LaToya Jackson

Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.
LaToya Jackson

He will be beginning a brand new chapter in the Michael Jackson legend.
LaToya Jackson

I am pleased to tell you that he is finally getting some rest and is regaining his appetite as well.
LaToya Jackson

I can honestly say that I am happier now than I have ever been. For the first time in my life I feel free.
LaToya Jackson

I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.
LaToya Jackson

I love my family and I miss them very much but I'm a new person now. I know a lot of people will not agree with what I've done, but it was right for me.
LaToya Jackson

I married him because he told me it was the only way he could protect me. If we were just manager and client, my family could do whatever they wanted to get me back, but if I was his wife, they couldn't.
LaToya Jackson

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.
LaToya Jackson

I realize now I didn't really want to die. I just wanted to stop the hurt and pain.
LaToya Jackson

I think the deepest problem is between my parents and me. I just don't know if it will ever be the same.
LaToya Jackson

I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.
LaToya Jackson

It is so difficult in the world for people to find love, true love.
LaToya Jackson

It was so strange. I knew that Josephine Baker had performed on the same stage but that night I felt it. Many of the same people who worked with Josephine Baker are still here. They know what they're doing. And that was a very comfortable feeling.
LaToya Jackson

J has told me about his past. I know what happened and why. But he is the one person who made me believe in my talent and whatever happened in the past, he's been a wonderful manager to me.
LaToya Jackson

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.
LaToya Jackson

Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.
LaToya Jackson

People had this image of the Jacksons as the perfect American family and I destroyed that image. But what people have to understand is writing that book was very healing for me.
LaToya Jackson

The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.
LaToya Jackson

This is a very big victory for Michael and we are all very proud that he has been completely and totally vindicated in court, as we were certain he would be.
LaToya Jackson

This is the first time in my life I've ever been happy, not completely happy, but happier than I've ever been.
LaToya Jackson

Reba McEntire

And so we were asleep there in San Diego. And our pilot called us. And his brother was on one of the other planes. And when he was leaving the airport, he saw in his rear view mirror that there was an explosion.
Reba McEntire

And the two planes that were taking the band and crew that we had taken out to San Diego were flying out after the show. And so I was never supposed to be on that plane.
Reba McEntire

At this time when I turn 50, because so there's many of my friends and family who didn't get to see 50-years-old, and so, I'm celebrating for them too.
Reba McEntire

Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.
Reba McEntire

Besides, I'm a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.
Reba McEntire

But I like to listen to demos. I like to hear the finished product. It's like listening to a song - I mean, a story. If you're going to sit here and tell me a story, I just like to listen. I don't want to make them up.
Reba McEntire

Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician.
Reba McEntire

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.
Reba McEntire

For no. 1, it's great writing, super writing. The second thing is that it's great chemistry with all the actors. We just all got along from the very start. Very get-go, we all got along. We just - it was just like we were all meant to be there together.
Reba McEntire

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.
Reba McEntire

I had lots of breaks.
Reba McEntire

I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.
Reba McEntire

I have talked to Debbie Hammond quite a bit, Jim Hammond's wife, his widow. I've seen their kids. And last time we played Dallas, a lot of them came over. It's hard for them to come see the show. It's still hard.
Reba McEntire

I think it's a wonderful time for a woman.
Reba McEntire

I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.
Reba McEntire

I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
Reba McEntire

I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I'm going to get Jackie Ward to record.
Reba McEntire

I've got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody's looking.
Reba McEntire

My family, you know, are all still, you know, very close. We're all still very close. Mom and Daddy are still alive. So, what more can you ask for? Your kids are healthy.
Reba McEntire

Never have doubted it, even when the plane crash happened. I wasn't mad at God. I just knew that there was a reason that I didn't know about why it happened.
Reba McEntire

Mariah Carey

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don't think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.
Mariah Carey

Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.
Mariah Carey

Butterflies are always following me, everywhere I go.
Mariah Carey

Forget the image, forget the ensemble, forget the rumours, forget the short skirts, the big hair, whatever! I owe this to the fans and I will never forget you so I want to accept this award on behalf of all of you.
Mariah Carey

