Minstrel Quotes

Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel Picture Quote #1

A wandering minstrel I, a thing of shreds and patches, of ballads, songs, and snatches, and dreamy lullaby! Picture Quote #1

The way was long, the wind was cold, the minstrel was infirm and old; his withered cheek, and tresses gray, seemed to have known a better day Picture Quote #1

If there were no such creatures as minstrel maidens, it would be necessary to invent them Picture Quote #1

I extract what I consider the best material from different sources. But often the material I perform comes from a very strange location in history, which are minstrel shows Picture Quote #1

I have the instincts of a minstrel rather than those of a scrivener. There you have it. We are not of the same trade at all and so how can your rules fit me? Picture Quote #1

You cannot begin to imagine the shock I had when I came down on the floor for the first time. First of all, there’s this whole thing about playing sitcom comedy. I didn’t want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn’t know what else to do. I went slowly. We went through the week of rehearsal, then we got on the floor with the cameras, which I’m used to because of my experience in the old days. Then came camera day, with an audience, and it was stunning, enthralling, exciting and chaotic. I had never experienced anything like that before, as an actor. I was part minstrel, part actor Picture Quote #1

We need to look beyond the obvious. Yes, there are minstrel images in hip-hop. Yes, there are demeaning, anti-racist, misogynistic and homophobic representations. We could make the same case about the church and our government. But hip-hop, like society, isn’t one dimensional Picture Quote #1

Where are the exhortations for children to reject the self-defeating stereotypes that reduce black people to violent, oversexed ‘gangstas,’ minstrel show comedians and mindless athletes? Picture Quote #1

I collect old Coon Chicken Inn memorabilia. I collect black memorabilia, like old minstrel posters. It was a real place. There was one in Seattle, one in Portland, and one in Salt Lake City. They started in 1925, and then they went out of business around 1958 Picture Quote #1

The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old; His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day Picture Quote #1
