Mike Meyers

And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.
Mike Myers

And I thought, when I have kids, that's the sort of well told, silly, and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic, a fairy tale classic.
Mike Myers

Austin sounds a little bit like Aston Martin, which is the type of car James Bond would drive.
Mike Myers

Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour.
Mike Myers

Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.
Mike Myers

Dr. Evil got shortchanged in the first one. The family dynamic between Scott and Dr. Evil - the adventures of being an evil single parent - needed to be explored.
Mike Myers

Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.
Mike Myers

Europe is weird songs that would never make it in America.
Mike Myers

Europe to me is young people trying to appear middle-aged and middle-aged people trying to appear young.
Mike Myers

For me, everything definitely comes from music.
Mike Myers

I do miss Saturday Night Live, that's for sure. There's nothing like it. I just hosted, and I felt I'd only been away for a week.
Mike Myers

I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.
Mike Myers

I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.
Mike Myers

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
Mike Myers

I loved the logistical reality of a guy who wants to take over the world, yet who has a family too.
Mike Myers

I think that Scottish people, like Canadians, are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic.
Mike Myers

I think when I have kids and grandchildren I will be very proud to have them watch this movie.
Mike Myers

My dad loved to laugh. He was very funny and very silly.
Mike Myers

My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He'd often come out with this stuff.
Mike Myers

My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking ginger beer.
Mike Myers

Joey Ramone (The Ramones)

For better or worse, MTV sort of bridges the whole country together almost like the BBC does in England. It's opened up everything so wide that it's possible for everyone to have different ideas.
Joey Ramone

I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.
Joey Ramone

The Ramones own the fountain of youth. Experiencing us is like having the fountain of youth.
Joey Ramone

Well, I think we're the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.
Joey Ramone

Sugar Ray Leonard

Aaron Pryor wants to get into the ring with me. He wants to be able to retire, and he will. For health reasons.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Ali's belief in himself was something I picked up on, and it's become my own philosophy.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Although it was a great accomplishment to win a gold medal, as soon as they put it on you, that's it; your career is over.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Before I fight, I always pray that no one gets hurt.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Before the start of the '76 Olympics, I'd had 160 amateur fights. I won 155 and lost five.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Boxing brings out my aggressive instinct, not necessarily a killer instinct.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it's better to give than to receive.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Boxing was the only career where I wouldn't have to start out at the bottom. I had a good resume.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Duran always disturbs me. The guy is just weird. Before our first fight, both Duran and his wife gave my wife the finger.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Generally, the more weight you put on, the less effective you are.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Holyfield is nothing but class, and I think he's a breath of fresh air for the sport.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I think an athlete should be honest. I know it's difficult, but if a guy knocked me on my can, I couldn't very well say, I slipped.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I think I've become one of the best finishers in boxing; if I hurt a guy, I normally take him out.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I want my fights to be seen as plays that have a beginning, a middle and an end.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
Sugar Ray Leonard

I'll think, If this is his first punch, how are the others gonna feel? That's the only fear I have for myself.
Sugar Ray Leonard

Sid Vicious

American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except a bit more boring.
Sid Vicious

I just cash in on the fact that I'm good looking, and I've got a nice figure and girls like me.
Sid Vicious

I was the only guy with any bit of anarchy left.
Sid Vicious

I'll die before I'm 25, and when I do I'll have lived the way I wanted to.
Sid Vicious

I'm not chic, I could never be chic.
Sid Vicious

I'm not vicious really. I consider myself to be kindhearted. I love my mum.
Sid Vicious

I've only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror.
Sid Vicious

The band broke up because I couldn't bear Rotten anymore because he was an embarrassment with his silly hats and his, like, shabby, dirty, nasty looking appearance.
Sid Vicious

Undermine their pompous authority, reject their moral standards, make anarchy and disorder your trademarks. Cause as much chaos and disruption as possible but don't let them take you ALIVE.
Sid Vicious

We are better than anyone, ain't we? Except for the Eagles, the Eagles are better than us.
Sid Vicious

We're really quite nice and friendly, but everyone has a beastly side to them, don't they?
Sid Vicious

