The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.
Louis Armstrong
[On the shooting for his writing/directing debut Nil by Mouth (1997)]: I set aside three weeks for rehearsals. Those long scenes are like a play. But I wanted things loosely structured, more like jazz. Though there was very little improv on screen, someti...
Gary Oldman
I wanted to be a jazz pianist, but I wasn`t good enough. I got into city college because I didn`t have the grades to get into university. I took acting because it was a way to get three credits. I just needed three credits and my friend told me to take ac...
Dustin Hoffman
The directors that have personal, emotional feelings for me are Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini, and I`m sure there has been some influence but never a direct one. I never set out to try and do anything like them. But, you know, when you listen to a j...
Woody Allen
[Her explanation for bringing excess luggage to London in 1969 for her year long stint on stage as `Mame`] "I believe in dressing for the occasion. There`s a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz. As for the little touche...
Ginger Rogers
There was no ripple professionally for me at all when I was in the papers with my custody stuff. I made my films, I worked in the streets of New York, I played jazz every Monday night, I put a play on. Everything professionally went just the same. There w...
Woody Allen
I feel very close to the western. There are not too many American art forms that are original. Most are derived from European art forms. Other than the western and jazz or blues, that`s all that`s really original.
Clint Eastwood
I`ve been dancing my entire life. Jazz, hip hop, ballet. And then there`s tap dancing. I love to tap. My ultimate dream is to do a musical like `Singin` in the Rain.`
Emily van Camp
My grandpa [jazz musician Art Quatro] would always ask, `What instrument do you hear when you listen to music?` I`m like, `All of it!` He`s like, `Well, then you`re a singer!` And I love to dance. But I don`t like being up in front of tons of people. I di...
Sherilyn Fenn
I got good grades in school, but I was in a little school and a small town out of Pittsburgh, not academically demanding or ambitious, I don`t know how much that says but I was not that science thrilled I was more in to playing sports, jazz, painting and ...
Jeff Goldblum
Being in the studio, I get to be creative. And, uh, I`m the guy in the group who likes jazz, so I have a tendency to take, like, all the songs we do and make up little jazz versions.

For a young actor it was intimidating. But! You look into the eyes and you see actors know actors. It`s like playing jazz. You really have to go there with your trumpet and compete.
Peter O`Toole

Emily VanCamp
You had many jazz musicians who lived in the United States, who had a hard time being accepted over here and had to play in sort of these inferior type dives.
Sonny Rollins
What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.
Ray Charles
What is jazz? It, It`s almost like asking, What is French? Jazz is a musical language. It`s a musical dialect that actually embodies the spirit of America.

Branford Marsalis
What I can say is that for may years jazz musicians had to go to Europe, for instance, to be respected and to be sort of treated not in a discriminatory way. I don`t think there is anything controversial about me saying that. This is just a fact.
Sonny Rollins
What `jazz` means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term `jazz` has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.
