Velvet Quotations
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. Henry David Thoreau A throne is only a bench covered with velvet. Napoleon Bonaparte I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band. Courtney Love I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me. Martin Gore I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground. Martin Gore Though gay lifestyles have certainly moved into the open, there's little evidence that society has become more open in its basic attitudes or that entertainers should feel cozy in emerging from the velvet underground. Peter Bart I was a schooled musician. When I made 'Blue Velvet', I told everyone what to do. I was an arranger. I learned music in school I told the band to play this. I told the guitar to do that. Bobby Vinton Sometimes I worked with just a background of a rock or a tree or black velvet, and just had to imagine the whole thing. Fay Wray For the Gulf States, perhaps no forage crop of which the available seed supply is relatively abundant exceeds the velvet bean in potential value. This legume possesses also the ability to make a crop when planted relatively late. David F. Houston I questioned everything. I didn't see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me. Kyle MacLachlan |
