86198. I went with Lionel Hampton for three years. Out of that came a trip to Europe. – Quincy Jones

86199. I got in the school band and the school choir. It all hit me like a ton of bricks, everything just came out. I played percussion for a while, and stayed after school forever just tinkering around with different things, the clarinets and the violins. – Quincy Jones

86200. When I was about five or seven years old my mother was placed in a mental institution and so we were with our father who worked very hard, and we had to figure a lot of things out. – Quincy Jones

86201. Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old shared a little of what he is good at doing. – Quincy Jones

86202. I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn’t have MTV, we didn’t have television. – Quincy Jones

86209. Nations are not thugs. They are bodies of intelligent people. – Rufus Jones

86210. I’m not saying that Sam J. Jones was Flash Gordon – there’s no such thing. No actor can be the person, that’s a bunch of crap. People pay to see an actor be himself, whether he plays Hamlet or whatever. – Sam J. Jones

86211. I’m not going to be able to play it like somebody else. – Sam J. Jones

86212. The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it’s not reality, but who cares? There’s too much reality these days. – Shirley Jones

86213. We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship. – Shirley Jones

86214. It’s great to see that celebrities can be just like us – that they too have their highs and lows, that they don’t always wake up looking their best, that they have bad habits and annoying traits. – Shirley Jones

86215. I’m a fan of Jerome Kern and Gershwin. That’s my kind of music. – Shirley Jones

86216. I wanted some family structure and stability, and that’s what The Partridge Family afforded me, not only financially but in the fact that I could be at home with my kids. – Shirley Jones

86217. I had done 25 motion pictures prior to The Partridge Family and nobody knew my name. – Shirley Jones

86218. I feel very fortunate to have been associated with people such as Rodgers and Hammerstein. I think they were geniuses of their time. – Shirley Jones

86219. After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise. – Shirley Jones

86220. The discoloration is very minimal. I have not turned blue. The extent of skin discoloration is not even remotely near what the news media are saying. It is barely noticeable. – Stan Jones

86221. We know for a fact that the body is able to process colloidal silver quite well if it is made correctly and the dosage levels and concentrations are not too high. – Stan Jones

86222. I can feel a cold coming on right now, so I am going to start using collodial silver again. – Stan Jones

86224. In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al – I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together. – Star Jones

86228. You can have financial strength, professional strength, emotional strength but for me without spiritual strength none of the rest of it matters. – Star Jones

86230. Yes and, you know, I can’t use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight. – Star Jones

86231. We fight a lot, you know, but that’s family. We may be dysfunctional but we’re still family. – Star Jones

86232. This is the time that I really miss being in my courtroom because I believe that that’s the last place in this country where there’s supposed to be fairness. – Star Jones

86233. The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn’t do something you were going to die. – Star Jones

86236. No, you’re not allowed to be bossy when you’re married. You have to learn compromise, and compassion and patience. – Star Jones

86237. Oh, definitely and you know you take the bitter with the sweet but the benefits far outweigh the burdens of what I’ve been able to do for my family, my word. – Star Jones

86238. Yes, I know and then in the same time period within those nine years I lost 150 pounds. – Star Jones

86239. And I tried it and I felt, I guess I must have been pulled in by the red light of television and now I’ve been on TV since 1992. – Star Jones

86240. I realized that in those nine seasons I started out at about 225 pounds and I felt, you know, full figured fabulous woman but in those seasons I gained 75 pounds up to over 300 pounds all in front of the nation. – Star Jones

86241. I had started losing weight. I mean he didn’t know anything about the journey that I was on at that point obviously but from my highest weight of just over 300 pounds I lost about 45 pounds. – Star Jones

86242. I guess the President says the majority of the people didn’t elect him, he doesn’t have to listen to ’em anyway. – Star Jones

86243. I found that nothing that anybody else said to me would work. – Star Jones

86244. I felt good full figured. Morbidly obese I was unhealthy and dying. – Star Jones

86245. I’m fairly in tune with what’s private with my husband and with me. – Star Jones

86246. Barbara did the selecting and that’s probably the most brilliant thing was she put together a group of women, different backgrounds, different experiences. – Star Jones

