Capitol Quotes - BrainyQuote

News, Works, Everybody

Love, Trust, Here

For me, in the third book, when Peeta gets brainwashed by the Capitol, that's going to be fun to play. The rest of the time he's very much into Katniss, and for that to get turned around and to play it the other way, that's going to be very exciting. Josh Hutcherson

Play, Very, Other

The summer before my senior year in college, I talked my way into an unpaid internship on Capitol Hill.

College, Capital, Weeks

Politics, Filibuster

Not every dollar spent to gain influence on Capitol Hill comes from a big global industrial behemoth.

Elizabeth Flock

Small, Year, Big

Loved, Studio, Albums

I'm not one who wants to micromanage the Capitol Police whatsoever.

Tom Graves

I Think, Some, However

It is an honor to join my former colleague in Congress, Jim McCrery, and the very talented team at Capitol Counsel. Charles Boustany

Congress, Counsel, Very

Means, Mandate, Use

Committee, Works, Governors

Hill, Will, Anybody

I didn't want to be a solo Westlife - covers and ballads - and the reason I signed with Capitol Records was because they wanted me to write songs myself. It was pretty scary, but they put me in a studio in Nashville with some new songwriters, and the results were pretty good. Shane Filan

Reason, Some, Studio

Capitol Records were very keen for me to write and see how I got on; I think that is what defined my sound. The first session I had was with two young up-and-coming writers, Nick Atkinson and Tom Wilding, and I went into a session a bit nervous because I hadn't written that many songs before. Shane Filan

I Think, Very, Records

When I finished Westlife, we had - Louie Walsh is still managing me - I was lucky to have options from different labels such as Sony and Universal. When we met Capitol and Nick Raphael, I just believed in them the most, and it looked like they believed in me the most. Shane Filan

Lucky, Had, Nick

Well Washington DC what are you going to do. They think the capitol steps are the state of the art in comedy. You try to drag them into the 20th century let alone the 21st and they refuse to come with you. Harry Shearer

Art, Think, Going

Work, Capitol Hill, Saw

City, Small, Some

John Edwards

Very, Symbol, Divisive
