John Candy

I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
John Candy

I thought to myself, Join the army. It's free. So I figured while I'm here I'll lose a few pounds.
John Candy

Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
John Candy

Henry Winkler

A human being's first responsibility is to shake hands with himself.
Henry Winkler

Adam Sandler is truly brilliant. He plays these goofy characters, but he is a brilliant fellow.
Henry Winkler

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
Henry Winkler

Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.
Henry Winkler

I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.
Henry Winkler

I rode it once, which was up the driveway in the opening credits of the show. I didn't know how to stop it. I actually nearly killed the director of photography, and I smashed into the sound truck.
Henry Winkler

If you make compelling television, they will come.
Henry Winkler

In school, I was an underachiever.
Henry Winkler

Producing came about because I never wanted to be in one of those books, Where Are They Now?
Henry Winkler

Producing is the hardest of the three because there is almost no closure. Every time you solve a problem, another one pops up. Directing is second, and acting is the most fun.
Henry Winkler

Right now I belong to the wonderful organization called The Children's Action Network. The first thing we did was immunize 200,000 children across the country against childhood diseases.
Henry Winkler

That problem has been going on since men and women and their children moved from the plains and into caves. How many times have you heard Howard Cunningham talking to Marian about shopping? Too many.
Henry Winkler

To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.
Henry Winkler

Wes Craven is a wonderful friend, and we had a really good time together.
Henry Winkler

When Richie Cunningham drank too many beers, his parents sat him down and explained their concerns. If you live on this earth, you find out that we are all the same.
Henry Winkler

When you love what you do, then you're talking to one of the luckiest guys on the face of the earth.
Henry Winkler

You see, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle, actually.
Henry Winkler

Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
Henry Winkler

Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane

I am not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it.
Grace Slick

I didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.
Grace Slick

I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
Grace Slick

I'm very fond of drugs.
Grace Slick

If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Grace Slick

It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.
Grace Slick

No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it.
Grace Slick

The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.
Grace Slick

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
Grace Slick

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.
Grace Slick

Paul McCartney

At the end of the Beatles, I really was done in for the first time in my life. Until then, I really was a kind of cocky sod.
Paul McCartney

Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.
Paul McCartney

George Martin, he's very good at a very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.
Paul McCartney

George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.
Paul McCartney

I can take pot or leave it. I got busted in Japan for it. I was nine days without it and there wasn't a hint of withdrawal, nothing.
Paul McCartney

I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.
Paul McCartney

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
Paul McCartney

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.
Paul McCartney

I don't take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don't mind.
Paul McCartney

I don't work at being ordinary.
Paul McCartney

I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.
Paul McCartney

I had this song called Helter Skelter, which is just a ridiculous song. So we did it like that, 'cuz I like noise.
Paul McCartney

I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
Paul McCartney

I never look forward, because I have no idea about how any of it happened to getting here. I've no idea how the next five years are going to be.
Paul McCartney

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
Paul McCartney

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.
Paul McCartney

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.
Paul McCartney

I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
Paul McCartney

I used to think that all my Wings stuff was second-rate stuff, but I began to meet younger kids, not kids from my Beatle generation, who would say, We really love this song.
Paul McCartney

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
Paul McCartney

Charlie Daniels

A friend of mine, that I had known for some time, came up one day with an old guitar. I don't know where he got it, I don't know how long he'd had it, but he knew about two chords on it. He proceeded to teach them to me, and then we proceeded to go crazy over music.
Charlie Daniels

Any accolades that anybody puts toward this band really makes me feel good, because I have devoted such a big part of my life to this band, making it what I want it to be.
Charlie Daniels

Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.
Charlie Daniels

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did.
Charlie Daniels

I just thank God I can make a living doing something I enjoy as much as I do playing music.
Charlie Daniels

I should be the one to say what I do. It's just not done that way anymore in Nashville, and I can't do it the other way. That's how our record label came about.
Charlie Daniels

