I got beat up up in Texas because my bootlaces were the wrong color.
Fairuza Balk

I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
Janis Joplin

I grew up in Texas, but that was 20 years ago. Last year, in Fort Worth, they had hail the size of softballs. We're seeing more and more powerful storms, of all types, almost on a biblical level.
Bill Paxton

I grew up training and showing Arabs all over the US. Three of my four were bred on my farm in Texas. Thanks everyone! Hope you'll watch tomorrow. It's going to be another great look back.
Catherine Crier

I guess what bothers me so much about what I now see going on in both Washington and in Texas is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong.
Chris Bell

I had been in so many towns and cities in America with John Kennedy, but I was not with him in Dallas, Texas, on November 21, 1963.
Pierre Salinger

I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that.
F. Murray Abraham

I just want Texas to be number one in something other than executions, toll roads and property taxes.
Kinky Friedman

I knew more about Texas than the Texans and when they told me I would find summer here I smiled knowingly.
Richard H. Davis

I knew that when I resigned from the University of Texas that I would never coach again.
Darrell Royal

I literally paid my way through the University of Texas with my umpiring.
Jim Evans

I made more money yesterday than I ever thought I'd make in an entire lifetime. But it's like somebody's going to take it all away from me and I'll be back in Texas, installing them damned irrigation wells. I didn't like that when I was sixteen. And I know I wouldn't like it when I'm eighty.
Jimmy Dean

I mean to say that Congress can hereafter decide whether any states, slave or free, can be framed out of Texas. If they should never be framed out of Texas, they never could be admitted.
William H. Seward

I remember just lying in the grass, staring at the clouds, wondering where they drifted off to after they floated over Texas. I never would have imagined that one day I would follow one of those clouds and find myself in Hollywood.
Renee Zellweger

I stand before you as the governor of Texas but also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers. Ray Perry who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there and Amelia who made sure that my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed, included hand sewing my clothes until I went off to college.
Rick Perry

I think Karl Rove saw that in George W. Bush early on and understood the impact that he could have on Texas politics and probably on national politics.
Ed Gillespie

I think that the very fact that CBS fought and fought and fought in Texas, in New York.
Floyd Abrams

I think the University of Texas has the chance to become the finest public university in the country.
Tom Hicks

I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.
Ann Richards

I was born in Texas and I lived there 'till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew.
Michelle Rodriguez
