Name Quotes

I made my name and reputation DJing in hip-hop clubs in New York. ‘Celebrity DJ’ is a term that I hated. To me a celebrity DJ is someone that’s on ‘Big Brother’ or in some kind of B-movie who gets a gig to DJ even though they’re not talented enough to do it Picture Quote #1

The very first role I ever played was as a 17-year old South African girl who dreamed of being a star and left home to meet her mother in the big city so that she could pursue that dream. I left South Africa and met my mother in Vancouver and not long after that was given the opportunity to perform on the stage and have people chant my name Picture Quote #1

A football team is really a big family. There’s a give and take... but a few are working for their name only. They go the whole week trying to figure out who said something, what they said and where it happened instead of showing that they’re big men Picture Quote #1

Delores is a gorgeous name, for a gorgeous girl. Plus, it rhymes with clitoris...and I really know my way around them. Big fan Picture Quote #1

‘Hello my name is the Republican Party and I got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government.’ I’d like one of them just to stand up and say that Picture Quote #1

I’m a very hands-on person; I don’t just want to give my name to something and not be a big part of it Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t name more than a couple of good drum’n’bass acts, and I have no idea what’s big in the dance world right now Picture Quote #1

Johnny Carson was a big influence on me - all of those shows I did with him over the years, like, 100 of them, they made a bit of a name for me at the time, so that part of my life was very good Picture Quote #1

Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn’t feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose and bigger, longer legs Picture Quote #1

We’ve seen filibusters to block judicial nominations, jobs bills, political transparency, ending Big Oil subsidies - you name it, there’s been a filibuster Picture Quote #1

When I need to be precise about a plant, I use its Latin name, even if my nongardening friends sometimes look at me a little funny for using big words in a dead language - or in the kind of horticultural Esperanto that botanical names make up Picture Quote #1

I doubt very much that the chief executives of any of the Fortune 500 corporations can name five edible plants, five native grasses, or five migratory birds within walking distance of their homes, or name the soil series upon which their house sits. And I would contend that if you don’t know where you are, you are in fact nowhere at all Picture Quote #1

On Fox News, Donald Trump said Obama’s birth certificate could indicate that he’s a Muslim. Trump said he doesn’t trust anyone with a foreign-sounding name, and neither does his daughter Ivanka Picture Quote #1

Two things we have no control:The family in which you were born it to and the name you were given at birth Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I’m not that cool, so I might as well stick with my birth name Picture Quote #1

Apart from life, a strong constitution, and an abiding connection to the Thembu royal house, the only thing my father bestowed upon me at birth was a name, Rolihlahla Picture Quote #1

My mom really raised me, so I took her name before I ever thought about having a career. It was for personal reasons. My birth name is actually Max Deitch Picture Quote #1

I hate it when people talk about Tony Curtis and say: ‘His real name was Bernie Schwartz... ‘ That was just the name that he was given at birth. It’s not the person he lived his life with, and became Picture Quote #1

I have come to the conclusion that a goodly number of the fables that pass under the name of the Samian slave, Aesop, were derived from India, probably from the same source whence the same tales were utilised in the Jatakas, or Birth-stories of Buddha Picture Quote #1

There is no name so sweet on earth, no name so sweet in heaven, The name, before His wondrous birth, to Christ the Savior given Picture Quote #1

Tennis legend Bjorn Borg appeared in a Swedish TV ad urging Swedes to have more sex to solve the country’s falling birth rate. America can help. This is a perfect opportunity to name Jesse Jackson ambassador to Sweden Picture Quote #1

My father didn’t know his real name. My father got his name from his grandfather and he got his name from his grandfather and he got it from the slave master Picture Quote #1

I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me Picture Quote #1

Black movies don’t have real names, they have names like Barbershop. That’s not a name, that’s just a location Picture Quote #1

I had written a tune called ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll,’ but the white stations refused to play it - they thought it was low-class black music. We thought what we needed was a new name. But a white disc jockey named Alan Freed laid on it, and he thought up the name ‘rock n’ roll.’ Picture Quote #1

Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back Picture Quote #1

My mom, God rest her soul - she liked nicknames. In the womb she named me Skip. There was another black guy in Piedmont, W.Va., and his name was Skip. They called him Big Skip, and I was Little Skip Picture Quote #1

When we talk about good books, we often talk about good sentences, but what we rarely talk about is reader pleasure. Yet it is reader pleasure that is going to make a book break out into the kind of success that makes it into a household name Picture Quote #1

I don’t care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours. And I don’t care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I’d rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me Picture Quote #1

You got a lot but you just waste all yourself. They’ll forget your name soon and won’t nobody be to blame but yourself Picture Quote #1
