Richard Quotes

And I had a big opportunity with Richard Brooks, The Professionals, which is really a magnificent movie Picture Quote #1

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the 60s Picture Quote #1

For me it’s important to get the origin of the character like in the Richard Donner superman. We saw him became slowly a super hero but I think it’s important to take time and stay realistic Picture Quote #1

I was excited about working with Richard Gere. Oh, and Joan Allen! Oh, my God, she is such a force of nature, it’s mind boggling Picture Quote #1

I loved music from the age of eight. Jazz and blues. But also Little Richard and Elvis Presley Picture Quote #1

When I was 9 years old, I wanted to be the baritone sax player in the Little Richard band Picture Quote #1

I think of Terrence Malick’s movie Days of Heaven - one of Richard Gere’s first movies - you can push pause on almost any image in the movie and it looks like a painting Picture Quote #1

Throughout American history, we have elected presidents who had not been honest man. Warren Harding, Richard Nixon, to some extent, Lyndon Johnson just to name a few Picture Quote #1

Richard Pryor is, in my mind, the most honest comedian. He bared his soul to people. I think that’s why everybody loved him so much Picture Quote #1

For Obama to save himself, he should be thinking about the example of an unlikely Republican predecessor: Richard Nixon Picture Quote #1

I’d much rather see Richard Pryor or Jackie Mason in a theater than in a club Picture Quote #1

You have an imperial presidency that makes Richard Nixon look like a boy scout Picture Quote #1

I have seen humility in many of the finest leaders I have met the world over. And indeed, it is embodied in the warm, engaging and quintessentially successful spirit of Sir Richard Branson Picture Quote #1

Richard Avedon is a true genius of photography and one of the greatest artists of our time Picture Quote #1

Of Richard M. Nixon: A foul caricature of himself, a man with no soul, no inner convictions, with the integrity of a hyena and the style of a poison toad Picture Quote #1

I myself am consummately middle class. We grew up in upper-middle-class suburbs in Oklahoma City, and thats very much the same ethos as what Richard Yates and John Cheever wrote about Picture Quote #1

Science is a victim of its own reductive metaphors: ‘Big Bang,’ ‘selfish gene’ and so on. Richard Dawkins’ selfish gene fitted with the Thatcherite politics of the time. It should actually be the ‘altruistic gene,’ but he’d never have sold as many books with a title like that Picture Quote #1

Angry Black White Boy is bananas! Actually, it’s a banana split with razor blades in it. Adam Mansbach is the white Richard Wright, and Angry Black White Boy is our generation’s Native Son Picture Quote #1

I admire leaders in science, people who really figure things out like Richard Fineman or people who work on vaccines, tons of people working on [the] HIV vaccine. There’s leaders in business, people like Warren Buffett, who’ve got a certain approach they take that are pretty amazing. There [are] product innovators like Steve Jobs was, where he gets behind a concept and does a fantastic job Picture Quote #1

The leaping Jaguar on the bonnet, to me, makes it look more like a hunter than something that is getting away. It’s a hunter. Richard III definitely would have had a chauffeur driven Jaguar MK X Picture Quote #1

I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of deathamong Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future Picture Quote #1

Judged by the stark, sure-footed portrait in Hard Time, Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben clearly have John Constantine down, cold and to the life. Azzarellos grasp of pacing, character and situation resonates through every scene with a black crystal clarity thats short of masterful, while Corben contributes what is, perhaps, one of the most darkly expressive pieces in a long, already-legendary career Picture Quote #1

[Adoption] could turn you into an exquisite comedian. Ask Richard Pryor’s ghost Picture Quote #1

Bob Hope was an entertainment colossus, shrewd and influential well beyond show business. Richard Zoglin’s biography captures it all--the public and private Hope Picture Quote #1

I have no desire to be hip to the latest black slang and do the stereotypical black thing. I was a Richard Pryor fan, and I have used profanity in my act. But when it becomes a whole thing that defines blacks, we’re limiting ourselves. The enemy is us Picture Quote #1

Theatre aside, my penchant for the extended monologue began with my reading of Browning’s dramatic monologues, in high school. My inclination to adopt the form for prose was confirmed by Richard Howard’s book of dramatic monologues, Untitled Subjects Picture Quote #1

The trap in Hamlet is he’s the most passive of Shakespeare’s characters. He’s not a Richard III, not out there taking a lot of action. It’s a lot of asides and soliloquies where he’s wrapped in angst, and that’s not a very interesting character Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to admire Sir Richard Branson. He is a completely different style of businessman to me, but you have got to admire what he has achieved Picture Quote #1

When I was in middle school, the librarian there was secretary for a couple of groups of professional writers. She introduced me to Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson, and I became very friendly with them over a period of two years. Both of them were very generous with their time, guidance and advice Picture Quote #1

I think airlines have been very much parrots. They’ll just follow what everyone else is doing. Why change a model that they’re happy in? And it takes someone like myself or Richard Branson who comes from outside the industry to say, ‘Hey, let’s try something new.’ Picture Quote #1
