The Mariah Carey quote is false.
The Brooke Shields quote is true, but slightly misquoted. "Smoking can kill you," said Shields. "And if you've been killed you've lost a very important part of your life."
The Marion Barry quote is true.
The Al Gore quote is false. (Originally a made-up Quaylism.)
The Dan Quayle quote is true.
The Joe Theismann quote is probably true.

I don't know about the others.
