The trick is, you use the truth when you wanna tell a lie.
The right amount of truth helps sell a good lie.
The lie never betrays you. Never leaves you, never gets old, never gets cancer. It is perfect every time you manufacture it.
The best thing telling a lie is when you get to start telling the truth. It really does kind of set you free.[to Antonio]
The best lies are 90% true, and I’m the best f***ing liar.
That’s our world now, Will. We lie to everyone. We lie to our friends and our colleagues and our family. We lie out of fear. We lie to protect ourselves.
Telling you half a story is not the same as lying.
Sometimes you have to lie to people in order to motivate them. Like your promotion or your sabbatical.[to Dr. Wolf]
Sometimes you create such a web of lies that you almost forget what you started running from in the first place.
Sometimes there are lies that we tell to protect ourselves, and lies that we tell to protect those we love. And sometimes, they’re the same lie.[to Linda]
Someone telling the truth is gonna vary their responses, but a liar is gonna feed you the same line over and over because they’re hiding something.
Some dogs refuse to lie. Some dogs you have to hit, kick while they’re down, in order to ensure they stay down.
