Huffington Post:

Nobody tells Ted Turner to shush, and that goes double for his publicist. While being interviewed by Wil Hylton for GQ's 50th anniversary issue, the mouthy media billionaire had the following choice words for his flack after being reminded of his time constraints:

PUBLICIST: We have eight minutes left.

TURNER: ALL RIGHT! SHUT UP!

PUBLICIST: So move on to other topics.

TURNER: I DON'T NEED YOU FOR THAT! YOU'RE JUST AN OLD PUSSY! YOU'RE JUST AN OLD PUSSY! YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE MOTHER HEN. [in falsetto] "WE'VE GOTTA DO THIS! WE'VE GOTTA DO THAT!" [back to regular voice] THIS IS IMPORTANT! THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!
