Coming in September 2009: A veritable treasure trove of outlandish statements and shamefully stupid quotes all piled into a single volume.
Here are a just a few:
I’m the Hiroshima of love.
-Sylvester Stallone, American actor (1946-)
[My hair] creates this Tarzanesque, likeable bad-boy image. It says, “I am a wild child. I will take you on a Harley ride, then make passionate love to you. And should you be attacked by a lion or an idiot at a bar, I will protect you.”
-Bret Michaels, lead singer of Poison and reality TV star (1963-)
I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings; and I did it out of spite.
-Vincent Gallo, Italian-American actor, director, and producer (1961-)
Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it’s hard to stop drinking beer.
-Billy Carter, American brewer and brother of U.S. President Jimmy Carter (1937-1988)
I really opened myself up in JCVD. I peeled back the skin of the fruit, cut the pulp and then took that very hard seed. In this film I cut that hard seed, and inside that seed was a kind of liquid cream substance of the man I am, or the woman you are. It was like being naked-I would love to be naked in front of you.
-Jean Claude Van Damme, Belgian martial artist (1960-), to Newsweek’s Sarah Ball in what was supposed to be a formal interview
That’s a wonderful side effect of leather pants: When you pee yourself in them, they’re more forgiving than jeans.
-Slash, English rock star (1965-)
My skin is more beautiful than yours. I would be quite more popular in jail if I so chose.
-Gene Simmons, Israeli-American rock star (1949- ), to NPR talk show host Terry Gross
Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs are unable to practice their love with women all across this country.
-George W. Bush, President of the United States (1946-)
The feathered [hair] cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation. This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement.
-John Mayer, American musician (1977-), on his ’80s haircut
I normally don’t do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn’t talk any more, unless you want to, you know.
-Mike Tyson, American boxer (1966- )
There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me.
-David Hasselhoff, American actor and singer (1952-)

[...] Be creative — If you can’t get your marketing material for your key titles online before conference, or something comes out of left-field, use the resources you do have to find an interesting work-around.

Since when is Slash English? If you’re unsure of something, Google it for chrissakes…