86247. I was in the middle of a crossroads, which is a nice way of saying crisis, physically, emotionally and spiritually. You know the physical part. We just talked about it. – Star Jones

86269. I’d always thought that if Python was going to go on at all, it’d be nice to get into storylines. – Terry Jones

86270. Every age sort of has its own history. History is really the stories that we retell to ourselves to make them relevant to every age. So we put our own values and our own spin on it. – Terry Jones

86271. I like to drink to suit my location. – Tom Jones

86272. I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening. – Tom Jones

86273. I’ve always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn’t wear jewellery because it was stupid. – Tom Jones

86274. There’s plenty for me to do. There are more albums. I’ll record as long as I can and as long as my voice works as well as it does now and for as long as people want to hear me. – Tom Jones

86275. Winning the Outstanding Contribution award is great, because you know you have won in advance. Previously, I have been really nervous during the ceremony because you have no idea if you are going to get called up on stage. This time I could relax and enjoy myself. – Tom Jones

86276. You can’t be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it’s my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing. – Tom Jones

86277. I have had some pretty wild nights! I think the media keeps a very close eye on what people are up to these days. I was out with George Clooney a few nights ago and we had a great time. – Tom Jones

86278. As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving. – Tom Jones

86279. I haven’t become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It’s just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I’d consider moving back there one day. I never really left. – Tom Jones

86280. Acting is fun for me and it doesn’t really matter how, whether it’s hard work or easy work, it’s always fun. – Tommy Lee Jones

86281. I don’t fight anybody anytime or anywhere. – Tommy Lee Jones

86282. I look upon pride as a sin. – Tommy Lee Jones

86283. If military movies were automatically successful we’d make nothing but military movies. But seriously, patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common. – Tommy Lee Jones

86284. You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it’s these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them! – Van Jones

86285. There should be a moral principle there that says, let’s green the ghetto first. Let’s go to those communities where they have the least ability to pay for that retrofit and make sure they get that help, make sure they get that support. And give the young people standing on those corners the opportunity to put down those handguns and pick up some caulking guns and be a part of the solution. – Van Jones

86286. Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and no one else trying to hurt America. – Van Jones

86287. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future. – Van Jones

86288. Mr. Vice President, the most fiscally conservative thing this government has ever done, is to invest massively in the green part of the recovery. Because those green dollars are the hardest working dollars in the history of American politics. That same dollar that is being used to cut energy bills, is also cutting global warming gas emissions, is also cutting unemployment, is also cutting poverty, through retrofits it’s also raising the value of homes, is also by cleaning the air, cutting asthma rates. – Van Jones

86289. There is still the feeling that women’s writing is a lesser class of writing, that what goes on in the nursery or the bedroom is not as important as what goes on in the battlefield, that what women know about is a less category of knowledge. – Erica Jong

86290. No one ever found wisdom without also being a fool. Writers, alas, have to be fools in public, while the rest of the human race can cover its tracks. – Erica Jong

86297. The trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. – Erica Jong

86298. Where is Hollywood located? Chiefly between the ears. In that part of the American brain lately vacated by God. – Erica Jong

86299. Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness. – Erica Jong

86300. You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy. – Erica Jong

86301. Men and women, women and men. It will never work. – Erica Jong

86302. Jealousy is all the fun you think they had. – Erica Jong

86303. The stones themselves are thick with history, and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise. – Erica Jong

86304. Ambivalence is a wonderful tune to dance to. It has a rhythm all its own. – Erica Jong

86307. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. – Erica Jong

86308. Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood. – Erica Jong

86310. Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are. – Erica Jong

86311. Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes, especially if we are too lucky or too successful or too pretty, our misery is the only thing that endears us to our friends. – Erica Jong

86312. He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it. – Erica Jong

86313. I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change… I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. – Erica Jong

86314. I write lustily and humorously. It isn’t calculated; it’s the way I think. I’ve invented a writing style that expresses who I am. – Erica Jong

