    • Tommy: You know, I left the country when Reagan got in; I went to France. And when George Bush Jr. got in, my instincts told me it was time to go - I'd felt that we had grown above that, you know?
    • Tommy: You can't do a lot of things when you're high. Like, you can't shoot a movie. You can't be an actor in a movie.
    • Tommy: I call this the Tsunami Government. This government is just like the tsunami. It's coming in, it's going to wreak havoc and desolation, and then it'll go out. It'll disappear. So we just have to live through it.
