Amy Winehouse

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.
Amy Winehouse

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.
Amy Winehouse

I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.
Amy Winehouse

I just dress like... I'm an old black man. Sorry! Like I'm an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it's still the '50s.
Amy Winehouse

I know I'm talented, but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it's not where it begins and ends.
Amy Winehouse

I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.
Amy Winehouse

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
Amy Winehouse

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.
Amy Winehouse

I saw a picture of myself when I came out of the hospital. I didn't recognize myself.
Amy Winehouse

I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.
Amy Winehouse

If I died tomorrow, I would be a happy girl.
Amy Winehouse

My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they're going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.
Amy Winehouse

Since I was 16, I've felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
Amy Winehouse

Kid Rock

A lot of people told me that I'm committing musical suicide with my sound.
Kid Rock

And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world.
Kid Rock

Are some women and children going to die? Yeah. But it's doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help.
Kid Rock

As far as my street cred goes, I'll always have that, because I always hang with the kids. I'll jump right off the stage and buy them a beer. I'll be a star on stage, but I'll always hang with the kids.
Kid Rock

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.
Kid Rock

But honestly, it's pretty weird; there are girls who'd do absolutely everything just to get a backstage pass. I don't know what it is, but really, when you're on national TV in America the girls love you. They all want you! And I'm not complaining!
Kid Rock

But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody.
Kid Rock

Europeans don't seem to have the groupie mentality.
Kid Rock

Going out hanging out with the troops, and you know it's kind of all summed up in the TV show, I don't what else I can say about it. It's a great thing to do, something I'm definitely proud of.
Kid Rock

I always believed it would happen and stuck to my guns.
Kid Rock

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.
Kid Rock

I care less if I can't be part of your scene because I am the scene. I am everything that is.
Kid Rock

I could care less about what people think. I'm a Devil Without A Cause.
Kid Rock

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.
Kid Rock

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.
Kid Rock

I know every Skynyrd and about all Johnny Cash songs.
Kid Rock

I like to make music, I like rap music. Even if I'm white, I support that music. If I want to support it or any other white kid wants to support it more power to them.
Kid Rock

I never said I wanted to be around for a long time. I always said I wanted to be here for a good time.
Kid Rock

I signal with an independent label, Continuum. After that I put out a totally independent record, sold fourteen thousand of them from my basement, bought a house, started raising my kid, made a decent living.
Kid Rock

I think I did every drug known to mankind, smoked crack, boozed, dropped acid, you name it.
Kid Rock

I think what I've learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.
Kid Rock

I want as many people as possible to hear my music. I'm happy to entertain people by being a star.
Kid Rock

I was the little white kid who rocked the turntables.
Kid Rock

I'm actually a pretty decent human being, and when I'm home I'm straight as an arrow.
Kid Rock

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But... if it's real, you'll feel it.
Kid Rock

It's not that I'm Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes now, but I've got my priorities in order.
Kid Rock

My past is a bit checkered.
Kid Rock

My shows aren't about trying to save some place, because I don't feel that's the right venue for it. That's my politics right there: Don't bring politics to my shows.
Kid Rock

My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock and blues.
Kid Rock

On a scale of the United States, the Hollywood influence on what comes out, that's not the majority views of across the country. What we read in Us Weekly or People magazine, or Entertainment Tonight, it's not what the majority of the country is thinking.
Kid Rock

Rock 'n' roll is much easier if you're white.
Kid Rock

That's what I love from metal, and that's what I love from hip-hop. That's what I love from any music that's hard, that's got an edge to it-The attitude in it.
Kid Rock

That's why I called my record Devil Without a Cause - I'm a white boy who's so sick of hearing that white kids are going to steal rap.
Kid Rock

They believed you can't mix rock, country, and rap, and that crossover is dead. I always knew it would work. And it will always work as long as you're really into it and like what you're doing.
Kid Rock

Why does anything ever happen? Some things happen and some don't.
Kid Rock

You know, when I started I liked Big Macs and Budweiser and I still like Big Macs and Budweiser.
Kid Rock

You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presence. That's the secret.
Kid Rock

Dennis Quaid

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
Dennis Quaid

I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
Dennis Quaid

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
Dennis Quaid

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.
Dennis Quaid

I want to work with great people. Great people really make you better.
Dennis Quaid