My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be.
Charlie Daniels

The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.
Charlie Daniels

We can get rid of red tape.
Charlie Daniels

We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started.
Charlie Daniels

Well, I just can't play the game anymore. I'm 63 years old, and I've been in the business for 40 years now. I take good advice and direction really well, but I don't need somebody that finished college two years ago to come in and tell me what I should be recording.
Charlie Daniels

Valerie Harper

Do not tell somebody how to vote, just go up to them and tell them what Fahrenheit 9/11 meant to you. Fahrenheit will probably not win an Academy Award, but if you put it first on your list, it will become a nominee.
Valerie Harper

I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.
Valerie Harper

I'm painfully middle class.
Valerie Harper

Paula Abdul

All you can do is the best you can do.
Paula Abdul

America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest, saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.
Paula Abdul

American Idol has taken over my whole life.
Paula Abdul

Any types of auditions will be posted in trade magazines.
Paula Abdul

Can you imagine Simon as a kid? His imaginary friends probably never wanted to play with him.
Paula Abdul

Constructive criticism is about finding something good and positive to soften the blow to the real critique of what really went on.
Paula Abdul

Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.
Paula Abdul

Find fitness with fun dancing. It is fun and makes you forget about the dreaded exercise.
Paula Abdul

For all of those willing to help me start a family, I am flattered. I will let you know when I need your help.
Paula Abdul

I am in Toronto, shooting a movie for NBC.
Paula Abdul

I can't wait to be back on the dance floor. I feel really good about it.
Paula Abdul

I got a call to come in and meet Fox, and the rest is history.
Paula Abdul

I have been working up until recently with Neil Simon, who has been adapting the character to me.
Paula Abdul

I signed on with Disney to star and choreograph an original film.
Paula Abdul

I think a duet with Janet is a great idea.
Paula Abdul

I think it would be great if there were no age limit.
Paula Abdul

I welcome him like I welcome cold sores. He's from England, he's angry and he's got Mad Power Disease.
Paula Abdul

I will never forget my humble beginnings as a Laker Girl. It was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had.
Paula Abdul

I'm grateful this ordeal is over, and I'm so looking forward to getting back to the job I love.
Paula Abdul

I'm happily single.
Paula Abdul

Julia Roberts

A fever is an expression of inner rage.
Julia Roberts

Happiness isn't happiness unless there's a violin-playing goat.
Julia Roberts

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.
Julia Roberts

I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor.
Julia Roberts

I could have been a dental hygienist with nothing bad ever appearing in print about me, but that's not how I've chosen to lead my life. I knew that you put yourself under a microscope the more famous you become.
Julia Roberts

I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way.
Julia Roberts

I don't think I realized that the cost of fame is that it's open season on every moment of your life.
Julia Roberts

I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory.
Julia Roberts

I just want to make a point that it's not just great teachers that sometimes shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers that shapes your life and being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lauded.
Julia Roberts

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.
Julia Roberts

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.
Julia Roberts

I wouldn't do nudity in films. For me, personally... To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary.
Julia Roberts

I'm an utterly average, total geek.
Julia Roberts

I'm too tall to be a girl. I'm between a chick and a broad.
Julia Roberts

I've never had to pretend to be having sex with somebody. I'm like the queen of the foreplay dissolve.
Julia Roberts

If all you have to offer is a look that is supposed to be appealing, the you are going to be paid attention to about a tenth as long as you would be if when you speak you are interesting.
Julia Roberts

If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.
Julia Roberts

It's funny when people say, 'I don't think Julia likes me.' Honey, if I don't like you, you're going to know about it.
Julia Roberts

Love is not love, without a violin playing goat.
Julia Roberts

My boyfriend keeps telling me I've got to own things. So, first I bought this car. And then he told me I oughta get a house. 'Why a house?' 'Well, you gotta have a place to park the car.'
Julia Roberts

