Quotes:

Willie Conway: You know in five years you won't even remember me.

Paul: Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

Marty: I might just grow to be five-ten. I'll be hot.

Marty: What we've been doing lately is smoking massive amounts of drugs, binging on Entemmann's and listening to old Pink Floyd CD's.

Marty: I like to mash snow. It gives me a tremendous feeling of self satisfaction.

Willie Conway: I can't play Pooh to your Christopher Robin.

Marty: If I'm not mistaken, you've come back here to the house of loneliness and tears, to Daddy Downer and Brother Bummer, to come to some sort of decision about life, a life decision if you will.

Willie Conway: How old are you?::Marty: Thirteen. But I have an old soul.

Gina: I'm finished speaking to both of you okay? You're both fucking insane. You want to know what your problem is? MTV, Playboy, and Madison fucking Avenue. Yes. Let me explain something to you, ok? Girls with big tits have big asses. Girls with little tits have little asses. That's the way it goes. God doesn't fuck around; he's a fair guy. He gave the fatties big, beautiful tits and the skinnies little tiny niddlers. It's not my rule. If you don't like it, call him. Hey Mitch. Thank you. [Looking at a porn magazine] Oh, guys, look what we have here. Look at this, your favorite. Oh, you like that?::Tommy: I could go along with that.::Gina: Yeah, that's nice right? Well, it doesn't exist ok. Look at the hair. The hair is long, it's flowing, it's like a river. Well, it's a fucking weave ok? And the tits, please! I could hang my overcoat on them. Tits by design were invented to be suckled by babies. Yes, they're purely functional. These are silicon city. And look, my favorite, the shaved pubis. Pubic hair being too unruly and all. Very key. This is a mockery, this is a sham, this is bullshit. Implants, collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out, the hair extended, the nose fixed, the bush shaved... These are not real women, all right? They're beauty freaks. And they make all us normal women with our wrinkles, our puckered boobs, hi bob, and our cellulite feel somehow inadequate. Well I don't buy it, all right? But you fucking mooks, if you think that if there's a chance in hell that you'll end up with one of these women, you don't give us real women anything approaching a commitment. It's pathetic. I don't know what you think you're going to do. You're going to end up eighty-years old, drooling in some nursing home, then you're going to decide, it's time to settle down, get married, have kids? What, are you going to find a cheerleader? Charge it Mitch.::Tommy: I think you're over simplifying.::Gina: Oh eat me. Look at Paul. With his models on the wall, his dog named Elle McPherson. He's insane. He's obsessed. You're all obsessed. If you had an once of self-esteem, of self-worth, of self-confidence, you would realize that as trite as it may sound, beauty is truly skin-deep. And you know what, if you ever did hook one of those girls, I guarantee you'd be sick of her.::Tommy: Yeah, I suppose I'd get sick of her after about, what, twenty or thirty years?::Gina: Get over yourself. Thank you Mitch. Say hello to Gertrude.::Tommy: What?::Gina: No mater how perfect the nipple, how supple the thigh, unless there is some other shit going on in the relationship, besides the physical, it's going to get old, ok? And you guys, as a gender, have got to get a grip. Otherwise, the future of the human race is in jeopardy.::Willie Conway: What was that?::Tommy: I don't know, but a great ass.::Willie Conway: Nice tits. Come on let's go.

Willie Conway: I just want something beautiful, Mo.::Michael 'Mo' Morris: We all want something beautiful, Willie.

Famous quotes by Elle Macpherson:

"G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now."

"With the anthology we've taken that concept one step further and we've asked certain people to give their opinion of what's going on. I like that intellectual side."

"When I stepped out of the campaigns, we decided we'd focus on the word intimate and capture a model in a moment,"

"Underwear is such an emotional thing."

"It's like the underwear in the sense that they are premium products at competitive prices. I spent a long time researching the products, and the philosophy is the same as the lingerie."

"I see myself as the consumer. I'm a working mother and I don't get a lot of time to myself. I create products that I need in my life, and which make me feel good."

"A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market, ... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest."

"For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'."

"if your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway thereto turning heads"

"I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu."

"You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I'd end up feeling totally insecure about myself."

"I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels."

"People in the fashion industry have used the press a lot more than people in the film industry, because you have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything."

"The image is where you have dinner at night, who you're seeing. It's what car you drive and how you dress. People in the industry sell that, and it creates a dream. There's nothing else."

"If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time."

"Focusing on the way I look makes me uncomfortable. I try to focus on the way I feel - I know what makes me feel better about myself. Reading my child a story makes me feel great, doing my hair nicely doesn't."

"But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter."

"I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role."

"A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest."

"Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important."
