[Explaining his disillusionment with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he made his first films} Metro was really a star-builder, no doubt about that. You were wrapped in cotton wool. ... I was encouraged to emulate Robert Taylor, who came to the studio every day...

Okra is the closest thing to nylon I`ve ever eaten. It`s like they bred cotton with a green bean. Okra, tastes like snot. The more you cook it, the more it turns into string.

That`s why I take on a variety of roles. I`ve played everything from a gay dancer in Cruising (1980) to Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club (1984). James Remar is a student of life. I`m expressing myself by acting. I`m learning about myself and making a livi...

This stadium is old, and I`m sure it`s probably as old as the Cotton Bowl, ... But the city has not kept it up in the condition that they probably should.

They thought that I did conceive there was a difference between them and Mr. Cotton... I might say they might preach a covenant of works as did the apostles, but to preach a covenant of works and to be under a covenant of works is another business.

The recent hurricane activity is playing a role in the cotton market, ... especially Georges as it skirts around Florida and several regions in the South.

The problem with the article is it compared wholesale and retail. That`s like comparing a shirt on the rack to the cotton bole as it`s harvested in the field. That`s a big difference.
Barbara Loe Fisher
That was where my dream began to take hold, of not havin` to pick cotton and potatoes, and not havin` to be uncomfortable, too hot or too cold. That in itself had driven me to try to find some better way of life.

Possibly you are not aware of the fact that the largest sum given by any contributor to the fund is but a trifle when compared with the losses suffered by nearly all the firms in the cotton trade during the disastrous years of the American war.

Oh, I started out young. They handed me a cotton sack when I was about 8 years old. Give me a little small one, tell me to fill it up. I never did like the farm but I was out there with my grandmother, didn`t want to get away from around her too far.

Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn`t work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science.

It`s cotton and linen rather than paper and it`s oil that`s imbedded in it so it trap the dirt throughout the middle rather than just on the top that way a lot more air is going to come through
Christopher Ford
I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.

I started to work with cotton fabrics. I used cotton because it`s easy to work with, to wash, to take care of, to wear if it`s warm or cold. It`s great. That was the start.

I pledged California to a Northern Republic and to a flag that should have no treacherous threads of cotton in its warp, and the audience came down in thunder.

I had never, ever drunk beer in high school, and by the time I got to Tech we were having these parties out in the cotton fields and getting so drunk. I was the champion beer drinker; suddenly I was pouring it down my throat... Insane! Insane!
Al Woods
I developed my style by pickin` a lot of cotton, plowin` that ole mule every day. I just got the rhythm, and any rhythm I need I know where it is; I know where to find it.

Cotton Owens was leading and daddy was second. They came up on me and I moved over to let them pass. Cotton went on, but daddy bumped me in the rear and my car went right into the wall.