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn't really fit in anywhere.
Mariah Carey

I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don't take it too seriously.
Mariah Carey

I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.
Mariah Carey

I don't think anyone knows as much about what's right for me as I do.
Mariah Carey

I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.
Mariah Carey

I'd rather be onstage with a pig - a duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just ain't going to happen.
Mariah Carey

I'm not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.
Mariah Carey

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.
Mariah Carey

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.
Mariah Carey

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.
Mariah Carey

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.
Mariah Carey

My heart has never been broken, I've never broken anyone else's.
Mariah Carey

My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me - I'm tan, I guess.
Mariah Carey

Never, never listen to anybody that try to discourage you.
Mariah Carey

One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.
Mariah Carey

There is a light at the end of the tunnel... hopefully its not a freight train!
Mariah Carey

Martin Short

All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.
Martin Short

All you're trying to do in an improvisation is get as much material as possible for the editing room.
Martin Short

Being the youngest of five, you're adored, you're fueled with confidence.
Martin Short

David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late '80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He's a very cool, hip guy. This film, let's face it, is like an homage to him, I would imagine he'd find it funny.
Martin Short

I hate to lull the audience into letting them think that something is something. It's always fun to defy expectations.
Martin Short

I have a kind of objective luxury about my career.
Martin Short

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.
Martin Short

I know if I were to drop dead now, people would probably write nice things in the obit.
Martin Short

I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace.
Martin Short

I think I'm funny because my family, my siblings were funny.
Martin Short

I think loss can fuel how you lead your whole life.
Martin Short

I've chosen to treat my life more like a party than something to stress about.
Martin Short

I've done lots of improv things but not a whole movie.
Martin Short

I've never done an improvised movie as a fictitious character. I think that's the challenge.
Martin Short

My mother was the concert master of the symphony. Absurdity and eccentricity were not criticized.
Martin Short

No one is any one thing.
Martin Short

One of my great influences was Don Knotts as Barney Fife.
Martin Short

People do think I'm Jewish. But we're Irish Catholic. My father had a brogue.
Martin Short

Someone once asked me what was the weirdest question I was ever asked. And I was stymied.
Martin Short

Sometimes people get passionate about the obscure jokes.
Martin Short

Steven Tyler

And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
Steven Tyler

As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.
Steven Tyler

As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.
Steven Tyler

Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.
Steven Tyler

But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.
Steven Tyler

Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
Steven Tyler

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
Steven Tyler

Fake it until you make it.
Steven Tyler

Great melody over great riffs is, to me, the secret of it all.
Steven Tyler

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.
Steven Tyler

I don't mind being a grandfather; I've been a mother for so many years. You just can't believe what it's like being a father. Especially when you come out of the chaos of the road to getting married and having children.
Steven Tyler

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
Steven Tyler

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.
Steven Tyler

I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.
Steven Tyler

I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes.
Steven Tyler

I mean, as long as it doesn't have a bra attached, guys can take a risk and wear stylish things that went out of style 30 years ago. As things go around, they come around.
Steven Tyler

I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.
Steven Tyler

I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.
Steven Tyler

I'm really just a country boy.
Steven Tyler

I've got scarves and boots from' 1970 that I still wear.
Steven Tyler

Diana Ross

Criticism, even when you try to ignore it, can hurt. I have cried over many articles written about me, but I move on and I don't hold on to that .
Diana Ross

I don't judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they're a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.
Diana Ross

I have three girls, and I say the same thing to them. I'm not involved in their careers because I've learned that it's important for them to stand on their own two feet. They'll feel better and prouder of themselves if they do.
Diana Ross

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.
Diana Ross

I learned something from that. If someone asks me something that I really don't want to do, I say no. I have to trust that. And I'm not afraid to talk money.
Diana Ross

I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.
Diana Ross

I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.
Diana Ross

I try to choose the songs that really are basically coming from my heart. I think that through the songs that I select, people know what's going on in my life.
Diana Ross