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.
Dennis Quaid

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.
Dennis Quaid

If you're going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Dennis Quaid

My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.
Dennis Quaid

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.
Dennis Quaid

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.
Dennis Quaid

There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.
Dennis Quaid

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.
Dennis Quaid

When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death.
Dennis Quaid

You don't have to be alone with your thoughts anymore. You don't have to process anything. You can call up someone to do something to instantly make you sort of feel better.
Dennis Quaid

Kevin Costner

Being a celebrity is probably the closest to being a beautiful woman as you can get.
Kevin Costner

Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.
Kevin Costner

Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.
Kevin Costner

I am not a cynic.
Kevin Costner

I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.
Kevin Costner

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.
Kevin Costner

I don't think I ever take huge risks, though I'm not scared of doing so.
Kevin Costner

I don't think I'd have been as good as Bruce was. He was a better JFK than I would have been.
Kevin Costner

I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me.
Kevin Costner

I haven't tried to buffer myself. I like rolling the dice.
Kevin Costner

I like when my face tingles, when the hair on the back of my neck stands up.
Kevin Costner

I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.
Kevin Costner

I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day.
Kevin Costner

I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.
Kevin Costner

I wanted very much to do Traffic and at one point it looked like I was going to work on it. And then, of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones had her relationship with Michael Douglas and it suddenly didn't happen.
Kevin Costner

I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics.
Kevin Costner

I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'
Kevin Costner

I'm a pretty convenient foil for a lot of people.
Kevin Costner

I'm getting those familiar feelings, and I'm just going to enjoy the process of getting to know someone again.
Kevin Costner

I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody, they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter, but I think you can recognise my films.
Kevin Costner

I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it.
Kevin Costner

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.
Kevin Costner

I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.
Kevin Costner

I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?
Kevin Costner

If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.
Kevin Costner

If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
Kevin Costner

If you think of 'Liberty Valance' or 'The Searchers,' there are moments in there that you'll never, ever forget... And it does not matter what century you are from.
Kevin Costner

In America, politicians do whatever to get re-elected, and a lot of decisions that were being made at that time by Kennedy were certain not to get him re-elected.
Kevin Costner

Lincoln was the greatest speaker and he was ridiculed for how he looked, you know?
Kevin Costner

Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.
Kevin Costner

One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
Kevin Costner

President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken O'Donnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat.
Kevin Costner

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
Kevin Costner

We all have that burning question about what happens if we lose somebody we love, especially if we lose them tragically. We wonder what fear was going on, we wonder if we could have reached out and touched them, held their hand, looked in their eyes, been there.
Kevin Costner

We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
Kevin Costner

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.
Kevin Costner

What are we blaming? Is this Vietnam? We made a movie, it didn't make much money. I'm gonna be really happy if somebody watches it in 10 years' time and really enjoys it.
Kevin Costner

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.
Kevin Costner

When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors.
Kevin Costner

When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world, in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.
Kevin Costner

You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.
Kevin Costner

You have to pick the stories that you want to be involved with and the end game is you'd like to be a part of a hit. But I think your moral obligation is to follow your own heart.
Kevin Costner

"J-LO!"

And I deal with all that by being like a perfectionist. But that's okay.
Jennifer Lopez

And I love the idea of spending the whole day in bed with my lover.
Jennifer Lopez

And I never ask what I'm doing the next day. I don't want to know what I'm doing tomorrow. It's much too overwhelming. So I just go day by day, without knowing.
Jennifer Lopez

Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
Jennifer Lopez

But from the time I was very little, it was something I would do all the time, just sing, dance and act. So it wasn't something that was fake or contrived as I got older.
Jennifer Lopez

I can only speak for myself, and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And, hopefully, they'll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day, I just want my work to speak for itself.
Jennifer Lopez

I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge.
Jennifer Lopez

I don't get anything for free. I pay for all my beauty treatments.
Jennifer Lopez

I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter, and produce movies and everything. So there'll be no time when I feel I've done it all.
Jennifer Lopez

I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.
Jennifer Lopez

I have the stardom glow.
Jennifer Lopez

I judge people on how they smell, not how they look.
Jennifer Lopez

I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.
Jennifer Lopez

I loved the last album, and it was one hundred percent me. But this is like me two years later, who understands a little bit more about music and understands a little bit more about making an album. I wrote a lot more.
Jennifer Lopez

