Only a rat can win a rat race.
The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
Everybody in America is so money-hungry. It's like a rat race and even when you win you're still a freaking rat.
Don't ever forget the words on a postcard that my father sent me last year: "If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
People sometimes forget that a rat race can be won only by a rat.
The great disadvantage of being in a rat race is that it is humiliating. The competitors in a rat race are by definition rodents.
It may be that you will be happiest in the rat race; perhaps, like me, you are basically a rat.
Just because it's a rat race doesn't mean it's okay to be a rat.

People say never work with children and animals. I actually like working with Oliver Bell, and working with a rat really opens possibilities to you because you don't know how it's going to be. It's just a rat, so you can just react to this rat being a rat, if that makes sense.

And then try again.
A lot of people live with no apparent means of support. I kind of envy the musicians up there. You're down here, busting your ass in Hollywood, and it's like Lily Tomlin's joke about the rat race - all you prove in the end is that you're a rat.
Like my boy tells me; if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, by golly, it is a rat.
It is one thing to decry the rat race...that is the good and honorable work of moralists. It is quite another thing to quit the rat race, to drop out, to refuse to run any further--that is the work of the individualist. It is offensive because it is impolite it makes the rebuke personal the individualist calls not his or her behavior into question, but mine.
We all love the environment, but we have placed creatures above people. A rat is a rat.
