I only write about what I do, what happens to me.

Something is better than nothing. Doin' anything for a man, there's investments involved, there's time and production. It's better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat.

Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.

I got Sonny up to Harlem, and we started street playin' in New York. We did that for three or four years and survived. We brought it back to the streets again.

Everybody would grab a guitar and listen to somebody else and call themselves a folk singer. When they didn't know no more songs, they'd run out of them.

There's a lot of good musicians who are unheard of. Get it down before they pass away.

I met Sonny after (Blind Boy) Fuller died, and me and Sonny played in the streets like everybody else.

Anywhere I'm wanted, I'll go. I've got to be wanted, though.

My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else.

That's what I liked about hitch-hiking. If a crowd wasn't big enough, I kept walkin.'

I don't sit here and dream because I don't care about the future. I wouldn't take nothin' for my past and I've got enough behind me that I can write forever.

I was playing with steel picks on a steel guitar, and there was no amplification needed.

I only write about what I do, what happens to me.

Long made it possible for me to get on records, so what little money he did take from me, if any at all, he was entitled to it. He didn't take something from me.

From then on in, me and Sonny started makin' records. My first records, Sonny was backin' me up. Sonny wasn't singin' natural at the time; he was singin' falsetto.

When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate 'em some.

When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, 'cause I didn't stay long.

I don't think anyone, until their soul leaves their body, is past the point of no return.

I saw that e-mail was insidiously invading Phones 4u, so I banned it immediately.

Where consciousness is concerned the appearance is the reality.

When I entered films, I rose to the top. In business, too, I want to be at the top.

I hope when I'm 80 that I get to Heaven and God doesn't recognise me.

Offense cuts you off from God. We separate ourselves from the pipeline. I've never seen anything block blessings from Heaven except offense.

If it is in the interest of the Palestinian people to have a hudna, we'll have a hudna. If it isn't, we won't.

I'm from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that's for sure.

Firms need to ensure that their ability to provide effective customer service keeps pace with their growth. If you're marketing your firm to new customers, you better be able to provide them service when they do business with you.

The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water - blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be - were enough to watch.

To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress.

I don't live in the past. I don't play my old records for that reason. I make a statement, then move on to the next.

When you get pregnant, you start reading pregnancy books. Everything has been pretty textbook. It's amazing how they can say, 'This week, this might happen,' and it kind of does. I had typical nausea the first trimester, which was no fun. And extreme tiredness.

I probably prefer Spanish football to the others. It's very technical, the way they play; they keep the ball well, and whenever Spurs have played against Spanish teams in the past, they've always made it difficult for us.

My undergraduate studies at Brown and graduate degrees from Harvard prepared me for a multifaceted career as an actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Every year, the Friday before the new Saturday-morning shows would premiere, the networks would do this big preview special, and I was always glued to the TV. As horrible as they were, they were entertaining at the time. There was a lot of showmanship from the networks based around the new lineup.

In every decision we make and in every policy we develop, we are committed to protecting those who cannot protect themselves... the very young and the very old.

He could have made a difference. He could have brought real jobs and development to hard working communities that need and deserve those resources. Instead, William Boyland, Jr. worked to glorify one person, and that was himself.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.

To our enemies all over the world who plan America's demise, please take my advice. Give up now. No matter what, you will lose. You will lose it all.

I have a son and a daughter; I try to teach them equally about balance, gender, and gender equity.

I'd been a Bond girl and in Dracula films and 'Coronation Street,' but I was always hunting for work. After 'The New Avengers,' I never had to wait for work again.

When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
