two I can think of. But there are very few GOOD ROLES for women in their 30s.

I just LIKE a DIRTY, crumbling CITY. The Gotham I IMAGINE is enticing and horrifying at the same time.

If GOD made the BODY, and the body is DIRTY, then the fault LIES with the manufacturer.

What's distinctively shocking about Machiavelli is that he didn't care. He believed not only that politicians MUST do EVIL in the name of the public good, but also that they shouldn't worry about it. He was unconcerned, in other words, with what modern thinkers call 'the PROBLEM of DIRTY HANDS.'