Bill Wyman of Rolling Stones

Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.
Bill Wyman

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
Bill Wyman

Everything had to be done in-between Stones time.
Bill Wyman

I always got great respect as a bass player.
Bill Wyman

I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.
Bill Wyman

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.
Bill Wyman

I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.
Bill Wyman

I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.
Bill Wyman

I don't make any money.
Bill Wyman

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.
Bill Wyman

I have found two Roman sites in the area that I live in.
Bill Wyman

I have no restrictions, no limits, no musical history to live with.
Bill Wyman

I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography.
Bill Wyman

I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
Bill Wyman

I love to play smaller crowds with the Rhythm Kings.
Bill Wyman

I open events for museums and I do charity work and photography.
Bill Wyman

I think anyone would want to see their favorite band in a small club over a large stadium.
Bill Wyman

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
Bill Wyman

I'm always shy in front of an audience, so I'm always at the back, in the shadows, just doing it. I don't like the front, the adulation.
Bill Wyman

If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom.
Bill Wyman

George Harrison

After all we did for Britain, selling that corduroy and making it swing, all we got was a bit of tin on a piece of leather.
George Harrison

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.
George Harrison

America has everything, why should they want us.
George Harrison

As far as I'm concerned, there won't be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon remains dead.
George Harrison

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
George Harrison

Gossip is the Devil's radio.
George Harrison

Hippies are so phoney and fake.
George Harrison

I wanted to be successful, not famous.
George Harrison

I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
George Harrison

I'll play what you want or I won't play at all.
George Harrison

Love one another.
George Harrison

The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
George Harrison

The Beatles will exist without us.
George Harrison

The Beatles will go on and on.
George Harrison

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
George Harrison

The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.
George Harrison

The world used us as an excuse to go mad.
George Harrison

There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.
George Harrison

Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.
George Harrison

We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away.
George Harrison

Walt Disney

A man should never neglect his family for business.
Walt Disney

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.
Walt Disney

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney

All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney

All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.
Walt Disney

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Walt Disney

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.
Walt Disney

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.
Walt Disney

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is a show.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt Disney

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
Walt Disney

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
Walt Disney

I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.
Walt Disney

I believe in being an innovator.
Walt Disney

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
Walt Disney

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
Walt Disney

I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
Walt Disney

Tom Petty

I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.
Tom Petty

I have turned down a lot of money for things that would have made me feel cheesy.
Tom Petty

I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.
Tom Petty

I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty

It's better to burn out, then to fade away.
Tom Petty

It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.
Tom Petty

It's very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it's really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.
Tom Petty

Most things I worry about never happen anyway.
Tom Petty

The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit.
Tom Petty

TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
Tom Petty

We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
Tom Petty

You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again.
Tom Petty

Ringo Starr

America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr

And I came back and it was great, 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band, you know.
Ringo Starr

And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
Ringo Starr

And so we went away to play, and we'd come back to Liverpool. And while we were doing this - 'cuz we did it for two years. And then we'd go to Germany, and that's where I met the Beatles.
Ringo Starr

And the White Album is important to me for different reasons. One - I had left the band on the White Album.
Ringo Starr

Everything government touches turns to crap.
Ringo Starr

Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.
Ringo Starr

George was getting alot of independence for himself in those days. He was writing more, and wanted things to go his way - where, when we first started things basically went John and Paul's way. You know, 'cuz they were the writers.
Ringo Starr

I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.
Ringo Starr

I like Beethoven, especially the poems.
Ringo Starr

I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.
Ringo Starr

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.
Ringo Starr

I'm not sleeping with all the women I appear with.
Ringo Starr

People in Liverpool don't move very far, you know.
Ringo Starr

So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr

That's all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.
Ringo Starr

That's when we decided to stop in '66. Everyone thought we toured for years, you know, but we didn't. I joined in '62, and we'd finished touring in '66 to go into the studio where we could hear each other... and create any fantasy that came out of anybody's brain.
Ringo Starr

The second side of Abbey Road is my favorite.
Ringo Starr

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.
Ringo Starr

We've got the children so we have to deal with each other because we have to deal with children's problems, you know, and our own problems. But some days it's fine, and then some days we just are at each other's throat.
Ringo Starr

Jean Claude Van Damme

God gave me a great body and it's my duty to take care of my physical temple.
Jean Claude Van Damme

I've become 40, my audience is partly the same age.
Jean Claude Van Damme

In an action film you act in the action. If it's a dramatic film you act in the drama.
Jean Claude Van Damme

