1 " I want to get married someday. I want to stand up in front of all the people I love and make that commitment to someone I can’t live without. I want to have a family with her and dogs and a house that’s all ours. I want to take vacations with her and see the world together. I want to live and work and play and love with her, every day for the rest of my life. The woman I love, the woman I marry will be treated like a queen because that’s how I was raised by my dad and my uncles. It’s how my cousins treat their wives. I don’t know any other way but the McCarthy way. "

6 " Everyone has been through something awful. Some may be worse than others, but no one slides through life unscathed. "
7 " So much for my low-carb diet.” “The low-carb diet goes against everything I believe in. Do you think anyone lies on their deathbed thinking ‘I’m so glad I stayed away from bread, pasta, potatoes, beer or my aunt Linda’s doughnuts’? I say no. No one wishes they had less of any of those things. "
8 " Big Mac liked to say that life was what happened when you were busy making other plans. "