86315. If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more. – Erica Jong

86316. In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving – instead of actually getting up and leaving. – Erica Jong

86317. It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone. – Erica Jong

86318. Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed. – Erica Jong

86319. True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice. – Ben Jonson

86320. Neither do thou lust after that tawny weed tobacco. – Ben Jonson

86324. Talking is the disease of age. – Ben Jonson

86325. There is no greater hell than to be a prisoner of fear. – Ben Jonson

86326. They say Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom. – Ben Jonson

86328. This is the very womb and bed of enormity. – Ben Jonson

86329. Weigh the meaning and look not at the words. – Ben Jonson

86357. On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone. – Janis Joplin

86358. When I sing, I feel like when you’re first in love. It’s more than sex. It’s that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it’s gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills. – Janis Joplin

86359. I’m one of those regular weird people. – Janis Joplin

86360. I won’t quit to become someone’s old lady. – Janis Joplin

86372. The citizens of America expect more. They deserve and they want more than a recital of problems. – Barbara Jordan

86373. The imperative is to define what is right and do it. – Barbara Jordan

86374. We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done. – Barbara Jordan

86375. There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision. – Barbara Jordan

86376. One thing is clear to me: We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves. – Barbara Jordan

86378. Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap. – Barbara Jordan

86379. Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party. – Barbara Jordan

86382. We are a people trying not only to solve the problems of the present: unemployment, inflation… but we are attempting on a larger scale to fulfill the promise of America. – Barbara Jordan

86383. We call ourselves public servants but I’ll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good. – Barbara Jordan

86384. We cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the founders of the Republic. There is no way to improve upon that. But what we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny. – Barbara Jordan

86390. In other times, I could stand here and give this kind of exposition on the beliefs of the Democratic Party and that would be enough. But today that is not enough. People want more. – Barbara Jordan

86391. We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn’t hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition. – Barbara Jordan

86392. I never intended to become a run-of-the-mill person. – Barbara Jordan

86393. Life is too large to hang out a sign: “For Men Only.” – Barbara Jordan

86394. A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good. – Barbara Jordan

86395. But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants. – Barbara Jordan

86396. Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power. – Barbara Jordan

86397. Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment. – Barbara Jordan

86398. Even as I stand here and admit that we have made mistakes I still believe that as the people of America sit in judgment on each party, they will recognize that our mistakes were mistakes of the heart. They’ll recognize that. – Barbara Jordan

86399. For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future. – Barbara Jordan

86400. I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He’s just incapable of it. – Barbara Jordan

86401. I have confidence that we can form this kind of national community. – Barbara Jordan

86402. I think it no accident that most of those emigrating to America in the 19th century identified with the Democratic Party. We are a heterogeneous party made up of Americans of diverse backgrounds. – Barbara Jordan

86403. If we promise as public officials, we must deliver. If we as public officials propose, we must produce. – Barbara Jordan

86404. If you’re going to play the game properly, you’d better know every rule. – Barbara Jordan

86405. Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us. – Barbara Jordan

86409. Let us heed the voice of the people and recognize their common sense. If we do not, we not only blaspheme our political heritage, we ignore the common ties that bind all Americans. – Barbara Jordan

86410. Let’s all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable. – Barbara Jordan

86423. If you think the system – not you – but if your viewers think that the current political system is working well and serving the interest of our country, then what we’re doing will not be attractive. – Hamilton Jordan

86424. You mentioned Ross Perot. Mr. Perot jumped into the race at the last minute, had one issue that he ran on, the budget deficit, was in and out of the race a couple of times, and still got 20 million votes, didn’t have the Internet. – Hamilton Jordan

86425. We’re trying to build a platform utilizing the Internet that allows the good American people to speak out about their frustration about the polarized country that we live in politically. – Hamilton Jordan

86426. The difference today is that, in both parties, the very extreme elements control the nomination process. – Hamilton Jordan

86427. I went to my son’s graduation this weekend, and I heard a great quote I’ve never heard before from Albert Einstein. It was that the greatest danger to the world is not the bad people but it’s the good people who don’t speak out. – Hamilton Jordan