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
Diana Ross

I was looking at making a shift in my career. I've been so blessed I'd like to be able to give that back. If I could find young artists, young performers I can nurture to have a career I would really like that.
Diana Ross

I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.
Diana Ross

I'm not really a songwriter - I'm an interpreter. So in a sense I am an actress first and foremost. I act out the songs, and I lead with my heart.
Diana Ross

If I have someone who believes in me, I can move mountains.
Diana Ross

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.
Diana Ross

It's the first time I have returned to my roots - like going back to be a trio. The fans really wanted me to go back on stage and do the Supremes music, so I went about trying to make it happen. We'll go on tour in the summer.
Diana Ross

Just because I have my standards they think I'm a bitch.
Diana Ross

My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
Diana Ross

My father worked hard, but we were still very poor; and I didn't want anybody arguing about money, so I became the entertainer - the one who wanted everyone to be happy. I didn't want there to be any problems.
Diana Ross

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunites.
Diana Ross

So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me, because I'm happy that I have them; I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside, like anger.
Diana Ross

James Caan

You have to be very careful when you let someone win.
James Caan

Showing up every day isn't enough. There are a lot of guys who show up every day who shouldn't have showed up at all.
James Caan

You're the only one who's closing your eyes at night. There's no one else who can do it for you.
James Caan

I think we have to believe in things we don't see. That's really important for all of us, whether it's your religion or Santa Claus, or whatever. That's pretty much what it's about.
James Caan

One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
James Caan

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.
James Caan

There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it.
James Caan

Leonard Nimoy ("Spock")

A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies... literally... and develop your own film and make prints.
Leonard Nimoy

But if you're talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures and what it is you want to say.
Leonard Nimoy

For me it's all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me.
Leonard Nimoy

I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.
Leonard Nimoy

I am not Spock.
Leonard Nimoy

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.
Leonard Nimoy

I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old.
Leonard Nimoy

I certainly don't live in a kosher home although I was raised in a kosher environment.
Leonard Nimoy

I deal with this spiritual issue every day - either shooting or processing or sorting or discussing or having conversations - I'm in constant contact with it.
Leonard Nimoy

I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.
Leonard Nimoy

I'm attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable.
Leonard Nimoy

I'm touched by the idea that when we do things that are useful and helpful - collecting these shards of spirituality - that we may be helping to bring about a healing.
Leonard Nimoy

I've been working with photography for many years.
Leonard Nimoy

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.
Leonard Nimoy

Most of my images have been done in-studio, under very controlled lighting conditions. There have been a few that have been shot in nature, but even then they were shot almost exclusively at night, and again, under controlled lighting conditions.
Leonard Nimoy

My dream concept is that I have a camera and I am trying to photograph what is essentially invisible. And every once in a while I get a glimpse of her and I grab that picture.
Leonard Nimoy

My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That's why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I'm searching for, or searching to express.
Leonard Nimoy

My wife and I are affiliated with a temple here in Los Angeles. We feel very close to the congregation and to the rabbi, who happens to be my wife's cousin and who I admire greatly. I talk to him regularly but I consider myself more spiritual than religious.
Leonard Nimoy

Other times, you're doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos.
Leonard Nimoy

Some words having to do with the death of the people in the World Trade Center attack had been added, and when I got to it, I had this overwhelmingly emotional experience. I struggled to get through the words; tears were streaming down my cheeks.
Leonard Nimoy

Jeff Healey

Hi, I'm Jeff Healy of the Jeff Healy band. Don't drink and drive. I don't... you're blind!
Jeff Healey

I always knew, that in some way, I'd be connected to, and involved in, the music business.
Jeff Healey

I progressed through so many different styles of music through my teen years, both as a player and a vocalist, particularly the jazz and pop of the early 20th Century.
Jeff Healey

Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians, but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto, people like the Walsh Brothers, David Wilcox, Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience.
Jeff Healey

The three years following the release of See The Light were a whirlwind.
Jeff Healey

Patti LaBelle

A diva is someone who is a perfectionist, who does her best in her craft.
Patti LaBelle

