Quotes

Rodney Bingenheimer: [pointing to a frame on his wall] Elvis Presley's driver's license.

Mackenzie Phillips: We would spend hours getting ready but we would spend hours clipping our hair, hoping that we would look like mental patients.

Michael Des Barres: [about Rodney's English Disco] The dance floor was as big as Pamela's coffee table but there was a VIP booth with one table in it. It was so cute, with like a velvet rope separating you from the other three people that were in the joint. The other three people happened to be Iggy Pop and Bowie and Elvis.
