I call a fig a fig, a spade a spade.

I've always slightly preferred Spade to Marlowe, probably just because I thought Hammett was cooler than Chandler. He was leftwing, his name shortened to Dash rather than Ray, and he didn't smoke a pipe or like cats.

When wearing a trench coat, you're allowed to act like Humphrey Bogart when he was detective Sam Spade.

I don't have contempt for Tiger Woods.

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.

Doesn't matter what you say or do; people can always find a way to call you a dick.

I don't play boxing.
