I came to New York when I was 25, and I worked at Howard Johnson`s in Times Square, where I did the door in this completely silly uniform. Before that, I had been a student at the Pasadena Playhouse, where I had been awarded the least-likely-to-succeed pr...

[when asked if he wished he had a different profession] Oh, all writers wish that. That`s why we become writers. We want to do something active but we can`t. Paul Johnson, in his "History of the 20th Century", says all the great crimes are committed by in...

[on watching Independence Day (1994) with President Bill Clinton watching] Oh, great. This is going to be like shooting baskets with `Magic Johnson` watching".
Bill Pullman
It used to make me upset to be typecast that way. But as the years have gone on, I have given in. I am the Professor, and that`s the way it is. The show has brought a lot of joy to people, and that`s not a bad legacy. -- Russell Johnson, referring to his ...

To me, naturalism is the death of drama. Lee Strasberg came along and the Method f***ed everything up. I find people like Celia Johnson are my favorite actors. I was brought up on films like Brief Encounter, and for me they expressed enormous truth. Marlo...

My mom taught me to go after my dreams. I have this faith in myself that I must have gotten from her. I believe I can do anything. If I decide I want to be a doctor tomorrow, I`m going to be a doctor. Amy Jo Johnson, discussing memories of her mother; Tee...

When I was 17, for my first job, I worked at the midtown Howard Johnson`s. A customer asked me what our ice-cream flavor of the week was, which was a dumb question, because there was a huge banner showing that it was maple. So I told him that it was chick...
Mike Nichols
When you look at people like Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson, Maurice Greene, the key to their success was not world records - it was their dominance,
Justin Gatlin
We`re gonna release a studio album probably a year from now and we`ve got these recordings that we did with Coco Taylor and Johnny Johnson, who was Chuck Berry`s piano player.
James Young
We think we have made a step, but we have some more to climb. If we can run five healthy ladies at conference, we are going to give Johnson County all they can handle.
Mark Phillips
We just tried to concentrate on playing all five of them as tough as we could, whether that was inside or outside. Unfortunately, Holtz got off to a hot start, and Johnson came on to pick up where she left off, and that was the difference.
John Rutter
We have to focus on setting our rotation on how we`re going to play in the playoffs. Hopefully it will be a good indication of what our rotation will be once playoff basketball starts. We trust [Johnson].
Jerry Stackhouse
The two previous Republican contesters got the same percentage of votes. I thought that I might do at least 20 percent or better. But it seems that there is a consistent base that is content with Sam Johnson.
Bob Johnson
The Johnson Controls growth strategy is driven by our customers` needs. These integration solutions will help healthcare organizations improve clinical outcomes, financial performance, and patient and staff satisfaction.

So this guy, Jeff Johnson, who is an accountant who cares nothing at all about a free press and cares nothing about journalism, he`s a right winger who supported the war, you know, who two years ago told people he couldn`t stand a word that I wrote.
Robert Scheer
She came out hot. She and Katie Johnson inside were huge for them. They scored and rebounded and I thought that they were the difference in the game.
John Rutter
John H. Johnson, what a man, what a legacy. Although his written words were many, his spoken words were few. I`d like to share some of his most poignant taken from his autobiography `Succeeding Against the Odds.` He says, and I quote, `I believe that the ...