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.
Patti LaBelle

I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.
Patti LaBelle

I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to anybody.
Patti LaBelle

I have to go 150 percent or nothing at all.
Patti LaBelle

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.
Patti LaBelle

I keep showing decade after decade that I am a real performer.
Patti LaBelle

I love Canadians because I don't see very much racism in Canada.
Patti LaBelle

I never thought I would be singing for the world.
Patti LaBelle

I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.
Patti LaBelle

I was very shy. I'm still shy.
Patti LaBelle

I'll perform all the way to the grave.
Patti LaBelle

I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.
Patti LaBelle

I'm no different than you.
Patti LaBelle

I'm very shy in a crowd.
Patti LaBelle

I'm very spontaneous.
Patti LaBelle

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.
Patti LaBelle

People with no humor, they're outta my life.
Patti LaBelle

So if anybody wants to get me something, get me 60 crabs - one for each year. I don't want no diamonds, I don't want no shoes, I don't want no party. I want some crabs.
Patti LaBelle

So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.
Patti LaBelle

Steve McQueen

I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.
Steve McQueen

I'm not sure that acting is something for a grown man to be doing.
Steve McQueen

Ric Ocasek (The Cars)

I could never be a country person, sitting around trees trying to write a song. I would rather be in the middle of society, whether it's growing or crumbling.
Ric Ocasek

I love walking down the street and seeing faces and drama and happiness and sadness and dirt and cleanliness.
Ric Ocasek

Never mind a world that can't see past brutality.
Ric Ocasek

Once they're on paper, they're gone. I like to do as much with the words, as far as image goes.
Ric Ocasek

People are strange. We're all morticians. Hey, what's on TV?
Ric Ocasek

Refusing to ask for help when you need it is refusing someone the chance to be helpful.
Ric Ocasek

Secrecy is the enemy of efficiency, but don't let anyone know it.
Ric Ocasek

Sometimes you want to run away, sometimes you think you do, but you never had a dream like this before and you don't want to ask for more, sometimes you leave a mark before you know the score.
Ric Ocasek

The most important thing to a lot of people, is to belong to something that's hip or whatever. To be a part of something that's not society, just a clique.
Ric Ocasek

There's more to light than the opposite of dark.
Ric Ocasek

They're caught where there's no way out or where you can't see out. What are you going to do about it? I don't have the answer. If I did there would be no insane asylums.
Ric Ocasek

Your high points and your low points. High points don't last that long, it's a high and it happens. It's great at the moment but you really can't live on it.
Ric Ocasek

George Benson

As my career has progressed, I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest jazz cats on the planet. But that doesn't change my desire to entertain folks. That's really who I am.
George Benson

I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.
George Benson

I listen to other guitar players, yeah. It gives me new concepts and shows me where the instrument is going for the future and it is going some places. There are some musicians who are really putting out a good vibe with new theories. I try and keep up.
George Benson

My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn't imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer.
George Benson

The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish.
George Benson

Rosie O'Donnell

I find this proposed amendment very, very, very, very shocking. And immoral. And, you know, if civil disobedience is the way to go about change, then I think a lot of people will be going to San Francisco.
Rosie O'Donnell

I think the actions of the president are, in my opinion, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president. I am stunned and I'm horrified.
Rosie O'Donnell

The equality that we are all entitled to, as citizens of this democracy, can't be avoided by some religious dogma of a President who's is supposed to believe in the notion of separation of church and state. And he frankly doesn't.
Rosie O'Donnell

We are losing the democracy that we're trying to sell in the Mideast and everywhere else right here in our own nation.
Rosie O'Donnell

Bruce Willis

After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
Bruce Willis

But the action film genre is gonna have to come up with some new bad guys.
Bruce Willis

Every day I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately I have a great group of friends who help me do this.
Bruce Willis

Everybody, no matter how old you are, is around 24, 25 in their heart.
Bruce Willis

I hate government. I'm apolitical. Write that down. I'm not a Republican.
Bruce Willis

I hate working out. Because I work out for films now solely I come to associate it with work.
Bruce Willis

