Jane Byrne I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand. Rodney Dangerfield I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land. Jon Stewart I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word. David Mamet I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere. David James Elliott I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I live in a neighborhood so bad that you can get shot while getting shot. Chris Rock I love the idea of a beautiful neighborhood that represents the very best of American values, but also as a fun backdrop to some darker, deliciously sneaky things going on in people's lives. Marc Cherry I mean that the function of the police is to solve problems that have law-enforcement consequences in a way that is based on a genuine partnership with the neighborhood in both the venting of the problem and the discussion of the solution. James Q. Wilson I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark. Dick Gregory I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood. Terry Brooks I think the Lower East Side inspires me. That whole neighborhood, a lot of the people that I worked with, seeing what we've gone through in life, being given an opportunity to understand who I am; my identity, my culture, and my roots. Luis Guzman I wanted to be that cranky old guy that stands on his porch and yells at the neighborhood kids. Robert Lansing I wanted to become a champ - I was surrounded by champs in my family and in my neighborhood - and because of this stupid accident, I lost my opportunity. Olivier Martinez I was a very observant child. The boys in my books are based on boys in my neighborhood growing up. Beverly Cleary I was black growing up in an all-white neighborhood so I felt like I just didn't fit in. Like I wasn't as good as everybody else or as smart, or whatever. Halle Berry I was born in Champaign in 1918. From the neighborhood elementary and intermediate schools, I went to the University High School in the twin city, Urbana. James Tobin I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism. Shia LaBeouf I was, somewhere in the neighborhood of about 300 jumps. Hugh Shelton I'd worship the ground you walked on if only you walked in a better neighborhood. Billy Wilder |
