Text Quotes
The city’s the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people. I would control it directly with the public in the streets  (JR Quotes) The real art is in the street, is making the artwork, and for that you have to involve people. The action is actually the artwork  (JR Quotes) An artist should be taking risks. That’s the whole idea of being an artist  (JR Quotes) Like my daddy always said, where there’s a way, there’s a will  (JR Quotes) I developed the pilot for ‘Entertainment Tonight’ with Jack Haley, Jr. and Al Masini, who became my business partner in ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,’ ‘Runaway’ and several other shows and specials.  (JR Quotes) In 1968, the sanitation workers of Memphis tried to form a union. The city resisted. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to support them. That was where he lost his life.  (JR Quotes) My mother, twenty-two, was Harriet Gautier Brooks, named for her paternal grandmother, but always called Hallie. My father, twenty-six, was Albert Horton Foote, named for his father and great-grandfather, and I was named Albert Horton Foote, Jr.  (JR Quotes) Of course I think a 10-year investment would be in a team’s best interest. Look at Cal Ripken Jr., that guy was around until he was like 40... Not that I’m going to be in my 40s at the end of the 10-year deal or anything.  (JR Quotes) I think, along with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks will go down as one of the two most well-known and remembered figures out of the Civil Rights Movement.  (JR Quotes) I was proud to march beside some of the most notable Civil Rights activists, such as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., from Selma to Montgomery.  (JR Quotes) He could have made a difference. He could have brought real jobs and development to hard working communities that need and deserve those resources. Instead, William Boyland, Jr. worked to glorify one person, and that was himself.  (JR Quotes) JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ - I mean, he’s a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award.  (JR Quotes) In seventh grade, with some vague sense that I wanted to be a writer, I crouched in the junior high school library stacks to see where my novels would eventually be filed. It was right after someone named Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. So I grabbed a Vonnegut book, ‘Breakfast of Champions’ and immediately fell in love.  (JR Quotes) When I lived in Las Vegas, I was meeting everybody: Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones - we won’t go there - but all these people that were working in Vegas a million years ago, way before I was Elvira.  (JR Quotes) Pigmentation was a quick and convenient way of judging a person. One of us, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once proposed we instead judge people by the content of their character. He was shot  (JR Quotes) When white supremacy becomes institutional, it begins to harm the very people who are not simply outside of it because of their race, it begins to harm the folk who look like the folk who want to be in charge. Martin Luther King, Jr., understood this, Malcolm X understood this, James Baldwin really understood this.  (JR Quotes) I was a superhero fan in the 90s, so I’m definitely familiar with John Romita, Jr. In fact, when I was in high school, I would go to local conventions and line up and get his signature.  (JR Quotes) I did ‘Lonely Hearts’ with John Travolta and James Gandolfini. Talk about getting over your fears. These guys were amazing! Also, Cuba Gooding, Jr. is one of my favorites. We’ve made 3 films together. He is such a generous, giving actor.  (JR Quotes) I felt Michael Jackson was inspired a little bit more from the elegance of a Fred Astaire. Michael loved Sammy Davis, Jr. and James Brown and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. But he wasn’t any of those people. To be inspired is one thing, but he made it all his own.  (JR Quotes) My family’s been in show business since the 1700s. I traced them. I’m bred to this. Like a racehorse. A thoroughbred. Look at my parents, my God. But it was my curiosity that made me do this. Because you could also say: Look at Frank Sinatra Jr. It’s not like a natural thing that happens. You gotta work.  (JR Quotes) Frank Sinatra was a great singer, but my favourite is Sammy Davis Jr. He had incredible versatility in his voice, often doing impressions of people. It’s always going to be classic, and you’ll never get bored listening.  (JR Quotes) I’ve always been inspired by Genet, Henry Miller and Hubert Selby, Jr., who taught me that you’ve got to tell a bigger truth in whatever you’re doing, but the truth is not popular.  (JR Quotes) 99.9% of the time, the people we see worked for it. People like Morgan Freeman and Harry Connick, Jr. work every day to continue the status that they have.  (JR Quotes) From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there’s a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.  (JR Quotes) What you might not know is that shortly after she worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others, Rosa Parks had to leave her home in Alabama to escape the constant threat of violence.  (JR Quotes) I believe, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that there is such a thing as being too late, and when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us.  (JR Quotes) I hope that the opening of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial will be a life-altering experience that inspires every American to rededicate themselves to the fulfillment of Dr. King’s dream.  (JR Quotes) [Malcolm X] shared with Marcus Garvey a commitment to building strong black institutions. He shared with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a commitment to peace and the freedom of racialized minorities.  (JR Quotes) True leaders are willing to die for their dreams. They don’t oppress with ignorance; they impress with visions. They live like Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela  (JR Quotes) One day after laying a wreath at the tomb of Martin Luther King Jr., President Bush appoints a federal judge who has built his career around dismantling Dr. King’s legacy.  (JR Quotes)
