Cotton Quotes

If I dream that I’m directing, it’s not a film, it’s like a commercial for cotton candy, and I’ve got four feet of cotton candy all around me that I’ve got to break through, like a brick wall or a fortress Picture Quote #1

Gospel music was the thing that inspired me as a child growing up on a cotton farm, where work was drudgery and it was so hard that when I was in the field I sang all the time. Usually gospel songs because they lifted me up above that black dirt Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If people are well paid for reality television and cotton candy and dunking a basketball, why can’t they be well paid for changing young minds? Picture Quote #1

All writers start with a layer of truth, don’t they? If not, their stories would be nothing but spools of cotton candy, a fleeting taste wrapped around nothing but air Picture Quote #1

You can eat a lot more vegetables than you can cotton candy. Bring on the veggies. Stay away from the fluffy carbs Picture Quote #1

Never in a million years would I want to live at Versailles with Marie Antoinette or anybody else. I hate to tell you this but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream Picture Quote #1

I hate to tell you this, but I did not even like visiting Versailles. I found it just too ornate. It was like a complete diet of cotton candy, marzipan, and whipped cream. It gave me the mental equivalent of one of those toothaches you get when you bite into something too sweet Picture Quote #1

I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields Picture Quote #1

As a kid, on the cotton fields, I had this tune in my head. I hummed it and sang it. It was the same melody as ‘When A Man Loves A Woman.’ I could never, ever forget it Picture Quote #1

I used to work in the cotton fields a lot when I was young. There were a lot of African Americans working out there. A lot of Mexicans - the blacks and the whites and the Mexicans, all out there singing, and it was like an opera in the cotton fields, and I can still hear it in the music that I write and play today Picture Quote #1

Dean Martin’s great-great-uncle, Ebenezer Martin, who said to Eli Whitney, I see the cotton, but where’s the gin? Never got a dinner! Picture Quote #1

People would ask me how I could stand the long campaigning, how I could stand being charged with the responsibilities of a great nation, one of the most powerful and difficult jobs in the world. It wasn’t any more difficult than picking cotton all day or shaking peanuts Picture Quote #1

I learned from Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Adelaide Hall, the Nicholas Brothers, the whole thing, the whole schmear. [The Cotton Club] was a great place because it hired us, for one thing, at a time when it was really rough [for Black performers] Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

After the Cougars’ 19-15 Cotton Bowl victory over Kansas State We’re the only team in NCAA history to win 14 games in a season. It was just a great experience and I can’t say enough about it. . . . People don’t know how difficult it is to get up for 15 games Picture Quote #1

My perspective is hard because I look at wardrobe from very much a guy’s perspective. You look at my closet and I have pairs of black jeans and five button-downs, but one’s silk, one’s cotton. They all are slightly different, so that’s my perspective Picture Quote #1
