The influence of John Hughes is fully felt in the melod

The influence of John Hughes is fully felt in the melodrama ‘Donnie Darko.’ This first film written and directed by Richard Kelly is a wobbly cannonball of a movie that tries to go Mr. Hughes one better; it’s like a Hughes version of a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Elvis Mitchell
Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry had more quality than Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Stephen Kinzer
I have a high range. Sometimes I sound like Stevie Winwood. Some people say I sound like Peter Gabriel. Some of the songs I write are funky. Others are slow. Some are ponderous, and some are there to shock. I must say some are pretty damn good, too.
Murray Head

Mike Rutherford
When I finished reading ‘100 Years of Solitude,’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I got really sad. I thought, ‘This will never happen for me, for the first time, ever again.’ Then I opened ‘Beauty Is a Wound.’ It’s a completely different story and writing style, but it has a similar place in my heart now.
Lucy Dacus
When I hear people say Patrice never had someone to fight him for his place, I think they have bad memories. They forget very quickly how I got to become Manchester United’s left-back. I fought with two great players in Gabriel Heinze and Mikael Silvestre.
Patrice Evra
I remember once seeing a guy in the grocery store who looked so much like my character the Archangel Gabriel, I wanted to go up to him and say, ‘Hey, put that Red Bull down. You’ve already got wings.’ My friend had to sternly remind me that he was a stranger and I did not, in fact, create him.
Alexandra Adornetto

Frances Beinecke
I love ‘Gabriel Knight’ and will always be proud of it. Despite the fact that I’ve done many other things, it seems to be the one thing that people remember. I hope ‘Gray Matter’ is as memorable.

I’m a huge stadium rock fan, but I’m also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay. I’ve realized that I love all forms of music and get excited when any artist goes crazy and creates something that is an experience.
Tom DeLonge
Everything gets thrown off depending on whether the Packers are playing. I grew up in L.A., and we had a terrible quarterback, Roman Gabriel. When I was 11 years old, I fired him, I fired the Rams, and I picked a quarterback I aspired to be. That was Bart Starr. That’s how long I’ve been a Packers fan.
Lyor Cohen
For me, there’s nothing better than getting immersed in a sprawling, epic, multi-generational family saga, and ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the most sprawling, epic, and multi-generational of them all.

I’m topical as hell. That’s not going to change if I lose weight. There are a lot of comics that do ‘fat jokes’ better than I do – Louie Anderson, John Pinette, Gabriel Iglesias. These guys are phenomenal.
Ralphie May
I live a normal life. But I’m always thinking about what I’m going to do next, musically. ‘Do I need a fresh producer? What was Peter Gabriel doing when he was 32?’

I had never really liked the music by Gabriel Faure, but just by chance, listening to some pieces by him, I got very interested. So I listened to almost everything. All the pieces written by him. I was digging deeper and deeper. I’m not sure I still like his music or not, but it’s interesting.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Like Juan Gabriel and Ana Gabriel, both singers and son

Like Juan Gabriel and Ana Gabriel, both singers and songwriters of legendary talent, Marco Antonio has reshaped a kind of Mexican romanticism. What he brings to pop music is the kind of songs that really talk to people’s hearts.