I just have more fun when I get to try new things - and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.
Bruce Willis

I like having the dough to come and go as I please.
Bruce Willis

I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don't wear makeup in real life. It's just part of the gig, that's all.
Bruce Willis

I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.
Bruce Willis

I'm really just a regular guy who has had an incredibly blessed life.
Bruce Willis

I've always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.
Bruce Willis

If you catch him, just give me four seconds with Saddam Hussein.
Bruce Willis

Justin Timberlake is terrific in this film. I told him it's time to stop singing.
Bruce Willis

My wife heard me say I love you a thousand times, but she never once heard me say sorry.
Bruce Willis

On the one hand, we'll never experience childbirth. On the other hand, we can open all our own jars.
Bruce Willis

They look right. And you move left.
Bruce Willis

Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.
Bruce Willis

Violence - look, we live in a violent world, man. This country was founded on violence. Who's kidding who?
Bruce Willis

You can't undo the past... but you can certainly not repeat it.
Bruce Willis

Danny DeVito

I developed that for a long time. I also developed 'Sugar Sweet Science' at New Line and that didn't happen. That was a boxing movie. And between all that there were a couple of other things.
Danny DeVito

I didn't do it because of the underlying greed that's prevailing, but it is about greed, doing the right thing at the right time using your clout when you have it and what for and what reason.
Danny DeVito

I don't know. I think it's funny! I think it's funny! I go, what? It's so absurd. I'm alone.
Danny DeVito

I go out into the woods at night, the secret thing happens and the guy is obviously standing there naked in the woods. So I just went on a diet immediately. I got all those creams and started rubbing!
Danny DeVito

I lay on the ground, but then I can't reach - I don't want to take my foot out of the tub - but I've got to call somebody because I've got to get a band-aid or something to stop the bleeding.
Danny DeVito

I'll tell you one thing, it's a cruel, cruel world.
Danny DeVito

I'm always studying and I've been doing it for a long time now.
Danny DeVito

I'm shooting in Brooklyn, we've got all kinds of crap going on, and I'm all alone now in a big hotel suite that you can't believe the size of it and a thing sticks in my foot and I just think it's the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.
Danny DeVito

In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin.
Danny DeVito

It's a first for me. It's my first nude scene.
Danny DeVito

It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.
Danny DeVito

It's just an ice bucket with a bottle in it. The two flute glasses are little tray. I got to shut the curtains. I'm in my boxer shorts and shirt. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed. But I want to shut the blinds so it's really dark in the room.
Danny DeVito

Of course I've got lawyers. They are like nuclear weapons, I've got em 'cause everyone else has. But as soon as you use them they screw everything up.
Danny DeVito

So we see Edward as a young man on the road and he meets a giant and he brings the giant to a circus where he meets a Miss Calloway. He sees the woman of his dreams and I am the only one who knows who she is.
Danny DeVito

So, you pick this stuff here and this stuff there and then you see things in certain ways and you start visualizing and thank God I get the chance to do this. It's really the greatest thing in the whole wide world.
Danny DeVito

The son has always felt like he was a footnote in one of the stories the father tells. The father is an amazing storyteller and one of the tales that he tells is how he met his wife.
Danny DeVito

There are two dilemmas that rattle the human skull: How do you hang on to someone who won't stay? And how do you get rid of someone who won't go?
Danny DeVito

This big part flies off on the floor. The other part goes like this and lands in my foot! Standing up! It's standing in my foot! Right in the side of my foot. The flute glass. I think I'm like in one of my own pictures.
Danny DeVito

We did 'Erin Brockovich,' we did 'Man on the Moon,' we did 'Living Out Loud,' but now I'm going to keep going.
Danny DeVito

Well, you know, I feel like it's about a lot of things. The reason that I made it was because I thought it was really funny and unique and just a different genre.
Danny DeVito

Bret Michaels (Poison)

Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.
Bret Michaels

I am truly independently owned and operated.
Bret Michaels

I'm addicted to creating and writing.
Bret Michaels

I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.
Bret Michaels

Thoroughly read all your contracts. I really mean thoroughly.
Bret Michaels

Michael Caine

A lot of my best parts I've been the second choice for, so you never get too egotistical about anything.
Michael Caine

Alfie was the first time I was above the title; the first time I became a star in America.
Michael Caine

Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing. You get one comedy script to every 20 dramas.
Michael Caine

At 69, I got the girl! And it wasn't a 68-year-old girl, either.
Michael Caine

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Michael Caine

Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write.
Michael Caine

English is clipped in speech. Texas is exactly the opposite.
Michael Caine

For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.
Michael Caine

Funny things happen to you in movies for silly reasons.
Michael Caine

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.
Michael Caine

I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
Michael Caine

I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
Michael Caine

I read books like mad, but I am careful to to let anything I read influence me.
Michael Caine

I see myself as 38, but you don't notice it.
Michael Caine

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
Michael Caine

I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
Michael Caine

I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.
Michael Caine

I'm a sort of boy next door. If that boy has a good scriptwriter.
Michael Caine

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.
Michael Caine

I'm the audience's representative on earth.
Michael Caine

John Mayer

Everybody is just a stranger, but that's the danger in going my own way.
John Mayer

High School is like a spork: it's a crappy spoon and a crappy fork, so in the end it's just plain useless.
John Mayer

Hopefully people can see my music is tethered to my brain.
John Mayer

I feel my shows are like a late-night talk show that we settle down and do every night.
John Mayer

I feel strikingly domestic. We're in our own world with two busses and trucks.
John Mayer

I hope that what it comes down to at the end of the day is that people believe that I believe what I'm singing. It comes down to being believable. You don't have to be likeable; generally, though, I think I am.
John Mayer

I like giving people something they don't want to miss the next time. It's a show with little twists and turns and curves. It has me being silly and stupid and compassionate and completely deep.
John Mayer

I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily.
John Mayer

I'd like to think the best of me was still hiding up in my sleeve.
John Mayer

I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
John Mayer

I'm not as surprised in going from playing 1,000 seats to 4,000 seats as I was from 100 to 500 seats.
John Mayer

I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen.
John Mayer

If you get half a million, at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people, if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.
John Mayer

Numb is the new deep, done with the old me, and talk is the same cheap it's been.
John Mayer

People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them.
John Mayer

Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day.
John Mayer

Tom Scholz (Boston)

And sometimes I actually start to think human life is just as cheap to corporate America as animal life, so long as there are big profits to be made.
Tom Scholz

Everybody's seen a stream or a wood they knew replaced by a strip mall.
Tom Scholz

I was a fixer, a builder - an inventor - ever since I can remember.
Tom Scholz

Most people live their life around what other people do.
Tom Scholz

Music is an escape for me.
Tom Scholz

People have been convinced that growth for growth's sake is a good thing.
Tom Scholz

The public has been sold a bill of goods about the free market being a panacea for mankind.
Tom Scholz

Turning corporations loose and letting the profit motive run amok is not a prescription for a more livable world.
Tom Scholz

Virtually every magazine, newspaper, TV station and cable channel is owned by a big corporation, and they've squashed stories that they don't want the public to know about.
Tom Scholz

We need a free media, not just freedom of speech.
Tom Scholz

Martin Fry

I don't really like groups that make the same statement over and over again. It's good, but kind of predictable.
Martin Fry

I wanted a name that would put us first in the phone directory, or second if you count ABBA.
Martin Fry

Sinatra was pretty astute - he used the best songwriters around, he used all the resources, he covered every song from the era basically.
Martin Fry

Aidan Quinn

I can't control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can't control.
Aidan Quinn

I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
Aidan Quinn

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
Aidan Quinn

Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
Aidan Quinn

Tammy Faye Bakker

I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.
Tammy Faye Bakker

I shop, therefore I am.
Tammy Faye Bakker

I wake up every morning and I wish I were dead, and so does Jim.
Tammy Faye Bakker

