Words matter. These are the best Morse Quotes from famous people such as Kevin Whately, John Thaw, Steve Jobs, Sheila Hancock, Tiny Tim, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I initially thought ‘Lewis’ was a terrible idea. The character had very much been Morse’s work donkey and sounding board. But I was persuaded to do it, thinking if it was a flop, at least ITV would stop asking me. But the pilot took off, so we got back on this moving train, and we’ve never looked back.
I suppose it’s a sentimental thing, but I wouldn’t want to do more ‘Lewis’ than we did ‘Morse’ because I do still think of it as an offshoot.
I think Morse’s thing about being a poor policeman but a good detective is a very good description of him.
The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel – one that reads like a mystery to most people. They’re not going to learn slash q-z any more than they’re going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.
My husband John Thaw worked with many directors, some of whom cut their teeth working on the ‘Sweeney,’ ‘Kavanagh QC’ and ‘Morse’ before going on to illustrious careers.
We hear about the Gershwins, the Kerns, and the Berlins, but there were some great little writers like Theodore Morse, Charles K. Harris, and Ernest R. Ball, who wrote ‘Let the Rest of the World Go By.’
I feel very competitive with Robert Morse off-set. We often duke it out. He always wins.
Oftentimes, whenever I do interviews with guitar magazines and we discuss my influences, I mention people like Steve Morse, Alex Lifeson, Al Di Meola – but John Scofield’s name never comes up. And that’s funny because he’s so amazing; he’s the epitome of a really cool guitar player.
Morse conquered his electrical difficulties although he was only a painter, and I don’t intend to give in either till all is completed.
I catch an old ‘Morse’ on ITV3. I’ve never thought I looked particularly like my son. He’s taller than me and blond. But when I see Lewis walk into a room with John Thaw, it’s like my son has just come onto the screen. That’s very strange indeed!
I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.
I studied Morse code.
Very few pilots even know how to read Morse code anymore. But if a pilot could read Morse code, he could tell which beacon he was approaching by the code that was flashing from it.
After 3 years, I left the army at the ripe old age of 20, but I’d like to think some of the skills are still with me. I’m great at physical movement; I can still remember Morse code, and perhaps most importantly, I can fold my socks up into little balls with smiley faces.
With the Neal Morse Band, we’re doing progressive music with a harder edge; it’s a little more in Dream Theater territory for me. Flying Colors is a little more poppy, it’s more Radiohead, Muse, and Coldplay territory, so I approach that drumming in a different way.
We were using a hand-held camera to film the scene when Morse collapses. The camera wouldn’t start. Three times they said action and it still wouldn’t work. To this day, they still don’t know what was wrong.
I think sadly that Morse thinks that he can exist on his own and he only realises at the end that he can’t and never really has been able to. I feel sorry for him.
