Famous Quotes & Sayings

Marsha Norman

Think of a musical as a string of pearls. If you don't have a string, you can't put the pearls around your neck.

Rachel Cusk

The true self seeks release, not constraint. It doesn't want to be corseted in a sonnet or made to learn a system of musical notations. It wants liberation, which is why very often it fastens on the novel, for the novel seems spacious, undefined, free.

Barry Mann

I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction.

Beck

Being able to take musical ideas through every iteration is attractive to me. Granted, not everyone's going to want to listen to that, but it should exist.

Joel Murray

I'm a little musically inclined; I play the clarinet and the saxophone.

Dan Brown

For me, writing is a discipline, much like playing a musical instrument.

Jason Moore

For your first musical in New York, to go to Broadway and be nominated for a Tony is a dream come true.

Dianne Wiest

Woody is so musical in his filmmaking. I've never worked with anyone I've trusted so completely. He won't let you hit a false note.

David Naughton

Musical theatre is something I'm familiar with, I've been doing that.

Anthony Kiedis

I didn't really get to Led Zeppelin until I was in my 20s.

Freddie Mercury

We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.

Jimmy Page

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

Ronnie Hawkins

I am a cross between Carl Perkins and Led Zeppelin.

Robert Plant

There's still time to change the road you're on.

Robert Plant

I'm too old for Led Zeppelin.

Wesley Morris

No, I don't know why Bobby and Peter Farrelly bothered with a 'Three Stooges' movie, either. But if they're anything like some men I know, their love for Moe, Larry, and Curly (and an assortment of fourth bananas) is deep, abiding, and unembarrassable. In other words: How could the Farrellys not?

Valerie June

My voice is who I am, who I was when I was 3, and who I am going to be when I am 90 years old. When I hit the stage and people do not know who I am, they automatically assume, before I open my mouth, I am going to sing a Bob Marley song!

Chris Carter

'The X-Files' from the beginning was a very visual show, and with Bob Mandel directing the pilot and Dan Sackheim being involved in the production of the pilot and directing the first episode, they brought a visual style to it that was elaborated on by so many good directors.

Elizabeth Wurtzel

I'm a huge Springsteen fan, and yet if either he or Bob Dylan had to be erased from the world's hard drive, I would save Bob Dylan's work for sure - he's the greater talent, and by leaps and bounds and skyscrapers and rocket blasts. But Bob Dylan is an alien to his public.

Don Rickles

Bob Hope was totally regimented. I go in and say a line like, 'Hi Bob' and I'd have to do it five times, and then Bob would take me to the writers to say the line different ways. He wouldn't let me ad-lib.

Cathy Freeman

I was going to shave it. It went in two parts. I got a bob first but it kept falling all over my face. Then it was off, short. The main reason it was long was because my mother cut it short when I was little and I was trying to make up for that.

David Perno

That was a good effort all the way around. Gentry got a good break on it and I thought he was going to make a great play, but Bobby was running right out of the box. If he's not hustling right out of the box, he doesn't make that happen.

Jim Tressel

We can sneak Bobby in there. He's a good tight end. He's quick, he's physical. He knows how to block. He's smart. I heard someone say yesterday in a staff meeting that if he wanted to, he would know the play book in a half-hour. That's just the kind of football player he is.

Roger McGuinn

I open all my concerts with 'My Backpages,' written by Bob Dylan, and close them all with 'May the Road Rise to Meet You,' written by Roger McGuinn and Camilla McGuinn.