86428. I think the system is broken; most people think that it’s broken. And we think that what we’re going to do is invigorate the political system and allow for this country to be turned around. – Hamilton Jordan

86429. And when you start talking about the practicality of winning a race like that – you’ve got to remember we’re not talking about winning 51 percent of the vote. We’re talking about winning 36, 37, 38 percent of the vote. – Hamilton Jordan

86430. And a tiny number of people in a few states make these decisions, and we’re left with these options that are increasingly not attractive to the American people. – Hamilton Jordan

86431. If you had found the right candidate in 2000 or 2004, and you could have put that man or woman, given them ballot access in September of the election year, they could have won the election. – Hamilton Jordan

86432. We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world. – Hamilton Jordan

86433. There are two ways to worry words. One is hoping for the greatest possible beauty in what is created. The other is to tell the truth. – June Jordan

86434. One of the reasons I came to Berkeley was because I saw so many students of all different colors speaking so many different languages and ferociously presenting all these different views. I thought, this is the 21st century and I want to be here! – June Jordan

86435. We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived. – June Jordan

86436. So, poetry becomes a means for useful dialogue between people who are not only unknown, but mute to each other. It produces a dialogue among people that guards all of us against manipulation by our so-called leaders. – June Jordan

86437. That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes. – June Jordan

86438. The courts cannot garnish a father’s salary, nor freeze his account, nor seize his property on behalf of his children, in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat. – June Jordan

86439. The music of language became extremely important to me, and obvious to me. By the time I was seven I was writing myself. I was a poet. – June Jordan

86440. To tell the truth is to become beautiful, to begin to love yourself, value yourself. And that’s political, in its most profound way. – June Jordan

86441. My father was very intense, passionate and over-the-top. He was my hero and my tyrant. – June Jordan

86442. The first function of poetry is to tell the truth, to learn how to do that, to find out what you really feel and what you really think. – June Jordan

86443. Language is political. That’s why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that’s why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law. – June Jordan

86444. It means to educate myself incessantly about the world around me. – June Jordan

86445. In the process of telling the truth about what you feel or what you see, each of us has to get in touch with himself or herself in a really deep, serious way. – June Jordan

86446. I wrote those poems for myself, as a way of being a soldier here in this country. I didn’t know the poems would travel. I didn’t go to Lebanon until two years ago, but people told me that many Arabs had memorized these poems and translated them into Arabic. – June Jordan

86447. I think I have come to a place where I’m able to feel more comfortable about being honest. – June Jordan

86453. Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth. – June Jordan

86454. My father was both the person who gave me reason to learn how to fight and the one who taught me the basics of fighting. He would tell me that if it was a big fight, it would probably be uneven, it wouldn’t be fair. – June Jordan

86461. Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. – Michael Jordan

86467. If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. – Michael Jordan

86468. To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate. – Michael Jordan

86470. Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game. – Michael Jordan

86471. I’ve never been afraid to fail. – Michael Jordan

86472. As athletes, we’re used to reacting quickly. Here, it’s ‘come, stop, come, stop.’ There’s a lot of downtime. That’s the toughest part of the day. – Michael Jordan

86473. I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. – Michael Jordan

86482. Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation. – Michael Jordan

86483. It’s the opposite journey from what I’ve usually done with films. I find it very easy to go from, say, a lit, pleasurable environment, like what you see outside there, to a very dark place. But the opposite journey, which is what this movie takes, is much more complicated. – Neil Jordan

86484. The End of the Affair is almost like a play. – Neil Jordan

86485. It’s the same thing in a way, although writing a book is a very solitary thing. – Neil Jordan

86487. Never make a promise – you may have to keep it. – Neil Jordan

86488. No, I just thought of a story and wrote down what I saw. It was about two kids in Ireland who went around killing people. It was called Travelers, and it was made as an independent film. – Neil Jordan

