I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.

John Leguizamo

Sometimes I get frustrated in traffic. I typically start going deep with my cab driver and Twitter feed - simultaneously - to take my mind off the gridlock. I enjoy live-tweeting my cab rides.

Andy Cohen

Being typed is not important. For a while vou are typed as one thing. You get out of that. Then you are typed as something else. You can break away from everything except comedy. It's fatal to be typed as a comedian. You can't get out of that.

Peter Lorre

Just because something is typed-whether it is typed on a business card or typed in a newspaper or book-this does not mean that it is true.

Daniel Handler

I'll tell ya, I don't get no respect... The other day, I got back from a business trip. I got in a cab and said to the driver, "Hey! Take me to where the action is!" So ya know where he took me? He took me to my house!

Rodney Dangerfield

I was the first female cab driver in the city of Pittsburgh.

Frances Arnold

You know, before I would think, my cab driver hates me. Now I think my limo driver hates me.

Ray Romano

The one thing you shouldn't do is try to tell a cab driver how to get somewhere.

Jimmy Fallon

Television, introduced at the close of World War II, has become a form of electronic heroin, and it isn't even your trip. They don't even let you go on your own trip, you get a trip designed by Madison Avenue.

Terence McKenna

It's not a special taste. An American composer should have something to say to a cab driver.

Morton Gould

Even when you're casting, casting is always one of the weirdest subjective areas. You can get a group of people who would decide and say, "This person is a great actor and this person is less than a great actor," but there will always be somebody else who likes that person better than you based on their experience in their other films.

Suzanne Todd

I always think you can tell a lot about a person by how they talk to their cab driver.

Jeremy Strong

Barack Obama is not the kind of guy we want in the Oval Office leading America. We do not want somebody who doesn't like his own country, for whatever perverted, convoluted, stupid reasons.
