11. "Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding."

12. "You don't luck into integrity. You work at it."

13. "I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much."