86489. The Company of Wolves doesn’t belong in any category, so it’s difficult to prepare an audience for it. It’s not a horror film, it’s not a fantasy film, it’s not a children’s film – so what is it? – Neil Jordan

86490. The Company of Wolves is about how society teaches young women to look at themselves, and what to be afraid of. It’s about a girl learning that the world of sensuality and the unknown is not to be feared, that it’s worth getting your teeth into. – Neil Jordan

86491. The most difficult thing is the organization of people and the expression of your intentions. It’s very easy to have a picture in your head and to imagine that you’ve told everybody about what you need. – Neil Jordan

86492. There’s no point in making a film out of a great book. The book’s already great. What’s the point? – Neil Jordan

86493. Well, Company of Wolves was about that literally, about fairy tales. – Neil Jordan

86494. Well, I suppose I’m interested in ways of storytelling and in stories that are about storytelling. – Neil Jordan

86495. Well, if you’re talking about the current climate, there’s a lack of content in American film because I think people are deeply confused about their emotions, and they don’t regret certain aspects of their own foreign policy. – Neil Jordan

86496. Why should a horror film be just a horror film? To me, The Company of Wolves is a fairy tale; it’s got all those elements plus a lot more. And we know that fairy tales aren’t innocent any more. – Neil Jordan

86497. For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy. – Neil Jordan

86498. When you’ve written a movie, you then get together with a whole lot of people and make it. In many ways, I think it is far nicer to be with people rather than being completely solitary. – Neil Jordan

86499. It’s nice to work with Hollywood because there is never any question of resources put at your disposal to make a film as long as it is the right thing to do. – Neil Jordan

86500. I do enjoy working with writers. – Neil Jordan

86501. But everyone gets burnt, don’t they? Certain things are outside of your control. I suppose the only thing you can learn as a director is to not put yourself into situations where it can get outside of your control. And that’s what happened. – Neil Jordan

86502. For me now, it’s about what you would write and what you wouldn’t write, and that’s how I select what I am going to do. It can be quite nice being brought a concept by a studio for me to work on. – Neil Jordan

86503. I can’t do a film if I don’t start with the writing. – Neil Jordan

86504. And I think I often choose to do something because it’s quite different from what I’ve done before. – Neil Jordan

86505. I mean I grew up in Ireland, so one would have to be consciously blinkered not to have reflected on the issue of political violence because that was the story since I was 19 years old or 20. – Neil Jordan

86506. I took two years away from making films to write a novel. – Neil Jordan

86507. I’ve also worked hard portraying an Ireland which is fast disappearing. Ireland was a very depressed and difficult place in the 1980s, and I’ve tried to include that in the script. I worked really hard to find the heart of the book. – Neil Jordan

86508. I’ve had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like. – Neil Jordan

86509. In Dreams… well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it. – Neil Jordan

86510. It’s hard to know whether certain characters come to life or not, they either come to have their own life or they don’t. I’ve written many things in which the characters just remain inert. – Neil Jordan

86511. Initially with The Butcher Boy, there was this kid growing up in this strange, weird environment that I remember from when I was a kid. And Patrick’s vision was so complete there. – Neil Jordan

86512. Films have gotten leaner and leaner, cutting out all variations from the story line. – Neil Jordan

86518. I’d like to be able to tap with my action this low without buzzing. – Stanley Jordan

86520. September 11 stands on its own as a terrible tragedy. – Vernon Jordan

86521. What I know about this world is that white people will take care of themselves. And what I have learned is that if you are where they are on an equal basis, they cannot take care of themselves without taking care of you. – Vernon Jordan

86525. I’m here because I stand on many, many shoulders, and that’s true of every black person I know who has achieved. – Vernon Jordan

86526. I had a sense of what leadership meant and what it could do for you. So am I surprised that I am sitting up here on the 62nd floor of Rockefeller Plaza? No. – Vernon Jordan

86527. Every company, every boardroom in which I sit, has a plan, and they have objectives, goals, and a process. And to make it work, the pressure and incentive have to come from the top. – Vernon Jordan

86528. But there will come a time and a place to give back, and each individual will recognize that time and place. – Vernon Jordan