I swear to God, I don't remember anything Gwyneth Paltrow was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt and I ever heard about her work.
Jennifer Lopez

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing.
Jennifer Lopez

I'd be stupid not to take into consideration that there are certain things people will not consider me for because my name is Lopez. And I know I can do any kind of role. I don't want anybody to say, Oh, she can't pull this off. So those are barriers that you have to overcome.
Jennifer Lopez

If anyone can figure out how to balance my celebrity and my dual careers in music and film, it's me. I don't feel frightened; I feel challenged.
Jennifer Lopez

If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.
Jennifer Lopez

In Hollywood, she's revered, she gets nominated for Oscars, but I've never heard anyone in the public or among my friends say, 'Oh, I love Winona Ryder.'
Jennifer Lopez

It used to bother me being portrayed as this bitchy person, but now I feel that the public understands me better than some writer. There are people who know who I really am, and that's good enough for me.
Jennifer Lopez

It's a shame to call somebody a 'diva' simply because they work harder than everybody else.
Jennifer Lopez

J. Lo is also an homage to my fans. That's what fans call me on the streets, and I like it. So giving the album this title is my way of telling them that this is for them, in appreciation of their support.
Jennifer Lopez

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don't think I would have been very happy. I'd be in front of the jury singing.
Jennifer Lopez

People assume I'm out there having this great life, but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life, making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line, you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.
Jennifer Lopez

People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I'm shaped this way, I must be scandalous - like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it's just the opposite.
Jennifer Lopez

Puffy produced four of the tracks on the album. Those are the four songs that are collaborations between Puffy and me. And he gives me my space to work even when we work together, like with my producer and my vocal coach.
Jennifer Lopez

So I sat down with him and portrayed more the side of the character he needed to see. Which is what I do when I go in for an interview for a part I like. As much as you think you're dealing with creative people, they see you for what your image is out there.
Jennifer Lopez

The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. It's about conquering that bear and letting him go.
Jennifer Lopez

There are certain people that are marked for death. I have my little list of those that treated me unfairly.
Jennifer Lopez

They're making me out to be a serial marrying person or something. I'm laughing at that.
Jennifer Lopez

This is the man my mother lived for. My career means something now because I've worked with Robert Redford.
Jennifer Lopez

You can't take life for granted.
Jennifer Lopez

You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.
Jennifer Lopez

You have to come in and be that character when you walk into the room. That's what one of my first acting teachers taught me. You know, don't go in there being Jennifer and then expect to flip and change, because they're not going to have that imagination.
Jennifer Lopez

You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.
Jennifer Lopez

Chris Squire (Yes)

A nightmare is two bassists on stage.
Chris Squire

I know I always worked hard on making sure we came out with the best possible product and of course we were working with four other people, you have to balance that as well.
Chris Squire

Pull the good out of it and not worry about the drawbacks.
Chris Squire

You're only as big as your last hit.
Chris Squire

Joe Cocker

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.
Joe Cocker

Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it?
Joe Cocker

Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around.
Joe Cocker

For me, the focus are songs, which really get the audience moving.
Joe Cocker

God, I'm just a fat bald guy, 60 years old, singing the blues, you know?
Joe Cocker

I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.
Joe Cocker

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.
Joe Cocker

I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don't know if you are really getting through or not.
Joe Cocker

I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.
Joe Cocker

I was in Germany when the wall came down.
Joe Cocker

I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old.
Joe Cocker

I've been touring now since about '68.
Joe Cocker

It's all a matter of hearing what I like and seeing if I can make it fit into my style.
Joe Cocker

It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?
Joe Cocker

It's nice to get a response from the artists that I cover.
Joe Cocker

Once you get into entertaining a quarter of a million people, it's a very weird place to be.
Joe Cocker

Over the years, I've worked with just about everybody.
Joe Cocker

Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them.
Joe Cocker

The world is a tougher place to live in than it was back then, as we come into the computer age.
Joe Cocker

Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened.
Joe Cocker

Well, over the years, I've developed a stable of songs of which I'm known for and never get tired of singing.
Joe Cocker

Well, we have this place in Telluride, Colorado. It's somewhere I can just get away and relax and think.
Joe Cocker

Yeah, one of the main ways is for songs that make me want to move.
Joe Cocker
