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.

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.

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
