Jessica Simpson on Concentration Camps: "I've seen reruns of that on the Game Show Network! Hugh Downs was totally cute back then. Were the camps for, like, practicing for the show? I'd like to buy a vowel... or whatever!"

Dorothy Parker on Casablanca: "Man, I totally wanted to be Elsa, but I would have stayed with Rick. Screw the resistance, or, rather, Screw Humphrey Bogart!"

Michael Ian Black on wartime cartoons: "Disney and Warner Brothers were making cartoons with their characters at war. Really, Donald Duck had been killing Japanese people for years, it just wasn't until Pearl Harbor that they felt they could make a show out of it. They used to just bury them quietly in the backlot."
