I probably spent more time as a kid playing air guitar to Jimmy Page than any other guitar player.
I met Gerald Ford. I met Richard Nixon. I met Jimmy Carter. I met Dwight Eisenhower when he was a general. George Bush senior. I haven’t met Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, although I got a letter from him.
When you look at the team that Jimmy Rutherford has put together and the players that he has, this is just a great story of excellent in professional sports.
My brother was an avid Stoke City fan and a good footballer. We shared a room, growing up, and the walls were covered with 1970s Stoke players, like Peter Shilton, Gordon Banks, and Jimmy Greenhoff.
I loved being on stage with heroes of mine, like Gregg Edelman and Jimmy Walton, and the lovely Chita Rivera and Stephanie J. Block.
I think Jimmy Carr is very funny and probably the most industrious comedian I know and I really respect him for that.
Anyway, I tried liking Jimmy Corrigan but I couldn’t.
My favorite sports movies, I like ‘Remember the Titans’ and ‘Hoosiers’ Jimmy Chitwood, from the corner.
Jimmy Carter proposed withdrawing the troops from South Korea. He was stopped by the United States Congress.
‘Morning Joe’ host Mika Brzezinski’s personal life is a minefield. Her father is Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, and while one brother is an Obama appointee, the other advises Romney.
The reason inflation was brought down to manageable levels, by the time of Ronald Reagan’s re-election, was directly attributable to Jimmy Carter’s very courageous act, hiring a Federal Reserve chair, with the charge to induce a recession. That recession was probably the reason he didn’t win a second term.
I don’t sing white; I don’t sing black – I sing Bronx. When I sing ‘Ruby Baby,’ I’m rolling like Jimmy Reed. I wanted to communicate like Hank Williams and groove like Jimmy Reed.
It’s not just Barack Obama, but I doubt Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton would have made it to the White House without Selma.
Jimmy Butler embodies those qualities just like the Heat players of our great past have done before. Alonzo Mourning, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem. He just embodies these qualities of professionalism, of work, of accountability, of being reliable. And he leads.
No doubt the ridiculous politicians are right to like politics. They have found careers in which success can be achieved by being ridiculous. Imagine Jimmy Carter or George W. Bush rising to the top of any other profession.
Jimmy Butler is a winner.
For some reason, the movies in the ’40s have the best personalities: Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Betty Grable, Gene Tierney, and all those people. For some reason, I seem to gravitate more toward the ’40s, and I don’t necessarily know why. I just love the people.
I always felt Jimmy was trapped in Hollywood. He felt it himself. He loved aviation so much and he wanted to be able to do more of that. He somehow just got stuck here.
I used Jimmy to give me what I needed to keep going and to know that I was on the right path with it. I thought I saw Jimmy’s soul all the time we worked. He never covered his soul and I never covered mine. We saw into each other’s souls, very definitely.
The reality is that I spent years in the factories in Italy when I first set up Jimmy Choo. Today, everyone who has a job at Jimmy Choo, I’ve done their job – right down to the cleaner.
My trainer Jimmy Tibbs and my promoter Frank Warren told me that I had to be patient and get the jab going.
Dave Mackay was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.
People might say, ‘Jimmy Cliff, you’ve done a lot, achieved a lot. What more can you want?’
I do all the classics, like Dylan, Kristofferson, Jimmy Reed, Mexican mariachi songs, some jazz songs from the ’30s. Cole Porter’s ‘Begin the Beguine,’ that’s one of my favorites.
What Chris Webber and the Fab Five – Jalen, Juwan, Ray, Jimmy and those guys – they created a culture, and Michigan was a beneficiary of that. Chris Webber was a big part of it.
If Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hire me, I wouldn’t have the kind of career I have. And I don’t know what kind of career I have, but he changed my life.
Jimmy Iovine signed me personally to a million-dollar contract, and I lost my identity for a long time. That system is so predicated on making a hit, or you’re out of here.
I once stumped Jimmy Buffett by calling him a saint.
I went to Jimmy Gandolfini’s funeral, and when I was there, I realized Jimmy Gandolfini didn’t have Twitter.
Working with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis was crazy.
