I got me a hit record and I ain't never made a cent from it.

As someone who came to New York in the 1970s, I was, like so many of my friends, a certified member of what we now call the 99 percent - and I was a lot closer to the bottom than to the top of that 99 percent. At some point during the intervening years, I moved into the 1 percent.

When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It's part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center.

I am for 100 per cent Americanism, 100 per cent efficiency, and 100 per cent life. I expect to live to be 100 years old.

Ironically, if you look at Dianne Feinstein's profile and you look at my profile, I'm the 99 percent. Dianne Feinstein's the one percent. She appeals to one percent.

I'll make the right decision, whichever one it is. I have to be 100 percent, not 95 or 99.

Cents are the most universally used interval measure.

Everybody I've ever worked with - 99.9 percent of the time, I've had a successful or very agreeable experience with.

When I said I didn't have a cent, I didn't. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars.