86529. A lot of companies make diversity a part of the performance goals against which an executive gets paid. Just as you have to make a certain sales number, you have to make a diversity number to get your bonus. – Vernon Jordan

86530. My mother was the president of the PTA at every school I attended. – Vernon Jordan

86531. You’re playing serious music, and you want to be taken seriously. When they get my age wrong on the program, I wish they’d make me older. – Leila Josefowicz

86533. The Indian race are waiting and praying. – Chief Joseph

86536. Some of you think an Indian is like a wild animal. This is a great mistake. – Chief Joseph

86537. Our people could not talk with these white-faced men, but they used signs which all people understand. – Chief Joseph

86538. My people were divided about surrendering. – Chief Joseph

86539. The white men told lies for each other. They drove off a great many of our cattle. Some branded our young cattle so they could claim them. – Chief Joseph

86541. We did not know there were other people besides the Indian until about one hundred winters ago, when some men with white faces came to our country. – Chief Joseph

86549. We gathered all the stock we could find, and made an attempt to move. We left many of our horses and cattle in Wallowa. We lost several hundred in crossing the river. – Chief Joseph

86550. We gave up some of our country to the white men, thinking that then we could have peace. We were mistaken. The white man would not let us alone. – Chief Joseph

86551. We had a great many horses, of which we gave Lewis and Clark what they needed, and they gave us guns and tobacco in return. – Chief Joseph

86849. When I was working on Eye of the Beholder, I played a character who is so aloof that my whole lifestyle became very aloof. If someone knocked on my door, there was a part of me that went into a rage, because I wanted to be isolated and alone. – Ashley Judd

86850. No, I don’t tolerate pressure from anyone about anything. – Ashley Judd

86851. I’ve been devoted to Alison Krauss for many, many years. – Ashley Judd

86852. People say that to me and I think what unites all my characters is that they are hurt; it’s most accurate to say I play characters that are hurt but are responding to their environment. – Ashley Judd

86853. It’s up to us to take pop culture back and to express quality and dignity for both boys and girls. – Ashley Judd

86855. Some Kentucky fans are a little more subdued. – Ashley Judd

86856. When I accept a role, I feel that as an artist I have to submit completely to the tutelage of my director. And while I expect to be heard and encouraged and honored, at the end of the day, man, it’s the way the director wants it. – Ashley Judd

86857. Yeah, I’ve had the privilege to know a lot of really talented people. – Ashley Judd

86858. You don’t stay married for 35 years by accident. I think that that’s willful and intentional and something that both people really want. – Ashley Judd

86860. I was always told I was special. And I was also assured that I had a gift and a purpose. – Ashley Judd

86862. Abstinence, being faithful and correct and consistent condom use are the only ways to successfully reach everyone when discussing HIV prevention. I believe that the abstinence message alone does not solve the AIDS epidemic. – Ashley Judd

86863. It’s funny, though, because when I first started going to races after we met, I was extremely nervous. It’s like being backstage and hoping you don’t trip over something or break an amp or accidentally speak into a live microphone, so I was really hesitant. – Ashley Judd

86864. I think that, as with marriage, you just know when it’s time to have kids. – Ashley Judd

86865. A lot of people over the years have been doing yoga and I think even more these days are expressing an interest in it. So there are a lot of manifestations of spirituality here in town. – Ashley Judd

86866. And it blew my mind when I started to get wind of the fact that they actually liked me being around. That was humbling, because Kentucky basketball is a big deal, and I am not the biggest fan – I am just the most notorious one. – Ashley Judd

86867. And of course there’s so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it’s obviously useful through the season. There are so many people, songwriters, who are around. – Ashley Judd

86870. I can’t think of anything I want and need that I don’t already have but at the same time, I’m not sated. – Ashley Judd

86871. I get lonely when I’m a Playstation widow. – Ashley Judd

86872. I have a lot of variety within me, and the dream role, I think, is actually a compilation of parts that express different aspects of my persona and personal interests. – Ashley Judd

86873. I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I’m living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone. – Ashley Judd

