110186. It was really fun. Well, Bobby was just basically a folk singer. He didn’t play with any bands or anything, like all the rest of us. Just played his guitar and sang his songs. – Barry McGuire

110187. If you listen to the left track on their album, if you get The Best of the Mamas and Papas, you listen to the left track, you can still hear a little bit of my voice. My son discovered that once. – Barry McGuire

110194. I was very laced with drugs myself, but Fred seemed to be even more so than me. That might have had something to do with it. That might have had something to do with nobody wanting to play my records, too, I don’t know. – Barry McGuire

110195. But times changed, and I changed, and I didn’t feel that way anymore. The Beatles were happening. I think that was probably the main thing. The Beatles just changed the whole world of music. – Barry McGuire

110210. I study pitchers. I visualize pitches. That gives me a better chance every time I step into the box. That doesn’t mean I’m going to get a hit every game, but that’s one of the reasons I’ve come a long way as a hitter. – Mark McGwire

110211. I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn’t act foolish, but this is history. – Mark McGwire

110318. That’s a job that it makes a few friendships, but it probably breaks more. – Michael McKean

110319. Sometimes we drop in and do an acoustic set somewhere, and that’s really fun to take all these insanely loud songs, and to do them quiet. It’s really a sight to see… or to hear! – Michael McKean

110320. I’m kind of the town pump. I think I have a pretty good ear for what sounds good in this style. – Michael McKean

110326. I tend to discourage people from calling me ‘Sir Ian,’ because I don’t like being separated out from the rest of the population.

110327. I headed out to have a breather at the stage door, dressed in my tramp costume. I had my bowler hat between my feet and there were passers-by, and one of them turned back and said, ‘Do you need help, brother?’ And $1 fell into my hat! – Ian McKellen

110329. It’s only fair that stable gay relationships of long standing should have the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. I know the image of gay marriage is to some people horrific and ludicrous. – Ian Mckellen

110339. Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef – but that’s only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn’t ever believe that I was good enough to be come one. – Ian Mckellen

110340. Acting is a very personal process. It has to do with expressing your own personality, and discovering the character you’re playing through your own experience – so we’re all different. – Ian Mckellen

110344. There’s no sex in Middle Earth. – Ian McKellen

110345. Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There’s more to life than you know and it’s all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it. – Ian Mckellen

When we’d suggested doing it, the Theatre Royal management had said, ‘Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.’ As it happened, every single ticket was booked for every single performance, and this confirmation that our judgment was right was sweet.

110348. You always think that 70 is the end of the road: ‘Somebody died when they were 73; good life’. You’re closer to death, and you better make sure you don’t waste too much of your time doing things you don’t want to do. No point in saying things you don’t believe in. – Ian McKellen

110349. Personally, coming out was one of the most important things I’ve ever done, lifting from my shoulders the millstone of lies that I hadn’t even realized I was carrying. – Ian Mckellen

110350. The payment of taxes is an obvious and insistent duty, and its sanction is usually punitive. – Joseph McKenna

110351. I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create and destroy money. And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people. – Richard McKenna

110352. Being dead is being weak and walled off. – Richard McKenna

110353. You can’t just plain die. You got to do it by the book. – Richard McKenna

110358. It’s a Fox thing, the bad-boy image. They’re trying to type me out. There are worse things in life, you know. I’m just really excited about the opportunity. – Ben McKenzie

110359. I’ve always been kind of a loner. Continue to be. – Ben McKenzie

110360. I had one year of struggle. My parents were always there, but I didn’t want to rely on them. Now it’s moving pretty fast. I’m not rich, but obviously this is fantastic. All I know to do with money is put it in a shoebox anyway. – Ben McKenzie

110472. I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear.