What is a movie star? It is an illusion. It was everything I ever wanted to be, but it became a kind of shell, non? It was what made me famous and got me women. But it wasn't real.
Jean Claude Van Damme

What really helps a guy to become an action hero today is the directing of the movie. All those fast cuts.
Jean Claude Van Damme

Robin Williams

What's right is what's left if you do everything else wrong.
Robin Williams

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.
Robin Williams

Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.
Robin Williams

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"
Robin Williams

The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'
Robin Williams

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.
Robin Williams

Chuck Berry

Don't let the same dog bite you twice.
Chuck Berry

It's amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.
Chuck Berry

Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
Chuck Berry

Evel Knievel

But you come to a point in your life when you can't pull the trigger anymore.
Evel Knievel

Harley-Davidson is the finest company in the world.
Evel Knievel

I am a lucky, lucky person.
Evel Knievel

I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.
Evel Knievel

I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.
Evel Knievel

I guess I thought I was Elvis Presley but I'll tell ya something. All Elvis did was stand on a stage and play a guitar. He never fell off on that pavement at no 80 mph.
Evel Knievel

I know guys in my hometown that drive by feel and sound.
Evel Knievel

I know that I'm very lucky to be alive. For 35 or 40 years I've spilt my blood and broke my bones and spent years in hospitals.
Evel Knievel

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
Evel Knievel

I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.
Evel Knievel

I recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I'm getting used to the medication.
Evel Knievel

I think I coulda landed on a dime. I really do.
Evel Knievel

I think these shows with the young kids doing these jumps, doing these fantastic back flips, I think they're absolutely great. They did what I never did.
Evel Knievel

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.
Evel Knievel

I thought I was bulletproof or Superman there for a while. I thought I'd never run out of nerve. Never.
Evel Knievel

I've been in a treatment center for drinkin'. I stayed for two days, then escaped.
Evel Knievel

If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.
Evel Knievel

If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass.
Evel Knievel

In the old days they, the promoters, wanted more and more from me. They wanted me to jump or spill my blood and break my bones. Every time they wanted me to jump further, and further, and further. Hell, they thought my bike had wings.
Evel Knievel

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose it's place.
Evel Knievel

Tito Jackson

I'm glad that he's got all this behind him. And I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of people - and there are certain people that don't report the news accurate for their own personal fame and gain. And they know who they are.
Tito Jackson

Like Jermaine was saying, it's a beautiful day, and we're just glad all of this is behind us. We can go on with our lives. And Michael can go on with his life and do what he does best, and that's making good music, making his fans happy, people happy all over the world.
Tito Jackson

Oh, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. And no matter if he sold 40 million records off of one record and sold 15 off his last or whatever the counts may be, Michael Jackson will be Michael Jackson.
Tito Jackson

Some people are probably scratching their heads and saying, How did that happen? That's because some of the media didn't give the public the full story.
Tito Jackson

Well, I don't have anything to say to Mr. Sneddon, you know? Nothing at all.
Tito Jackson

David Bowie

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.
David Bowie

But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
David Bowie

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.
David Bowie

Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in.
David Bowie

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I'm referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.
David Bowie

However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
David Bowie

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.
David Bowie

I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
David Bowie

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.
David Bowie

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
David Bowie

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
David Bowie

I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
David Bowie

I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.
David Bowie

I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.
David Bowie

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
David Bowie

I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.
David Bowie

I'm always amazed that peole take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.
David Bowie

I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.
David Bowie

I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.
David Bowie

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
David Bowie

Marie Osmond

I did a book signing when we were in New York the day before yesterday. A lady came through and she was just weeping, and said, 'I wish this would have been brought out sooner, my sister is in prison for suffocating her child.'
Marie Osmond

I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. You know, you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void.
Marie Osmond

I found for me that my safe place was work. I could control my environment. I became very fastidious and detailed, and wanted things a certain way.
Marie Osmond

I lost boundaries as a child that I didn't even realize it and it wasn't talked about back then. You know, it was something you just buried and dealt with, and moved forward. What could you do about it?
Marie Osmond

