I'm not one of those James Joyce intellectuals who can stand back and look at the whole edifice... It was a slow process for me to just crawl out of it, like a snake leaving his skin behind.
Frank McCourt

I'm now an agnostic but I grew up on the King James version, which I'm eternally grateful for.

I've been to two stadium gigs in my life. One was James Brown and the other was Pink Floyd. They both sounded the same. I couldn't tell the difference between James Brown and Pink Floyd. I've never liked stadiums.
Boz Burrell

I've been writing about James Fenimore Cooper. He was not a writer. Here was a man who was 30 years old and had never put anything more than his signature on paper.
Leslie Fiedler

I've studied a lot of great people over the years - Pete Seeger, James Brown - and tried to incorporate elements that I've admired, though I can't say I dance like James.
John Fogerty

If you know anything about James Whitcomb Riley, you know that Little Orphan Annie is one of the most fantastic characters who ever lived in America before Charlie Chaplin.
Marguerite Young

If you put Willem Dafoe, Liam Neeson and James Woods in a room together, there wouldn't be room for anyone else.
Dana Delany

In '87, I used to do this awful, awful James Brown impression.
Wanda Sykes

In 1944 James Arthur and Minnie Susan were added to the Marx household.

In my early days I was a contract player at Universal and I had a wonderful mentor named Monique James, who was head of talent there, and she used to drag me on sets to do parts.

In the days of Gary Cooper, James Stewart etc, film stars personified the better aspects of human nature.
Alexander Walker

In the last James Bond movie, the villain was a culture captain, a tycoon of culture, a Murdoch figure. It's not as if people don't know what is going on.
Thomas Frank

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

It was really important in my relationship with James Caan that I understood the relationship between the family and the father.
Jeanne Tripplehorn

It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.
Terence Stamp

It's very easy to confuse Sean Connery with James Bond. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, people believe the cake is more real than the baker.
Judd Nelson

James Bond has a license to kill, rockstars have a license to be outrageous. Rock is about grabbing people's attention.
Gene Simmons

James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.
Ken Follett

James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had.
Al Sharpton

James Brown is important because he decorates the clock correctly and he's good with lower mathematics. Don't get me wrong - he's good.
