It’s only the first full week of the year, and already 2014 is abuzz with ego-stroking and early retirements. Read on for for the most brazen—and revealing—quotes from the past week.

Fey: First of all, if you think my going rate for anything is $1,000 you are looking at an old catalog. I get at least $12,000 to dress up in sexual costumes for people. I would wear that for free. You would not have to pay me to wear that.”
