Recording with Billy May is like having a bucket of cold water thrown into your face. Nelson Riddle will come to a session with all the arrangements carefully and neatly worked out beforehand. With Billy you sometimes don`t get copies of the next number u...
Frank Sinatra
[when asked by friend Samuel Griffin in the 1950s why she married Gene Raymond instead of Nelson Eddy] I must have had rocks in my head.
Jeanette MacDonald
What is that song that Willie Nelson sang? `Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few.` I think of that. No big deal. I`ve reached a stage in my life where I am content.
Gabriel Byrne
This was in June, 1866. Frank wrote for me to come to him at once, and although my own wound was still very bad, I started immediately and stayed with him at the house of Mr. Alexander Severe, in Nelson county, until he recovered, which was in September.
Jesse James
This may be a dream, but I`ll say it anyway: I was supposed to be married last year, and I bought a gown. When I meet Nelson Mandela, I shall put on this gown and have the train of it removed and put aside, and kiss the ground that he walks on and then ki...
Nina Simone
The movie has four-letter words in it. You`ve got Willie Nelson playing Uncle Jesse, smoking dope? That`s not `Dukes of Hazzard.` It should have been `Jackass 2,`
James Best
Swimmer performance was awesome for the first meet ever in Nelson County High School history. Spectators could hardly believe it was a first-year team competing.
Anna McCloy
Somehow you can tell the difference when a song is written just to get on the radio and when what someone does is their whole life. That comes through in Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson. There is no separating their life from their music.
Lyle Lovett
One of them would definitely be the Nelson Mandela gig, when I played the tribute song for him. He was up and dancing, and he really enjoyed it. It was a really lovely occasion.
Joan Armatrading
It was a crazy experience because she is a woman who everyone in the world looks up to, ... I mean, you walk in there and one of the first things you see is a picture of Nelson Mandela on the wall. That`s when you realize just how big a situation it is. T...
Caron Butler
In the winter I was with Nelson Piquet. He was talking about his capacity to race faster. He said that he was still learning new things all the time.
Jean Alesi
If Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus.
Kinky Friedman
I wrote a song called walls with my husband, Louis Nelson, who designed the new Korean Veteran`s Memorial Wall on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
Judy Collins
I remember when Nelson Mandela made his first visit to Atlanta and came by the center. She made sure that not just the celebrities were able to be in his presence, but she made certain that all staff had a chance to shake hands with and meet him.
Jane Smith
I majored in English in college, ... but whenever I had doubts when I was writing, I`d always call Nelson. He would always laugh and say he needed to be on my payroll.
Betty White
I can speak very candidly about this because being in the Nelson area, I know it won`t affect me. If it had I would have come to realize that there are a lot of exciting opportunities opening a new school, but change is hard.
Antonio Carluccio
From Nelson county we went to Logan county to see some relatives we had there, and after staying until the middle of October, I returned alone to my home in Missouri.
Jesse James
Friday, I was rehearsing with Joshua Nelson at the Synagogue at 10 a.m. At Noon, I was here, talking on a panel about what folk music is. The moment I left here, I went to a recoding session, and played tuba on an Australian blues singers record. And the ...
Mark Rubin
Craig Nelson who is an actor and is in a show called Coach in the United States. We began to do some improvisational stuff and we used to get laughs and things.
Barry Levinson
Coach Nelson has really done a good job since she arrived. They`ve been down, but I can remember a few years ago when they were very good. And, they`re getting better again now. It`s important for both of us. Our girls realize they`ll have to play well to...
David Duncan
As far as those kinds of things, I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release.
Jackson Browne
[William Nelson says that] one of the more difficult challenges for makers of blister packaging continues to be the development of foil blister materials that are both functionally child resistant and senior friendly. ... This has been a formidable challe...
Barry C. Forbes
[Nelson, in remarks cited by the newspapers, took responsibility for the episode.] If you`re at the helm, you`re at the helm, ... We hired a lot of expertise and I put confidence in him.
John Nelson
[Allison also recalled watching Nelson Mandela`s release from prison with Gilchrist and Tom King, then sales director at Standard Life. As Mandela waved to the crowds he leaned towards his wife Winnie and whispered in her ear.] I wonder what he`s asking h...
