I’m not from the South, but I love country music. And country music is really big in the Midwest. Connie Smith came from Ohio. Jessi Colter was from Arizona.
Fortunately, as we all know, it’s impossible for anybody but Jimmy Smith to really sound like Jimmy Smith.
Jeff Smith was the Julia Child of my generation. When his television show, ‘The Frugal Gourmet,’ made its debut on PBS in the 1980s, it conveyed such genuine enthusiasm for cooking that I was moved for the first time to slap down cold cash for a collection of recipes.
The first time I met Patti Smith was in a laundromat. We knew some of the same people, including Richard Hell.
Isaac Smith sounded like Curtis Fuller, Corey Hogan sounded like Sonny Rollins, Terrace Martin sounded like Jackie McLean. Already, at 13, 14, 15 years old.
Running backs like Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders, you were lucky to get a piece of them.
Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he’s also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting. Also, I liked ‘I Am Legend’ because it was so unexpected. The movie wasn’t what I thought it’d turn out to be.
To be the leading man it’s about the celebrity and the looks, and it’s tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith – they’re built for that. I ain’t. I’m more of a character guy.
At boarding school you had to wear your name across your chest and your back, and obviously I had a pretty funny name. It wasn’t Brown or Smith or Hughes.
Viola Davis, Patti Smith, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Julianne Moore. I could go on forever listing names. However… my greatest inspirations have, without a doubt, been my teachers, friends, and family.
There is nothing better than playing a scene with John Cleese or Maggie Smith. It’s electric. But I don’t think I’m the sort of person who needs to have an outer ego in order to produce something. I realised that through the travel programmes.
Well it’s not a matter for me to say what Llew Smith can or cannot do, he’s an elected Member of Parliament.
I submit that in the few minutes that Joseph Smith was with the Father and the Son, he learned more of the nature of God the Eternal Father and the risen Lord than all the learned minds in all their discussions through all centuries of time.
I tell my audiences today that I served 10 years in Nashville! That’s a joke, of course; I was grateful for the work. Bob Ferguson, who produced Connie Smith, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton, started calling me in.
When I was in the 9th or 10th grade, Cheryl was All-American, and she was getting all the pub. I thought to myself, ‘Why isn’t anyone paying any attention to me?’ I used to wish that I wasn’t Reggie Miller, that I was Reggie Smith or Reggie Jackson.
It’s going to be awesome getting to learn from a guy like Alex Smith, who’s had a ton of success in the league.
I grew up carrying crates of records for Will Smith and those guys.
I debated free trade in college. I came out as a free trader. I’m a free markets guy. I’m an Adam Smith guy.
I’m interested in Patti Smith and women who were iconic in a very hedonistic way.
When I started making my own music I was listening to people like Erykah Badu and Elliott Smith. I think I always gravitated towards slightly more understated voices because it felt like I could really connect with what they were saying. It felt more like a conversation.
I only read the very best music books. Donald Fagan’s memoir ‘Eminent Hipsters’ is great. Bob Dylan’s memoir ‘Chronicles’ and Patty Smith’s ‘Just Kids’ are both incredible.
I’m obsessed with Maggie Smith – the way that she can be the most brilliant actress in every single situation and then do Harry Potter, and still make me cry while she’s casting spells with a wand?
The question I always get is, Why didn’t you throw Dr. Smith off the Jupiter? I get that all the time.
When me and Sheila got married, all we had was an oval table, four chairs, a bed, and a painting by Matthew Smith.
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.
In the ’50s Morris Louis and I were not known, David Smith and Helen Frankenthaler were not much known.
I never really created a difference between Shaffer Smith, my actual name, and Ne-Yo. They are kind of one in the same. It’s been a bit of a gift and a curse. As far as Shaffer Smith is concerned, I’ve never viewed myself as a celebrity.
‘Downton’ is one of the best jobs in the world, and I’m looking forward to the next series for Maggie Smith’s wicked sense of humour.
