Nobody ever accused him of holding back and not speaking his mind, which I love about him.

I think you've taken it a step further by picking out the most sensational quote, rather than the most illustrative -- and I mean that in a completely complimentary way -- because you can't help to click on the links simply to discover the context of the quote. This makes my choice of quotes seem boring in comparison! I love it, Michael.