You can't arrest me, I'm a rockstar.
Sid Vicious

You just pick up a chord, go twang, and you're got music.
Sid Vicious

Candice Bergen

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.
Candice Bergen

Beauty set up distance between other people and me. It warped their behavior.
Candice Bergen

But it was hard to leave because the show's been so important in our lives.
Candice Bergen

But when I disappeared, it sort of pissed me off, that guys get to go on being sexual until they're seventy or eighty, and we disappear at forty-five or fifty.
Candice Bergen

Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.
Candice Bergen

Glamorized... am I glamorous?
Candice Bergen

Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.
Candice Bergen

I admit that Post-it note sheets that adhere to virtually any surface are now my substitute of choice for retention.
Candice Bergen

I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell you.
Candice Bergen

I certainly love doing comedy and feel most comfortable near it.
Candice Bergen

I couldn't hold it together today. George Clooney asked me if I was OK, and I practically collapsed. I couldn't stop crying, I had to go off sobbing like an idiot.
Candice Bergen

I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.
Candice Bergen

I got the role I loved the most at a point in my career when most women are being phased out.
Candice Bergen

I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Candice Bergen

I have never appreciated a quiet moment with a friend as much, a quiet moment with a book and I think part of that is my obsession with being older and time going faster and it's become increasingly sweeter for me.
Candice Bergen

I have never savored life with such gusto as I do now.
Candice Bergen

I never have really said much about the whole episode, which was endless. But his speech was a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable and nobody agreed with that more than I did.
Candice Bergen

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home.
Candice Bergen

I was getting offers. I had just turned them down. Then I realized I should be grateful that at age 54, people were still offering me film roles.
Candice Bergen

I've never felt more comfortable in my skin, I've never enjoyed life as much and I feel so lucky.
Candice Bergen

Don Rickles

Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
Don Rickles

The old days were the old days. And they were great days. But now is now.
Don Rickles

When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
Don Rickles

Who picks your clothes - Stevie Wonder?
Don Rickles

Bob Seger

Every now and then you'll nail one that's really, really special. And that's what you live for.
Bob Seger

Great sex is wonderful while it's happening, but who remembers great sex they had in 1983?
Bob Seger

I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
Bob Seger

I just fell into the Dylanesque idea of recording. He is real fast.
Bob Seger

I never say never, because I don't want to be one of those guys.
Bob Seger

I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
Bob Seger

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Bob Seger

I write a lot of songs people don't hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish 'em all. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.
Bob Seger

I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
Bob Seger

I'm just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
Bob Seger

I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.
Bob Seger

If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
Bob Seger

My management tells me, Don't be optimistic, because it's the young people's world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you're a classic rocker. I don't know if you're gonna get the play.
Bob Seger

Radio is so fragmented, it's unbelievable.
Bob Seger

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I've gotta rest it for a night. So it's the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.
Bob Seger

We've got to practice three weeks, get the kinks out, then we've got to practice three weeks with the crew, and then go out for four months. It's just a huge chunk of time out of life.
Bob Seger

You can't get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I'd want the best people and the best stuff.
Bob Seger

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
Bob Seger

Bing Crosby

I think popular music in this country is one of the few things in the twentieth century that have made giant strides in reverse.
Bing Crosby

My golf is woeful but I will never surrender.
Bing Crosby

There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn't do for me... We spend our lives doing nothing for each other.
Bing Crosby

Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it "white".
Bing Crosby

We'd dub the one that came off best into the final transcription. It gave us a chance to ad lib as much as we wanted, knowing that excess ad libbing could be sliced from the final product.
Bing Crosby

Michelle Pfeiffer

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
Michelle Pfeiffer

I have days when I just feel I look like a dog.
Michelle Pfeiffer

I look like a duck. It's the way my mouth curls up, or my nose tilts up. I should have played Howard the Duck.
Michelle Pfeiffer

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
Michelle Pfeiffer

I'm a perfectionist, so I can drive myself mad - and other people, too. At the same time, I think that's one of the reasons I'm successful. Because I really care about what I do.
Michelle Pfeiffer

Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.
Michelle Pfeiffer

Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.
Michelle Pfeiffer

Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bight side rather than the dark side all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.
Michelle Pfeiffer
