10 QUOTES WITH «CAMPFIRE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word campfire.
1
Gavin DeGraw
I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.
2
Alex Ebert
I try to give the music more of a campfire feel as opposed to a library atmosphere. I like when you can hear people hanging out in the songs and doing a little shuffling. It creates a feeling of participation.
3
John Eldredge
You get guys around a campfire, and they start telling their stories. That's the fellowship that they want to be in.
4
Linda Ellerbee
The new national campfire - radio.
5
Robert Englund
I'm a Hollywood kid, and I know that there are only so many stories. Only so many tales around the campfire that we have to tell. Then we have to regurgitate them. Our grandparents' movies were all remakes of silent films - we forget that, but it's true.
6
Newt Gingrich
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
7
Gregory Harrison
So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.
8
Louis L'Amour
I think of myself... as a troubadour, a village storyteller, the guy in the shadows of the campfire.
9
Colin Trevorrow
I've said before: 'If you're going to earnestly sing a song around a campfire, you'd better be a Muppet!' Or else we're just not going to buy it.
10
Donald E. Westlake
I start with the story, almost in the old campfire sense, and the story leads to both the characters, which actors should best be cast in this story, and the language. The choice of words, more than anything else, creates the feeling that the story gives off.
