Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ginger Mullins

Those photo albums where in the laundry room, and that's where (investigators) said the fire started. Everything else inside that room was burned beyond recognition, just like most things everywhere else in the house. How those photo albums survived, I have no idea.

Nick Rhodes

When we finished "Ordinary World" we all looked at each other and said, if this doesn't work, then we're doing something wrong. But again, I have to say, as a complete album, I really think this one makes a statement that the other ones haven't yet. I mean, I hope we do an even better album in '98 or '99, but certainly this one has said a lot that I wanted to have Duran Duran say for the '90s.

Lykke Li

If you take the hard facts of a failed relationship, it's pretty grim. But if you make an album out of it, and if the violins represent all the tears, you create something magical out of something very normal.

William C. Bryant

Music is not merely a study, it is an entertainment; wherever there is music there is a throng of listeners.

Rick Wright

We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.

I remember when we were in rehearsals and we were going through it, because we rehearsed before we went to Toronto, and it's more of the same. She and I had to deal with a lot of stuff in this movie and we really have to take ourselves there. It actually started in rehearsals, and just revisiting that piece of it all. Just the way Monica is and what she says and the way she looks at me, it really affects me throughout rehearsals and throughout the scenes.

Alexander Pope

He knows to live who keeps the middle state, and neither leans on this side nor on that.
