  • « Why don't you get out of that wet coat and into a dry martini? »
    Robert Benchley
  • « When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses. »
