10 QUOTES WITH «EIGHTIES»
Famous quotes and sentences with the word
eighties.
Growing up in the eighties, you could go from one style in a movie to another style, and that was okay. In the nineties, you had to obey your niche. You had to follow the code and never step outside of exactly what you're doing.
There's a whole apparatus for indie bands now, but back in the eighties it was just getting built. The early people really took it on the chin.
A couple of years I taught in graduate programs at NYU and Columbia, in the early eighties.
Bush began helping Enron in the eighties.
I counterfeited Mark Kostabi's artworks. During the eighties, Mark didn't paint his own paintings. Instead, he had other artists painting them, and he just added his signature. So what I did was to use some of the same painters, and signed his name myself.
I had been an abject fan of Robert Stone since the early eighties, when I borrowed a copy of 'A Flag for Sunrise' to read on a plane to Rome. I was twenty-something, with a first novel under my belt.
In the the late seventies and early eighties, I played background roles in thirty movies... Woody Allen movies, Scorsese films, you name it. Whatever was being shot in New York, I was doing stand-in and background work because I wanted to be close to the camera; I wanted to see what was going on.
I aim to be pretty - I gave up dressing to be sexy in the eighties.
I liked back in the sixties where you'd turn on the radio and go 'Oh that's Hendrix, that's Creedence Clearwater, that's The Doors, there's The Grass Roots, The Monkees, there's Big Brother.' You could just instantly hear it and tell. But in the eighties and nineties there's no way you could do that.
If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!
