Williams Quotes

You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones.

That’s what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it’s played such a part in country music Picture Quote #1

Frank [Sinatra] sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I’ve always wanted to sing to somebody. I would have gotten that subliminally from Frank many years ago. Hank Williams did that, too. He sang to you Picture Quote #1

I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I’m not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans Picture Quote #1

I’m not gonna lie, I love Usain Bolt and Serena Williams. What I love about Serena is that she just gets on the floor and she dominates. She handles her business very well, I respect that Picture Quote #1

Margaret Thatcher has one great advantage - she is a daughter of the people and looks trim, as the daughter of the people desire to be. Shirley Williams has such an advantage over her because she’s a member of the upper-middle class and can achieve the kitchen-sink revolutionary look that one cannot get unless one has been to a really good school Picture Quote #1

When you think of the former high school football star, you think 6-foot-2, white, meathead as the model for that kind of character.

I thought about Smash Williams from ‘Friday Night Lights,’ like the cocky quarterback, and played around with that Picture Quote #1

I was a total theater geek in high school, no question. I was cast in ‘Godspell’ freshman year - with Vanessa Williams, by the way. She and I are still friends. We went to high school together Picture Quote #1

I like sunny stories. You know, my favorite girls in the 50s were Debbie Reynolds, Doris Day, and Esther Williams Picture Quote #1

Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams.

But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

I think you have everyone kind of pulling on the same end of the rope. It’s not like you’re Robin Williams and everyone else is a deaf mute. It’s like - there’s plenty of help Picture Quote #1

I was a contact hitter my whole career but I learned how to handle the ball inside. And Ted Williams played a big part in that. He gave me the advice on how to handle inside pitches Picture Quote #1
