I wasn't that wild about that. I told them basically if they were really going to want to bring back heavy metal to a program on MTV, then they are really going to have to get in touch with what real heavy metal is.
Phil Anselmo

I told the record company I didn't feel the need to be at red-carpet events. I wanted a career. But I wanted to keep myself intact as a person.
Enya

My mother was told she couldn't go to medical school because she was a woman and a Jew. So she became a teacher in the New York City public school system.
Marilyn Hacker

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.
Orlando Bloom

I grew up in a world that told girls they couldn't play rock 'n' roll.
Joan Jett

With regard to the moral and religious condition of the slaves, I cannot, either from what I observe, or from what is told me, consider it in any way gratifying.
Frederick Law Olmsted

If someone had told me years ago that sharing a sense of humour was so vital to partnerships, I could have avoided a lot of sex!
Kate Beckinsale

If I were a writer, how I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature. Lovely.
Don DeLillo

Every nut who kills people has a Bible lying around. If you're looking for violent rape imagery, the Bible's right there in your hotel room. If you just want to look up ways to screw people up, there it is, and you're justified because God told you to.
Penn Jillette

The only place we were really told to tone it down - where other people would use the word censorship, but I wouldn't - was when we did MTV right after the Beavis and Butt-head thing.
Penn Jillette

I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
Clara Barton

He told me he was working as an interpreter in a doctor's office in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I was living at the time, and he was translating for a doctor who had a number of Russian patients. On my way home, after running into him, I just heard this phrase in my head.
Jhumpa Lahiri

John Candy knew he was going to die. He told me on his 40th birthday. He said, well, Maureen, I'm on borrowed time.
Maureen O'Hara

Some time ago, I told Larry King that I planned to live to be 102. I still do.
Maureen O'Hara

When I was young, I was told that I had a sulky, pouty face.
Maureen O'Hara

I've been told by doctors and surgeons that I have the energy of ten men who have normal jobs.
Gary Busey

I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.
John Malkovich

Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo.
Paul Simon

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.
Leo Durocher

Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!
