I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
Playing professional football is something I`ll never be able to do. So getting this part was like a dream come true. --on his role in Jerry Maguire (1996).
Jerry O`Connell
There`s a side of me that always fell for manic things, frenzied, cartoony performances. I always liked sideshows, freakshows. Jerry Lewis was a freakshow...Absolutely grotesque, awful, tasteless. I like things to be tasteless.
Terry Gilliam
[on Jerry Lewis] At some point he said to himself, "I`m extraordinary, like Charles Chaplin." From then on nobody could tell him anything. He knew it all.
Dean Martin
Jerry Lawler walks in here with his crown, DA DA DUM, Imperial Margarine, and he talks about what he`s going to me. Lawler, if you think you`re going to beat me, if you think you can do anything to me, you really are a King, King of FOOLS, Jack!"
Roddy Piper
[On "The Muppet Show" (1976) head writer, Jerry Juhl]: He was the person responsible really for the heart of the Muppets. He just knew the characters better than anybody else. He was brilliant because he could be funny but not nasty. He always saw the aff...
Frank Oz
Really, he called me that? Ellen Degenerate? I`ve been getting that since the fourth grade. I guess I`m happy I could give him work. [When told in an interview that, after she revealed her homosexuality, Jerry Falwell called her `Ellen Degenerate`.]
Ellen DeGeneres
[On playing "Vera Charles" in Mame (1974)] You know, the real name of this show is "Vera". The only reason they changed the name was because Jerry [lyricist Jerry Herman] couldn`t think of a rhyme for it. Stephen Sondheim could have.

I`d wanted to get stuck into the action on Pirates of the Caribbean and I asked Jerry [Jerry Bruckheimer] if I could have a sword fight in that, and he more than made up for it in King Arthur (2004) by giving me axe fights, knife fights, and all the rest ...

[Jerry Tibbs was] the one who got me wearing bangs. For years I had my hair parted down the middle in a ponytail, tucked down around the sides. But he said to me, `Bettie, you`ve got a very high forehead. I think you`d look good if you cut some bangs to c...
Bettie Page
[Jerry Siegel`] and [Joe Shuster] created a piece of American mythology. It was my privilege to be the onscreen custodian of the character in the `70s and `80s. There will be many interpretations of Superman, but the original character created by two teen...
Christopher Reeve
I came in there and did everything I had to do and the rest was history. So it was never like me sitting going `Ah, there`s Tom!` To me, it was like that son of a bitch was holding me back from doing what I had to do - on his final audition for Jerry Magu...
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
I`m a very controversial figure in the Christian world. I don`t believe if you`re gay or you have a drink or you dance, you`re going to hell. I don`t think that`s the kind of God we have. The Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of the world are scary. I wan...
Kristin Chenoweth
[On the experience of living with her co-stars during the filming of Blue Crush (2002)] Of course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben & Jerry`s Half Baked. I...
Kate Bosworth
(Recalling a personal encounter with comedian Jerry Seinfeld): "When my show, "Get a Life" (1990), first aired on Fox and "Seinfeld" (1990) first aired, it was around the same time. Surprisingly, "Get a Life" (1990) was doing slightly better. Jerry and I ...

Chris Elliott
[about his friend, Jerry Goldsmith] His chameleon adaptability was a prerequisite to longevity and success in Hollywood. We used to call him Gorgeous. He was the golden boy, a beautiful presence. His music had a freshness, and he had a freshness.
John Williams
I shouldn`t be able at this late date to go into a club and be better than guys who are there every night. Nobody really wants to be a stand-up, they want to get on TV. Everybody wants to be "Seinfeld" (1990), nobody wants to be Jerry Seinfeld.
Chris Rock
[on advice he receives from his father, Jerry Stiller] My father is always telling me to take care of myself and get a lot of rest. He`s always saying, "Sleep will fix anything. Go take a nap". I think he`s right. I find when I get frazzled, if I get a go...
Ben Stiller
Yesterday Jerry Springer bowed out of the Ohio Senate race. He said, `If I can`t run the most embarrassing campaign in America, then I`m out of here.`

When we were leaving, Jerry (Narron) said, `You`re going to come to Cincinnati and see us play next year,` ... He moved his thumb. His mother said that means `OK.` I got pretty choked up. Jerry did, too.

What Jerry has done, in a masterful way, is go through and select portions of the Scripture and put words in Jesus` mouth that are legitimate because they already appear in the Bible.