If you're going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now.
Marie Osmond

Little things in my past that I really thought were over and done with were still elements of the puzzle that weren't pieced together, and so she helped me do that.
Marie Osmond

So, babies are taken from their mothers because they get temporarily insane and it's not the mother's fault. This is the thing: they shouldn't feel ashamed. They didn't cause this. It is not something they did to themselves.
Marie Osmond

The good Lord made us all out of iron. Then he turns up the heat to forge some of us into steel.
Marie Osmond

The other thing is that doctors test only the most common estrogen level. There are three kinds of estrogen in a woman but they don't test the other two because they are so rare; mine was the third kind of estrogen.
Marie Osmond

There are some great questions to ask your doctor. If he says 'no,' then you find yourself a different doctor. There really has to be a change in how we medically look at women at this time. I mean, this is not just baby gloom.
Marie Osmond

This is a physical thing that is fixable. I know, I'm a survivor. Believe me, there was no way I thought I could survive. There are answers out there that need to be found.
Marie Osmond

This is a serious, serious condition that is also called postpartum psychosis. And that's where, literally, you get so bad that you end up either hurting the baby or killing yourself.
Marie Osmond

We know well and we know chronically ill, but there is a whole bunch of gray in between where I think we can heal people before they become chronically sick. I believe our thoughts make us sick.
Marie Osmond

What basically happens is your hormones get out of whack. Because of the stress in your life your body says, 'I need more hormones.' So, your hormones are trying to produce and produce and produce, and it's even more stressful and it is this wicked cycle.
Marie Osmond

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned.
Marie Osmond

You are in the back of your head somewhere and you want to close your eyes and go away.
Marie Osmond

You just need to be honest with how you're feeling. But, a lot of women are afraid of it because they think, 'Oh, they are going to take my baby away. They're gonna call me incompetent. I'm going to lose my job. I've got to be tough, it's a man's world.'
Marie Osmond

You know, you don't work 30 something years in this business without knowing how to push yourself. So, I just kept pushing myself and pushing myself. The other thing that happens is when your hormones get out of whack your emotions come up.
Marie Osmond

Pam Grier

And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.
Pam Grier

But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
Pam Grier

Does a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it's not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn't then.
Pam Grier

Driving a cab is not really a nurturing type of relationship. You take people and they tip you, they may not tip you, you don't know their names, they don't care about you, you don't care about them.
Pam Grier

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
Pam Grier

I am really blessed and very grateful for it.
Pam Grier

I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.
Pam Grier

I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
Pam Grier

I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
Pam Grier

I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.
Pam Grier

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
Pam Grier

I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
Pam Grier

I like to do all kinds of films.
Pam Grier

I love science fiction.
Pam Grier

I love the hip-hop nation.
Pam Grier

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
Pam Grier

I really do not care if it is a B-movie or not.
Pam Grier

I thought I would be Sheena of the Jungle as a little girl.
Pam Grier

I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.
Pam Grier

I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Pam Grier

Daryl Hall

Chronic Lyme causes arthritis, heart problems, stroke - even death.
Daryl Hall

I returned to upstate NY where I just laid in bed for days with a fever that just wouldn't go away. After more of this, I grew increasingly sure that this was not simply the flu!
Daryl Hall

If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage, it's funny to see what happens.
Daryl Hall

This illness made it impossible for me to give my best effort to our audience, but now that it's been identified, I'm looking forward to a complete, quick recovery and to get back out there with John as soon as possible.
Daryl Hall

Curtis Mayfield

Maybe the words that I say is just another way to pray.
Curtis Mayfield

Our purpose is to educate as well as to entertain.
Curtis Mayfield

Painless preaching is as good a term as any for what we do.
Curtis Mayfield

Samuel L. Jackson

Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to be quite true.
Samuel L. Jackson

I actually think I have an audience member's sensibility about going to the movies.
Samuel L. Jackson

I guess the worst day I have had was when I had to stand up in rehab in front of my wife and daughter and say 'Hi, my name is Sam and I am an addict.'
Samuel L. Jackson

