What's your take on love, Rick?

Well, kid, love's a funny thing. It's the stuff dreams are made of, but it can also be the cause of a lot of heartache. In this crazy world, you never know who's playing you for a fool and who's the real deal. But when it's real, it's worth fighting for, even if it hurts like hell.

Do you think you'll ever find true love, Rick?

I've had my heart broken once, and once is enough for a lifetime. But who knows? Maybe lightning will strike twice. In Casablanca, anything can happen, and usually does. But love, well, love's a different kind of battlefield.

What's your opinion on getting involved in other people's problems?

I've learned the hard way that sticking your neck out for others can get you in deep water. But when you see someone fighting the good fight, sometimes you just can't help but join the fray. In Casablanca, doing the right thing can cost you, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it.

How do you cope with the pressures of running a nightclub in a war-torn city?

Running this joint is like walking a tightrope, kid. You never know when the next gust of wind is gonna throw you off balance. But you keep your wits about you, make deals with the devil when you have to, and always stay one step ahead. It's a tough gig, but someone's gotta do it, and I do it with style.
