A lot of people who were the best in their fields. I was fortunate enough to be friends with Sammy Davis, Jr. - I spent a lot of time with Sammy. I was over at his house almost every night. Those people were very special and very special for me.
James Darren

And I remember looking at Gray Davis and, you know, Gray is the consummate political operative.
Mike Curb

And it was where I learned how to play tennis and eventually became captain of the tennis team at the school and was on the Junior Davis Cup in New York City.

Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing.
Jan Garbarek

Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can't run a state.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.
Ziggy Marley

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.
Charlize Theron

I heard Mr. Wild Bill Davis. I heard him play in 1930 and he told me that it would take me fifteen years just to learn the pedals, the pedals of the organ and I got mad.
Jimmy Smith

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.
Miles Davis

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.
Herb Alpert

I may be paralyzed from the waist down, but unlike Gray Davis, I'm not paralyzed from the neck up.
Larry Flynt

I saw Al Foster with Miles Davis the other week. It was beautiful. But, the whole thing was, Al Foster played as well as everybody else, but all of them were quite brilliant under Miles Davis' direction.
Charlie Watts

I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play, it has a poignancy to it.
Jim Jarmusch

I used to be friends with Miles Davis. He didn't like many folks. I lived across the street from him.
Rip Torn

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.
Sally Kirkland

I've been close to Bette Davis for thirty-eight years - and I have the cigarette burns to prove it.
Henry Fonda

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.
Pete Sampras

If Miles Davis hadn't died it would have been interesting to do an album with him, but there wasn't much else that would have got me into the studio... although Herbie Hancock has just been in touch about doing something and that would be an interesting combination.
Phil Collins

In 1978, the tradition of running from village to village with a message was revived. that first run was from Davis to Los Angeles, a distance of 500 miles.
Dennis Banks

In the movies, Bette Davis lights two cigarettes and hands the second one to James Cagney. It was just so glamorous and romantic.