Pulp paperbacks have always provided a training ground for men, Some of them went on to become respected authors – Dean Koontz, Nelson DeMille and Martin Cruz Smith, for example. Why couldn’t a woman?
There’s a part of me that wishes I could go out in T-shirt and jeans, ’cause I really love Patti Smith, Cat Power, girls who look so casual; that appeals to me ’cause I guess it’s the opposite from what I do. But I can never let myself just do that – I always have to try and dress up and create something.
I love biographies. I read Patti Smith’s ‘Just Kids.’ I’m into that time frame in New York, the ’70s and ’80s. In art school, I read ‘Close to the Knives,’ the autobiography of the artist and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz.
In his brief 21 years on this earth, Michael Smith Jr. touched countless lives.
Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he’s also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting.
I see Santa Claus and Joseph Smith and Luke Skywalker as the same person.
I’ve got the biggest crush on Patti Smith.
Those who speak ill of the spiritual life, although they come and go by day, are like the smith’s bellows: they take breath but are not alive.
I’m definitely a singer-songwriter. I’m somewhere in the vein between Elliott Smith and Jack Johnson.
Shepard Smith has frequently been the lone voice of reason on Fox News.
For Canelo to call me boring, I mean, is he serious with that? I mean, I’m boring but Rocky Fielding is really exciting. Yeah, sure Canelo. Liam Smith was so exciting. Everybody couldn’t wait for that.
I’ve never talked about being Jewish in a promo ever. But my name is just so blatantly a Jewish name. It’s not like my name is Maxwell Jacob Smith.
As soon as you see ‘Dame’ in front of someone’s name, you get nervous, but Dame Maggie Smith is the most wonderfully gentle woman I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say.
There’s a record I have that I really want to get to Sam Smith!
Liam Smith hasn’t got a belt, but I can get excited about that fight. If they pay me seven figures for the fight, I’ll take that fight.
John Smith from Oklahoma State was the greatest American wrestler of all time.
We’ve seen guys in the sport, like Steve Smith and Virat Kohli, who have actually benefited from the captaincy.
One day I want to be like Will Smith.
I believe that the appearance of God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in 1820 to Joseph Smith unlocked the heavens not only to the great spiritual knowledge revealed in this dispensation but also to secular knowledge.
I really look up to Will Smith. He’s internationally known, and people know him from everything. I don’t know any kid who hasn’t seen and liked Fresh Prince, or you’ll like one of his movies or his music. He’s perfect, and he’s done everything. That’s my dream: to be internationally known.
I like the Steelers now just because I played in Pittsburgh. I’m a fan, but I liked the Cowboys growing up. I like Emmitt Smith a lot.
When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them.
I grew up in the church and loved contemporary Christian music. I go back to the early days of when it first started with the likes of Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. Those people that really pioneered are heroes of mine.
Ali was the African-American who exulted in saying exactly what he was capable of, and the bouncing-boy braggadocio of hip-hop is impossible to imagine without him. So it makes sense that one of his spiritual children, the sunny-dispositioned rapper turned actor Will Smith, would play him.
Watch me on CNN/SI. Check out clips from ‘Quite Frankly.’ I’ve always been Stephen A. Smith. I’ve been this way since the day I was born.
After a casual listen, it might be easy to lump Rocky Votolato in with the downtrodden likes of Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith. But his songwriting is a bit more triumphant than theirs: Votolato would rather pull himself out of a gutter than wallow in it, focusing instead on the victory before the misery.
Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord has established His Church once again among men.
I started composing when I was around 13, and back then, people used to say that I needed to be a composer or a performer, but I can’t be good at both of them. I could never understand why anyone would say that. Jellyroll did both, Bessie Smith did both, and so did I.
Sam Smith knew who I was!
To write long pieces – or not even long pieces – to write stuff like the columns of Red Smith and people like that – they’re different then what it is today. Everything today is based on x’s and o’s. Inside baseball, it’s all, ‘Who’s gonna win?’ or you’re comparing things – it’s not as thoughtful as it used to be.
