“Carly Sommers” quotes from Nip/Tuck

Let me tell you something, doctor. It's not easy being Robert Easton. He isn't stupid. He knows that underneath his ‘look-how-big-my-dick-is' act that he's just a scared little boy who feeds of everyone else's talent and dreams. He's nothing. I have a gift. I help keep men like Bob from imploding with too much power.

Sounds like living the dream has its price.

Of course it does. Eat your young on a regular basis, what do you expect? All day long, I'm the one with the control, the power. Once a week, Mistress Dark Pain takes it all away from me. Sometimes twice a week during Oscar season. Every bite somehow restores the balance. Keeps me real, you know?