I don’t like to be me. I’m not so comfortable being me on screen because then I’d be a presenter. I’m not Jimmy Fallon.
I sat in on some songwriting classes, and it was really bloody hard, a lot of music theory. I’d be sitting there, and they’d be talking all this music theory, and the teacher would say, ‘Let’s ask our guest Jimmy what he thinks,’ and I’d be sitting there thinking, ‘Please don’t ask me, please don’t ask me.’
The funniest guy I’ve ever worked with – it’s just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh – is Jimmy Byrnes from ‘Wiseguy.’ Jimmy – we can’t be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.
I like to watch batsmen who will entertain and, as things stand, an opening spell from Jimmy Anderson is about as good as it gets.
I used to hear all these guys on 78s at my mother’s when I was a teenager… I used to daydream that I was onstage playing the solos; I’m playing with B.B. King, and I’m playing with Lowell Fulsom, Jimmy McCracklin. And I literally ended up being in a band that backed them up at different clubs.
I love heels! I especially like heels by Nicholas Kirkwood, Jimmy Choo and Moschino.
As scary as it is, we have to admit that there are folks in the world who only know the Roots as ‘the band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
I prefer my men slightly overweight. Having said that, my ultimate dream man is Jimmy Nail and he’s skinny.
I love collecting guitars, even though I can’t play well. My favourite guitarists are Richie Blackmore, Jimmy Paige, and John Mayer.
When I came back to California in the early ’60s I was hanging out with Jimmy Bowen, Phil Spector, and I wanted to be a record producer and work with other artists.
I played with Sam Lay, Jimmy Reed, Big Walter Horton, Big Moose Walker, and all those guys.
Everyone abroad knows me because of the songs ‘Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja’ and ‘I Am A Disco Dancer,’ both from ‘Disco Dancer.’
Lots of people think it was Jimmy Page who had the first fuzzbox. It wasn’t, No! it wasn’t me either.
I love Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik.
The interesting thing is I don’t get nervous for big things. I don’t know why this happens, but I will get like, puke-nervous when I’m going to do a presentation at school or go fill up my gas, but if I’m about to go on Jimmy Fallon, I am stress-free.
Ever since I was a little kid and first heard Jimmy Reed’s ‘Honey, Don’t Let Me Go,’ the blues has been in my blood.
Jimmy Snuka was one of the great performers in the business. In ring performance wise he was phenomenal.
The film’s star, Eminem, doesn’t appear to have a great deal of range, but he can play himself. Even though the protagonist is named Jimmy Smith, the thoughtful ‘8 Mile’ is a raw version of the rapper’s own story.
Jimmy Iovine, the head of Interscope Records, always throws this amazing post-Grammy party. It’s a small gathering, so if you’re invited, it’s really cool.
Oh my God, I think I purchased some Jimmy Choos, and they hurt like crazy. That’s when I realized that fashion truly isn’t about comfort; it’s about looking good.
What attracted me to Jimmy Bulger were the various facets of his personality and his humanity because I felt that the only way I could approach playing a character like him was to find his human side first and then map that out to see where it took the turn. He was a very complicated man.
When you ask people about guys they didn’t like because they were aggressive, there’s me, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors; not too many names would come up.
I grew up singing Ray Charles and Jimmy Reed.
To say that Jimmy Carter does not understand politics or is not a good politician denies the phenomenon by which he got to the White House. He is without question the best politician, when he’s working at it, of anybody I have ever seen.
I think when you look at Jimmy Butler when he came in, he hardly played as a rookie. He played more each year and then would become a top-10 player in the league. It’s a testament to his work ethic and how he approached things.
The early versions of ‘Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf’ were great. It’s sort of interesting: as it progressed, it became worse and worse, but the early versions were really fantastic with Jimmy Demaret and Gene Sarazen. They were classics.
I didn’t know who Jimmy Choo was. I think Vanessa Williams was also a very big part of that, teaching me about the designers. I had no choice but to learn, and I’m glad I did.
I got to see all these incredible blues players, like Jimmy Reed.
President Jimmy Carter was a citizen soldier. Ironically, he was considered weak because he didn’t kill anybody and he didn’t get anyone killed.