86874. I think it’s easy for me to connect to some people, and I don’t know if that’s the same thing as falling in love whereas before, I might have said it was. – Ashley Judd

86875. I think that being perceptive and having interests is nothing but an asset. – Ashley Judd

86876. I think that we give the impression, to carry on your metaphor, that we go a little faster than we actually do. I’m fairly lazy so I’m always interested in slowing down. – Ashley Judd

86877. I did a lot of hiking and I loved it. – Ashley Judd

86878. Well, I think there are artists who are more or less contemporary with Hopper who are more relevant. – Donald Judd

86879. You’re only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it’ll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves. – Donald Judd

86880. The attitude and capacity of the factory, the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture. – Donald Judd

86881. The older painting – well, it does have an effect all at once, I suppose, but it’s of a lesser intensity than a lot of the American work in the last ten or fifteen years. – Donald Judd

86882. There’s probably more in the American tradition than people give the place credit for. – Donald Judd

86883. They certainly aren’t connected with the old geometric art. My work isn’t geometric in that sense. – Donald Judd

86884. Tolstoy may not be showing that much of Russia at that time even. It’s hard to tell. You tend to associate the quality of the period with what’s lasted – what’s still good. And that quality becomes the whole period. – Donald Judd

86885. Usually when someone says a thing is too simple, they’re saying that certain familiar things aren’t there, and they’re seeing a couple maybe that are left, which they count as a couple, that’s all. – Donald Judd

86886. Well, there’s a morality in that you want your work to be good, I suppose. – Donald Judd

86887. Well, I don’t think anyone now would say that they’re painting the state of the culture of America. I think that’s too grand and pompous a thing for anybody to claim. – Donald Judd

86888. Well, in any art there are a lot of technical things that you can get to like. – Donald Judd

86889. Well, its very exasperating when you can’t get it right. – Donald Judd

86890. Stuart Davis has more to do with what the United States is like than Hopper. – Donald Judd

86891. I think most of the best new work is intended to have much more impact at once. – Donald Judd

86892. Well, I am not interested in the kind of expression that you have when you paint a painting with brush strokes. It’s all right, but it’s already done and I want to do something new. – Donald Judd

86893. And that Newman wasn’t, and yet to me Pollock is just as radical and unlike Expressionism as Newman. – Donald Judd

86894. Most art is fragile and some should be placed and never moved away. – Donald Judd

86895. After all, the work isn’t the point; the piece is. – Donald Judd

86896. Pollock looks unusual and radical even now. – Donald Judd

86897. And then we moved to New Jersey and I went to the Art Students League. – Donald Judd

86898. Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It’s a lot of work. I don’t mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot. – Donald Judd

86899. But I think that’s a particular kind of experience involving a certain immediacy between you and the canvass, you and the particular kind of experience of that particular moment. – Donald Judd

86900. I don’t think geometric art is… I don’t like to call it that. I don’t think it’s any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn’t have anything to do with purity. – Donald Judd

86901. I haven’t sufficient interest in objects or anything I can see around me to do what Oldenburg does. – Donald Judd

86902. I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting. – Donald Judd

86903. I recognize very much in Hopper that it does look like the United States; it looks like the 30’s and my first impressions of everything, all of which I have to deal with and which gets mixed up in my work and probably gets mixed up in everybody else’s work too. – Donald Judd

86904. I think most of the art now is involved with a denial of any kind of absolute morality, or general morality. – Donald Judd

86905. I think some of the things I deal with Hopper probably has dealt with also, since it’s somewhat the same environment and I have pretty strong reactions to what this country looks like. It looks pretty dull and spare, and you like this and dislike it and it’s very complicated. – Donald Judd

86906. But I think you have to – whatever the environment looks like, it does enter into people’s art work one way or another; it’s very remote or it isn’t. It’s remote in my work but it has to have a certain degree of ordinariness. – Donald Judd

86907. Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It’s OK to fail. If you’re not failing, you’re not growing. – H. Stanley Judd

