James Quotes

I guess he was such an open, emotional vessel that I think he tapped into human nature, so it just left people wondering what would have happened. I think James Dean would be 83 today. He could be here, what would he be doing? Picture Quote #1

The studio and road both have their charms. The studio allows me to be a mad scientist and the tour lets me feel like James Bond Picture Quote #1

Music and fashion have had a kind of incestuous relationship since the Fifties. It started with people like Elvis Presley and pop icons like James Dean. Then it exploded in the MTV days. Now, with the Internet, it’s instantaneous Picture Quote #1

When I wrote ‘Your Republic Is Calling You,’ it was Franz Kafka’s writing that I had most in mind, and James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses.’ Entirely out of the blue, Kafka’s characters receive an order to go somewhere, and when they try to comply, they never quite manage it. Ki-yong in ‘Your Republic Is Calling You’ is precisely that sort of character Picture Quote #1

When I was 17 I got a guitar for my birthday and started discovering Bob Dylan and James Taylor and the whole 60s thing, and that made me want to make songs, to go beyond just playing an instrument. I needed to write I guess Picture Quote #1

In part, it’s so difficult to come up with something original, to come up with a character nowadays. If you created a globetrotting adventurer, he’d be compared to Indiana Jones. If you created a super spy, he’d be compared to James Bond Picture Quote #1

It’s bluesy, rocky jazz. I call it soul music, but it’s not James Brown soul music. It comes from my soul. It comes from a deeper place. Duffy has that similar old school soul sound to herself. If I opened for Duffy, that would make sense to me, in my head Picture Quote #1

There would be no Rock and Roll without Ike Turner, James Brown, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, etc. Fake ghetto books and fake ghetto music. Elvis Presley, whom they idol, is merely a karaoke makeover of James Brown and Chuck Berry Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, we don’t have a depth of African scriptwriters, so it’s easier to Africanize something that already works. Local script writers are giving me James Bond budget scenes that I can’t even produce Picture Quote #1

James Joyce’s English was based on the rhythm of the Irish language. He wrote things that shocked English language speakers but he was thinking in Gaelic. I’ve sung songs that if they were in English, would have been banned too. The psyche of the Irish language is completely different to the English-speaking world Picture Quote #1

Most of my influences from outside the commerical strange fiction genre came in with university, discovering James Joyce and Wallace Stevens, Blake and Yeats, Pinter and Borges. And meanwhile within those genres I was discovering Gibson and Shepard, Jeter and Powers, Lovecraft and Peake Picture Quote #1

In the early 60s, folk music seemed to be very popular. In the early 70s, people like James Taylor, John Denver, Jim Croce and Cat Stevens brought back the interest in acoustic music. Today, we don’t hear anything Picture Quote #1

When you’re a young man, a young boy, all you want to be is that action hero; you want to be the James Bond, and I got to do that for a bit, and that was great Picture Quote #1

Every young male actor dreams of being James Bond in an action movie. And that’s their first role. But the truth is, when it comes down to it, that’s not relatable Picture Quote #1

I worked with James Orange and Hosea Williams as a teenager, and he’s portrayed in the movie by Wendell Pierce. So, for me to be able to come in, 20 years after working with them as a teenager, and to portray Reverend James Orange in ‘Selma’ is mind-blowing Picture Quote #1

Voices are a good way to get in and out of things. James Carville constantly calls my wife to say I’ll be home late. Mandy Patinkin and Al Pacino call to get me restaurant reservations Picture Quote #1

James Bond is one of those heroes that all guys feel they could actually be like Picture Quote #1

I would love to work with Jack Nicholson, Saoirse Ronan, Michael Shannon and James Franco in the future. I think those actors are amazing, and they are my favourite actors by far Picture Quote #1

James Ralston, my guitar player, has performed with Tina Turner for about 22 years. Jim Hanson on bass has played with Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell and Bruce Springsteen, and they’re fantastic musicians and amazing singers they get a really cool vocal sound together Picture Quote #1

I remember looking at James Joyce’s journals. It was just amazing - it looked like ants had written on the page. So much writing on one page, every corner of the page was filled. Some of the lines were underlined in yellow or blue or red. A lot of color, intense writing Picture Quote #1

Some people might be surprised that ‘Rambo’s creator has a doctorate in American literature. One of my influences is Henry James, whose major theme is awareness. Whether I’m writing about military personnel, law enforcement, or De Quincey, the persistent theme is paying attention in a hostile world Picture Quote #1

Oh, absolutely. James Caan was the first movie star I’d ever met, much less worked with. He was an important person to me and my brothers and Wes. Bottle Rocket was the first movie for all of us. As you know, back then, [Caan] was having some career changes, I think Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t an expert or even the biggest Dennis Hopper fan in the world. All I knew about him were through his associations with James Dean and Andy Warhol, the fact that he made ‘Easy Rider.’ I thought his story would have a really great outlaw literary quality to it Picture Quote #1

Son of Frankenstein’ is never talked about in the same tone as James Whale’s 1931 ‘Frankenstein.’ But it should be. It was Boris Karloff’s last appearance in the Frankenstein series and stars Donnie Dunagan, then a child actor Picture Quote #1