I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.
Samuel L. Jackson

I never had one beer. If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone. You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself. I haven't had a drink now in 12 years.
Samuel L. Jackson

I've been fortunate to be in films that are classic, that are going to be around.
Samuel L. Jackson

If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.
Samuel L. Jackson

Long Kiss Goodnight has a huge cult following. They could make another version of that movie right now and make a lot of money.
Samuel L. Jackson

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.
Samuel L. Jackson

George C. Scott

But when it became an international hoopla where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn't get an Oscar, then it got out of hand.
George C. Scott

There is no question you get pumped up by the recognition. Then a self-loathing sets in when you realise you're enjoying it.
George C. Scott

Peter Finch

If I was going to be broke I decided I might as well be with actors as anyone else. They were cheerful idiots and seemed to take it better.
Peter Finch

Sally Field

But I was losing so much bone density that I would have been in grave danger. And I mean grave danger. If I had let it go just a few more years I could have broken my hip or spine just picking up my granddaughter.
Sally Field

But there isn't any second half of myself waiting to plug in and make me whole. It's there. I'm already whole.
Sally Field

Change is never easy.
Sally Field

I came from a real working-class show business family.
Sally Field

I can't deny the fact that you like me! You like me!
Sally Field

I have never been beautiful in cliche terms.
Sally Field

I joined the Actors Studio and began to work with Lee Strasberg, and that changed my work.
Sally Field

I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
Sally Field

I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I'm an actor, that's all. I just do what I do.
Sally Field

I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
Sally Field

I think the first thing I did was several scenes from Romeo and Juliet.
Sally Field

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.
Sally Field

I was raised to sense what someone wanted me to be and be that kind of person. It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.
Sally Field

I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.
Sally Field

I'm so vigorous, and I so take it for granted, because I've always been a real physical person.
Sally Field

I've never had my heart broken.
Sally Field

If I hadn't fought back, I might have been Gidget forever.
Sally Field

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

Last year I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Tim Curry

One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.
Tim Curry

But we live in a modern world, you know, and, and also it does seem to me that if you - that whatever talents you have, it... I mean it may sound a bit absurd but I, I think it's your, absolutely your duty to resolve them, you know?
Tim Curry

Don't dream it, be it.
Tim Curry

The people on the business side in the music business are kind of different from the theatre business. I think it's partly because there are different pressures on the industries.
Tim Curry

Um, musicians are funnier you know, than actors on the whole.

I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.

I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
Ali MacGraw

I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
Ali MacGraw

I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.
Ali MacGraw

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
Ali MacGraw

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
Ali MacGraw

It's been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am.

Woody Allen

As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Woody Allen

Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats.
Woody Allen

Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.
Woody Allen

Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
Woody Allen

Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
Woody Allen

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Woody Allen

Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

Sylvester Stallone

I am a sensitive writer, actor and director. Talking business disgusts me. If you want to talk business, call my disgusting personal manager.
Sylvester Stallone

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
Sylvester Stallone

I have a lack of fear, whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway, I have great expectations for the future, but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
Sylvester Stallone

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
Sylvester Stallone

I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I've had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn't been dull; I've been the Hiroshima of love.
Sylvester Stallone

I love being verbal in films.
Sylvester Stallone

I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.
Sylvester Stallone

I respect a woman too much to marry her.
Sylvester Stallone

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
Sylvester Stallone

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Sylvester Stallone

I think everyone has a certain kind of formula in their life. When you deviate from that formula, you're going to fail big or you're gonna win big.
Sylvester Stallone

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.
Sylvester Stallone

I think that's become passe, but if you can surround yourself with a kind of monument to yourself and your family - a statement - and you can afford it, then that's a noble project.
Sylvester Stallone

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.
Sylvester Stallone

I'm a patriot of the heart.
Sylvester Stallone

I'm more focused and have a greater sense of challenge, because I constantly feel the weight of time.
Sylvester Stallone

I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man.
Sylvester Stallone

I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.
Sylvester Stallone

If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there'd be bodies hanging from every tree!
Sylvester Stallone

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.
Sylvester Stallone
