How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.
People were consuming on average less calories after the war than during the war. Things were still very tough. If you look at the film footage of London streets, even in areas which weren’t slums, there are kids in the streets who are dirty and have no shoes on. It was rough. There was a real edge.
If those in charge of our society – politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television – can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.
I think all songs should have weather in them. Names of towns and streets, and they should have a couple of sailors. I think those are just song prerequisites.

At the end of the day, I was listening to the big homies and they were saying, ‘Yo, man, you got talent, man, stay off the streets.’

I’m happy that kids are getting off the streets and making their families proud.
I don’t want my kids to be on the streets period. I want my kids to be nerds. I want them to be book smart or playing sports – I don’t want them to know nothing about the streets.

I don’t walk the mean streets.
I grew up in the streets of San Diego, and I love this city dearly. I love this city. San Diego is my home. Even though I represent Los Angeles, this is my home.
Coming up in the streets, I had to learn how to read people early on. I’m a very analytical person. I observe a lot of the things that people don’t notice.

I learned a lot I wouldn’t have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.
Long after the bomb falls and you and your good deeds are gone, cockroaches will still be here, prowling the streets like armored cars.

When he was on the streets, I was consumed with Nic. I was obsessed with him to the point that I could barely function.
Gay culture is in a coming-out process of its own. From out of the closets in the ’60s, the culture moved onto the disco floors of the ’70s and through the hospital wards of the ’80s and onwards to the streets.
I was very lucky because hanging out at a golf course was much better than being on the streets. Golf taught me a great deal. I grew up surrounded by people who were professionals – lawyers, doctors, engineers. Around them, I learned how to behave, speak, eat, dress. I had nothing at home. The club was my home.
Growing up playing on the streets, you made your name by talking mess and getting into people’s heads.
I’m the kind of person who likes to hang out and observe what’s going on in the streets, or in certain places. I used to do that a lot. But having to become an international superstar, I can’t do that comfortably! But it’s all positive, you know.
The Arab Spring, nobody’s in the streets demonstrating for radical Islam; they’re in the streets with a window of democracy. They want our political reform, our social justice, and our economic opportunity.
I don’t like to open my mouth a lot because, I’ll be honest with you, man, I come from the streets.
I think if the church did what they were supposed to do we wouldn’t have anyone sleeping on the streets.

With my fighters, there’s no excuses like, ‘Hey, listen, he’s a dumb guy. Came from the mean streets of somewhere. He’s just not all that bright.’ These are educated guys, most of them went to college, they have families, children, etc. These are smart, rational people I’m dealing with.
I remember coming to New York in 1974 to do a play here called ‘Equis.’ And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets, and I thought, ‘I’m home.’ I felt really at peace here.
I love walking the streets of New York.
I can give you a ‘Selfish,’ and I can still come give you, like, a ‘Jealous.’ I’m coming from the streets, but I can still give you personal situations and relationships that I’ve been in with females. You just never know; I’m just coming different.
My acting career began on the streets of New York. When I was a cop, I played many impressive roles, from derelict to a doctor, and my life often depended on my performance.
Jazz came out of New Orleans, and that was the forerunner of everything. You mix jazz with European rhythms, and that’s rock n’ roll, really. You can make the argument that it all started on the streets of New Orleans with the jazz funerals.
It is the police of America who are on the front lines, who are on the streets, who are in the daily contact with American citizens, who translate the dreams of American citizens when they succeed and frustrate the dreams when they fail.
Our streets should be safe at all times. You shouldn’t have to worry about things like knife or other crime.
When I was a kid, I would mess around on the streets with my mates, winding people up and making them angry. It got to the point where someone called the cops, and we had to run away. But to be honest, now I am a calm guy.
David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song, you were half way home. C’mon – Van Halen doing ‘Dancing in the Streets’? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else’s music.
I come from a very big family from every economic background. Some of the streets I talk about, I’ve actually walked on because I have family from there. Jamaica has so many contradictions.
I hate to witness animals in captivity – or see circus elephants paraded down the streets. When animals are caged, it’s a loss of what they are.
It’s that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what’s happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who’s able to create.
The rocky time came right after I left school. I spent a lot of time at night navigating the streets of Paris trying to find something to eat.
Growing up in Canada, I used to love a walk in the early morning, when the streets are quiet and the sun was shining. Walking in the morning is still very refreshing… and if I can, I will walk to my first meeting or appointment.
When I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.
Boxing gave me the discipline and took me away from the streets and away from the corners. It changed my life, you know. Boxing dragging me away from all the bad potential I had.
I remember I’d be playing in the streets with friends, sometimes barefooted. I’d come home with sore feet, but wanting to do the same the day after. That passion made us keep playing. Playing in the dirt was our daily joy.
The fire trucks are out, there are thousands of people in the streets. You have a choice. You can have this, or you let Negroes eat at the lunch counters.
There’s something special about racing in real streets. The ‘artificial’ circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own – Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
Philadelphia’s awesome. It’s one of my top home-away-from-homes. When I walk around on the streets there, people recognize me. They think I’m from Philadelphia, because I was there so much and because I’m so associated with Philadelphia through ECW.
We were in love with ‘Mean Streets’ and ‘Taxi Driver.’ We had no idea why nothing remotely like that was done in Denmark.
In Alexandria, my birthplace and my home, all streets bearing Jewish names have been renamed.
I’ve kind of always had this soft spot in my heart for the homeless community, mainly homeless kids who live on the streets.
The Iraq War. No one took to the streets over it. It certainly would have been appropriate. If anybody even hinted we should… you were called un-American and not supporting the troops.
