How wretched is the proverb

 How wretched is the person who hangs on by the favors of the powerful.
  Robert Burns

 O how wretched is that poor man that hangs on princes favors! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, that sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, more pangs and fears than wars or women have, and when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.
  William Shakespeare

 With any addiction like gambling, it becomes the central feature of the person's life. Everything else hangs on it.

 It's hard to get a feel in a still image what a costume's made of, what it looks like on a person, how it hangs.

 It's another policy that favors developers and industry at the cost of the average person.

 They use a lot of friends and favors, ... In order for it to really compete with Hollywood you need a professional class of person both in front of and behind the scenes.

 Should a person who's the most powerful person in the world conduct his personal life in such a way that would be a poor example to our children?

 You realize with all the success he's having, he's still the same person. In his phone book, he probably could call any superstar in the world and hang out with him at any given moment. But he still doesn't comb his hair and he still just chills and hangs out.

 This has extraordinary significance in its own right: Chris will be the second most powerful person in the largest city in America.

 It's trying to say, 'Look, if you lie to your parents, if you lie once, it gets easier. If you lie again, there are consequences to everything you do, ... You must not take fame, celebrity and power too literally because there's nothing worse than see kids being seduced by some person they see as powerful. We're all alike. And you see the beginning of the end of any person success and talent when they wake up one day and think they're better than somebody else and think they are beyond the law. That's when everything happens. That's when all hell breaks loose.
