Anyone who asks "How are you?" and I know they really dont care, I will let them know exactly how I'm doing. Typically when those people ask Im in a bad mood and pissing them off makes me feel better.

Do you have a year for that quote, MB?  Olivier when asked what made a great actor said "Sincerity.  Once you can fake that, you can do anything."

I wonder who cribbed from whom?
