I wrote a lot in study hall to while away the hours.
I usually wear my Hall of Fame ring on a more regular basis because it is more like a college ring. It is a little more understated. The Super Bowl ring is kind of loud, but I take great pride in those two things.

Prince presented us at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Ravi Shankar was an incredible teacher. I sat on stage with Robby Krieger and studied at his school of Indian music here in L.A., so at Royce Hall we were sitting next to him watching his hands bleed while he got possessed. This is the highest level you can get.
I’m not a big fan of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s just a personal thing, not an ego thing.

The only thing an actor can do is, whatever lands on the carpet in the hall, you read it, and if you can’t put it down, that’s the job to do.

I created ‘Captain Underpants’ when I was in the second grade. I was constantly getting in trouble for being the class clown, so my teacher sent me out into the hallway to punish me. It was there in the hall that I began drawing ‘Captain Underpants’. Soon I was making my own comic books about him.

Hopefully, one day – I want to make this big goal and be in the WWE Hall of Fame one day.

I always felt that I was one of the women who helped lay the foundation for rock and roll. But I’d always been overlooked by the Hall of Fame.
I am going to go on with my life, and if they call me and say ‘Yo, you are going to be in the Hall of Fame or you are going to be in this,’ then I am going to say, ‘So be it.’ If I make it, I will go to the ceremony, and I’ll have fun.
Changes your life, getting into the Hall of Fame. For the rest of my life, I’ll be known as Hall of Famer George Kell.
The great thing about this town hall format is that it allows us to hear what’s on the minds of Americans. Tonight, it was clear – voters have quite a few questions about the direction in which the current administration is headed.
Incredibly, a typical town hall official spends 85% of their time satisfying ministers in Whitehall and a puny 15% of the day for local residents. We believe that this relationship is upside down.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a canonizing institution. Jann Wenner has worked to make Rolling Stone the keeper of the canon since 1970. I don’t like that, because he uses institutional power and he uses economic power to enforce those standards.
Larry Brown molded me into an MVP and a Hall of Fame player.
I am one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans. I still listen to that stuff incessantly. Laura Nyro does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriter Hall of Fame? Absolutely.
To wind up in Cooperstown is surreal for me. To go into the Hall of Fame is one thing. When you think of all the other Yankees that are in here, it’s pretty special. This is just a shrine. To visit it, much less be inducted, it’s still sort of unbelievable to me.

I think you’re the grumpy Kid in the Hall, I’m the nice Kid in the Hall.
