Went Quotes

I have not looked at a newspaper in twenty years; if one is brought into the room, I flee. This is not because I am indifferent but because one cannot follow every road Picture Quote #1

I was 16 when I was in a band, for about 10 minutes. I went off and did acting after that. So it was a wee moment for me when I sang Picture Quote #1

The people that can’t sing anymore that had great voices are the people that went away for five years and then just decided to come back. And you just can’t make a comeback. Comebacks are no good. You have to just keep singing. Or keep dancing Picture Quote #1

I think people understand me, me as a person and what I went through because I kept it on the plate. I never hid nothing. I was never in the closet. I smoked dope, I gang banged, I did this, I did that; whatever I did it was always out Picture Quote #1

I went out into the woods for a few days. I just disconnected from everything and allowed myself to be free and be human. Because, that’s what makes you really good, if you can be vulnerable, if you can be vulnerable on stage Picture Quote #1

I started with shoes, and with hard work and discipline, the business prospered. I moved to the department store business and again, things went well Picture Quote #1

Twenty years is, after all, a long time. We are not the same people we were. Old friends, lovers, even family members: they are strangers who happen to wear a familiar face. We have no right to claim to know anyone after such a distance Picture Quote #1

My lips went inside the sheep’s fur. It was my first kiss. What is this. Why did the staff make me do this?! Picture Quote #1

I was always a neat kid. I never wanted my hands dirty. I wasn’t a dirty kid. A lot of kids like to run around. If I was rolling around the dirt, I went home and took a shower. That’s just the way I was. I’m not sure. I might have been born with it Picture Quote #1

I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine. I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes. I lived on honeycomb Picture Quote #1

I was just different. When the other kids gravitated to football or basketball, I went fishing and skating. I was into trapping animals, pheasants and squirrels. Not only was I trapper, I was a taxidermist Picture Quote #1

I still do have the little lunch bag that my mother made out of a towel and embroidered with my name on it for when I went to kindergarten Picture Quote #1

My sister is an artist and an interior designer. She went to high school for art. I went to high school for music Picture Quote #1

One day there were two out in the ninth, and I hit a pop fly so high that the fans got tired of waiting for it to come down. So they all went home and listened to it drop by turning on the radio Picture Quote #1

With hacky sack, somebody brought one to recess in sixth grade and it kind of all went downhill from there! The same with the yoyos! One kid brought a yoyo one day and people started getting them. I just kept at it and found that I really loved it Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties Picture Quote #1

Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows Picture Quote #1

I went through college in the 1960s without having any idea that I was going to have to make a living. When I graduated in 1968 it was quite a shock to find out that there was a world out there and that it wasnt going to support me Picture Quote #1

I actually went into writing first to supplement my income, which was a strange thing to do, and actually failed Picture Quote #1

If we went back to the imprisonment rate we had in the early 70s, something like four out of five people employed in the prison industry would lose their jobs. Thats what you’re up against Picture Quote #1

I live in an apartment building built in 1925, and it hasn’t been heavily renovated, so I feel very much connected to that time and what went on in that place Picture Quote #1

We go to war only to make peace. We never went to war with any other design. We carry the national conscience wherever we go Picture Quote #1

My dad gave me a haircut... and it wasn’t a very good one. When I went out of the house, my friends got on my case and said it looked like someone put a chili bowl over my head and cut around it Picture Quote #1

At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate Picture Quote #1

I really was a terrible actor. I did it for years in my twenties because it was like being at university again Picture Quote #1

I love sports. I was an athlete in high school, and my school was so small we didn’t have a football team, so it’s the one sport I didn’t bother to learn the rules to because I never went to game Picture Quote #1

And we went our separate ways without having understood each other. As in this world nobody understands the other easily Picture Quote #1

The movies are fun, but I’m a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine being sixty years of age and playing music I wrote when I was in my twenties. I would rather sail the sea of consequence to new lands. Laps around the shallow end of the pool, not for me Picture Quote #1

I’m a former skydiver, I jumped out of all kinds of things including a hot air balloon. Ironically, once I started skydiving, I felt nervous not having my rig on in case the plane went down because I wasn’t used to landing Picture Quote #1