You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God.
Tammy Faye Bakker

You don't have to be dowdy to be a Christian.
Tammy Faye Bakker

Andy Gibb

Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis.
Andy Gibb

Girls are always running through my mind. They don't dare walk.
Andy Gibb

I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.
Andy Gibb

I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.
Andy Gibb

I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It's only fair that I always try to give them the very best that's in me. After all, I need them more than they need me.
Andy Gibb

I wasn't eating. I wasn't sleeping. All I was doing was cocaine. I stayed awake for about two weeks, locked in my bedroom. I went down from a 142 pounds to 110 pounds.
Andy Gibb

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
Andy Gibb

I've been working at performing for five years now. I've been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16, 1 was performing in bars; I could have had legal problems, but it's also the only way to get to know what music is all about.
Andy Gibb

In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.
Andy Gibb

Songs don't just come out of the air. They take time, but it's good fun, too. Maurice gave me encouragement.
Andy Gibb

There is nothing to compare with the instantaneous feedback a singer gets from the people sitting in front of him. That is where it all comes together - all the rehearsing and working to get everything just exactly right.
Andy Gibb

Victoria was just as much in love with me as I was with her. We could not bear to be apart for a single second. We were like two lovers shipwrecked on a desert island. There was no world outside our love.
Andy Gibb

Patricia Heaton

Again, I find it difficult to be taken care of and rarely acknowledge it, and every act he does registers, but I also just need to verbally acknowledge him and hug him.
Patricia Heaton

And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.
Patricia Heaton

And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.
Patricia Heaton

And I think I have a perspective about Hollywood that you don't see very often in the press.
Patricia Heaton

Before we had the kids, my husband and I were traveling a lot and working and really enjoying our lives and each other. We both love the theater and books and travel and so we were really having a lot of fun.
Patricia Heaton

Boys wear their hearts on their sleeves. Even when they're trying to pull one over on you they're so transparent. Like men.
Patricia Heaton

But I think boys ultimately are easier than girls.
Patricia Heaton

Home life is a foreign environment for most guys. So it's natural to show them being idiots at home.
Patricia Heaton

I don't remember my mother ever playing with me. And she was a perfectly good mother. But she had to do the laundry and clean the house and do the grocery shopping.
Patricia Heaton

I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.
Patricia Heaton

I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.
Patricia Heaton

I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes.
Patricia Heaton

I just have always felt that I think we know that it's an ensemble show, and it's very hard to pick a show to submit when you're nominated, because usually everyone has a very strong part in every episode.
Patricia Heaton

I know the situations that we do every week are all ones that I encounter in my life or will encounter.
Patricia Heaton

I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.
Patricia Heaton

I think Raymond is very honest about human relationships.
Patricia Heaton

I was not an easy kid.
Patricia Heaton

I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.
Patricia Heaton

I'm always dissing Ray and making fun of him, talking about his money.
Patricia Heaton

I'm not good at accepting help.
Patricia Heaton

Ron Howard

Everyone should have a moment with Ron Howard in their life to give you faith in our industry.
Sally Kirkland

Happy Days, which we did for 11 years, we did with three cameras in front of a live audience. Very special. We had a party every Friday night. The boys, Ron, Henry, they grew up on that show.
Marion Ross

I had a good time working with Russell Crowe, Ron Howard and Ed Harris. It was a great cast and Russell worked really hard, doing tons of research and questioning everything.
Jennifer Connelly

Ron allowed us to see right away the private piece of a person about to become very public. I suspect we're going to see more of her very private world - Laura's private experience. I'm not sure yet how public she's going to be about the actions she's going to have to take.
Mary McDonnell

Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing, lovely man, but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity.
Christine Baranski

That's a great feeling to know that I'm going into a project that I have no idea what will become of that movie, but I really trust Ang Lee. And I really trusted Ron. It's just really nice to work with people that you feel that way about.
Jennifer Connelly

Well, I don't know what Ron has in mind, but I do know about the arc of the show. Looking at how intuitive and instinctive Eddie and I play, that is the sort of thing that leads into sexual chemistry. I wouldn't be surprised if it emerged.
Mary McDonnell
