There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.
While President Obama assumes that at their core the Republican leadership team is just trying to do what’s best for America, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner assume that the president is cynically trying to secure his own reelection, power, and legacy.
People like Howlin’ Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart – all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there’s a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up.
Most of my ambitions were seeded at St. John’s. My time there was some of the best time I have spent on Earth thus far.
Actually, there was another band where we were three girls, around ’84 when I met John Zorn, called Sunset Chorus. It was just bass and drums and guitar- we didn’t make any records but we played a lot of different clubs in New York.
I explained to the lady my love for John and his work, and she made it possible for me to purchase one of the 24 proofs, the one for ‘I’m So Tired,’ which I have on my piano at home.
The abolitionists were not like the rugged people out West, and they were not like John Brown, either. They were people who made speeches and did politics.
Cubism is still the most important art movement for the same reason that John D. is still the most important Rockefeller.
Oh, I loved John Wayne. He was just so charming and easy to work with.
When you try to battle with John Ford, you have to give in.
The death of chief justice Rehnquist and the president’s nomination of John Roberts raises the stakes for the court and the American people exponentially.
I read that John Hughes script for ‘Mr. Mom,’ and I thought, ‘This guy is a funny writer.’ I went: ‘You ought to stick around and direct this thing.’ But he didn’t; he left, and look what he became. A really legendary comedy director.
I do like what Alicia Keys and John Legend are doing. With their music, you keep your clothes on.
New Jersey is a great place to live. And we have given some of the best talent to the world, from Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, to Jerry Lewis to Bon Jovi to Frank Sinatra.
I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd, the Doors, Elton John, Sabbath, Metallica, GN’R, Megadeth – just classic rock, classic metal stuff.
I deal with first-hand sources. And give the people, even John Sununu, the opportunity to respond to what I’ve been told by first-hand sources.
I had supported Governor George W. Bush over Senator John McCain in the 2000 Rhode Island presidential primary.
You initially become funny as a kid because you’re looking for attention and love. Psychologists think that’s all to do with mother abandonment. I think John Cleese has his depressions, and Terry Gilliam’s the same. All of us together make one completely insane person.
I find George Bush and Dick Cheney frightening, Donald Rumsfeld and John Ashcroft frightening.
I love John Denver. Townes Van Zandt is one of my all-time favorites.
Throughout the ages, Christians have adapted John of Patmos’s visions to changing times, reading their own social, political and religious conflicts into the cosmic war he so powerfully evokes. Yet his Book of Revelation appeals not only to fear and desires for vengeance but also to hope.
My dad was very much a John Wayne kind of guy, but he was also a great guy, great sense of humor, a real dedicated dad. I don’t think he ever missed a hockey game I was in.
Family is everything, although I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the most amazing minds over the years, including Renzo Piano, John Young, Graham Stirk and Ivan Harbour.
When working abroad you work pretty hard, but with time off, this is the greatest job in the world. You drive. You explore Memphis, or wherever you’ve landed, or go and see Dr John, or the Californian landscape. And, yes, I’ve had a few good meals.
I did nine episodes of ‘John Doe.’ I died of boredom.
All really great artists, Jackson Pollack, John Cage, Beckett or Joyce – you are never indifferent to them.
I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.
I had the honor and privilege of working with John Ritter.
I have to say, the coolest person I ever met in my whole life is John Mellencamp. I never met a person who was more secure about himself and his person.
My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature – science fiction is written according to the science fiction method.
I met John when I was 18 and I was in my first John Waters film when I was 19.
I have lost a lot of clothes over the years… Probably the oldest garment that I still have would be my Union Jack jacket from John Galliano’s spring/summer 1993 show.
I try to play ‘Maneater’ by Daryl Hall and John Oates at least once when I drive somewhere. It gets me so ‘hype,’ as the kids would say.
Every time a new rock singer comes out they don’t say, ‘Are you the new John Lennon?’ Every time a new rapper comes out, it’s not, ‘Are you the new Dre?’ I am never sure why this sort of genre, the categorization is so strong. I have not earned the right to be called the young Sinatra, but give me time.
John Danforth, I thought, was a great senator and did a great job with the United Nations. I think he’s a good man.
The nature of the beast is that film is a director’s medium. It’s not a Tracy Letts play, it’s a John Wells film. ‘August: Osage County,’ as a play, is done. Written. On the shelf. It’ll be performed in its entirety for years.
I’ve seen John Wayne’s ‘True Grit’ about 10 times.
In the John Paul II days, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had the advantage of staying in his cupboard – the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – exchanging views only with the Pope, and speaking publicly only through carefully written missives on doctrinal issues.
I had seen my buddies crash and burn. Keith Moon died, and I always thought that was the way he wanted to go. John Belushi was a dear friend. A lot of the guys that I ran with were ending up dead, and I saw myself right on schedule to do that. I had some moments of clarity – once in a while.
Technically, ‘Kukla, Fran and Ollie’ was a kids’ show, but adults watched almost religiously – and we’re talking adult adults, celebrated adults – including James Thurber, Orson Welles, John Steinbeck, Adlai E. Stevenson and lyricist Stephen Sondheim.
Why do you judge me as a musician, John? All I’m interested in is making money.
John Cena I respect, but he know he never get out of my camel clutch and I can break his back.
John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.
People say the Beatles were John Lennon. What is Paul McCartney? Chopped liver? But everyone has their own favourite members whose creativity they gravitate to. That’s normal.
Originally, I wanted a pop career and formed a girl-band ‘Genie Queen’ managed by Andy McClusky from ‘Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’, but it didn’t work out. My brother John is the talented singer and song-writer with ‘The Razz,’ while my other brother Sean is a footballer for Telford United.
I love playing music, so I think the whole John Varvatos look is kind of cool. I think he has a great style.
I’ve been on so many movies. Generally, I haven’t gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago, in ‘Dear John,’ I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn’t a producer. I felt like I put the work in, and I did have a lot of sway on what got fixed, reshoots, so on and so forth. It felt really good.
The first play I did was ‘Philadelphia Here I Come.’ Can you imagine that? I am 37 years old I am doing my second professional play and I am on stage with John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf and Gary Sinise. One huge name after another. I was terrified and petrified, could hardly get a word out of my mouth.
John Cleese once told me he’d do anything for money. So I offered him a pound to shut up, and he took it.
Robert Mitchum sounded different from John Wayne, and John Wayne sounded different from Clark Gable.
I got the pilot for ‘Scrubs’ sent to me, and in the margin for Dr. Cox, it said ‘a John McGinley type.’ So when I went in to audition, I said to Billy Lawrence, who’s a dear friend of mine, I said, ‘Well, I’m John McGinley.’
Pope John Paul, a man of peace and compassion, was one of the most revered leaders of our time.
If you could say of any one individual that the court as an institution is the length and shadow of that individual, surely it would be John Marshall.
It’s the classic story form. All staying equal, or proving equal, or being equal, this will all continue, and the next time around, we’ll move on to see what happened to Harry after he dove in the river, or who his friend John really was, and so on.
When I was about 18, I really started diving into Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer Trio and some of those things that have jazz elements but also a pop feel.
For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.