86908. You will live your life secure in that you are no longer manipulated by what other people want you to do and be, but are directed by your own inner desires. – H. Stanley Judd

86909. You will now have a starting place and a destination, and you will be able to determine what it will cost you to get there. You will be going someplace. – H. Stanley Judd

86910. Don’t complain because you don’t have. Enjoy what you’ve got. – H. Stanley Judd

86911. A good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there. – H. Stanley Judd

86913. There are many paths but only one journey. – Naomi Judd

86915. Your body hears everything your mind says. – Naomi Judd

86916. We’re spirited and spiritual… and fun follows us around. – Naomi Judd

86917. They’re trying to tell us that we’re not right, so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can’t know who you are if you don’t spend time honoring yourself, and living in the present. – Naomi Judd

86918. I’ve had women tell me that when their daughters see them taking care of themselves, and being defined from within, and thinking for themselves instead of thinking about that silly culture out there, it’s powerful modeling. – Naomi Judd

86920. A dead end street is a good place to turn around. – Naomi Judd

86921. It will kill four times as many Americans as AIDS will over the next decade. I feel that what ever kind of disability God has given me, as an entertainer and as a public figure, it is so I can be a representative for others. – Naomi Judd

86922. Change is the one thing we can be sure of. – Naomi Judd

86923. We are losing our superstars like Johnny and June Carter Cash and that breaks my heart. – Wynonna Judd

86926. My music is about the journey, about love and the human experience. – Wynonna Judd

86927. My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It’s about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world. – Wynonna Judd

86928. Success takes us to the top and away from those we love. – Wynonna Judd

86929. The love of these people and of my fans mean more than any award or special accomplishment. – Wynonna Judd

86930. The mother-daughter relationship is the most complex. – Wynonna Judd

86937. There’s a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans. – Wynonna Judd

86938. Digital downloading of music has affected us all in adverse ways. – Wynonna Judd

86939. The failures and successes are necessary for learning. – Wynonna Judd

86940. Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given. – Wynonna Judd

86941. If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful. – Wynonna Judd

86947. I don’t take my fans’ love and dedication for granted. – Wynonna Judd

86953. I know that the internet has helped a new world audience find me. – Wynonna Judd

86954. I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals. – Wynonna Judd

86955. I’ve always known I wanted to be an actor. It never crossed my mind to be anything else. I think I probably decided for sure when I saw ‘Sounder’. – Christopher Judge

86956. People say that the Beavis voice doesn’t sound like me or some other voices. Butt-Head I think sounds like me. – Mike Judge

86957. Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something? – Mike Judge

86970. I think I do too many voices in these shows. I think it’s because we have trouble getting voice talent. – Mike Judge

86975. It’s amazing what we can get away with and what we can’t. But it’s not for me to decide. – Mike Judge

86976. Beauty and the Beast seemed like it all was really brown. The whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow, like Burger King or something. I don’t think I would have liked Beauty and the Beast at any age. – Mike Judge

86977. I almost didn’t name Butt-Head ‘Butt-Head.’ I came real close to calling him something else. – Mike Judge

86978. I don’t return anybody’s calls unless it’s going to mean extra money for me. And I’ve completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I’ve copped an attitude. – Mike Judge

86979. I like the Stooges. You know what movie I saw that I sort of discovered late was Jerry Lewis in ‘The Nutty Professor’. I really liked that. – Mike Judge

86980. I put the storyboard down and came back to it like two weeks later and saw that I had written ‘Butt-Head’ next to the picture, and it kind of made me laugh and I thought, Well, might as well go for every laugh you can get. – Mike Judge

86981. In order to have a plot, you have to have a conflict, something bad has to happen. – Mike Judge

86984. It seems like there’s a lot of people who just do not understand satire. They think it’s weird. There’s people who just don’t understand you portray something or just explore a character, it means you’re condoning it, saying this is the way to live. – Mike Judge

86985. All the Disney lead male characters always have this kind of John Davidson kind of look to them. They all look like the same guy, and all the females look like the same, and I think the guys are just way too big. – Mike Judge
