10 QUOTES WITH «HUGHES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Hughes.
1
Charlie Adam
I have respected every manager I have played under, but if you can't learn from someone like Mark Hughes, it is going to be hard for you.
2
Diane Cilento
At boarding school you had to wear your name across your chest and your back, and obviously I had a pretty funny name. It wasn't Brown or Smith or Hughes.
3
Pearl Cleage
If I had to name one book that has had the most lasting influence on my work, I would pick 'The Big Sea' by Langston Hughes.
4
Marianne Faithfull
My story is really an affirmation of my strength and my luck. To live with a great artist like Ted Hughes or Mick Jagger is a very, very destructive role for a woman trying to be herself. In fact, it can't be done.
5
Anthony Michael Hall
In the years since I worked with John Hughes, there were many years where I literally had hundred of doors slammed in my face because I wasn't that kid anymore, and I wasn't a character actor, and I wasn't a leading man, and I wasn't whatever Hollywood was looking for.
6
Anthony Michael Hall
It's funny, like 15 years ago when I was a kid doing all the John Hughes movies, I remember Bruce Willis was the only guy who was transitioning from television into film.
7
Jim C. Hines
An editor named Kerrie Hughes wanted me to write a short story that brought my fire-spider Smudge from my goblin books into the present-day world. I came up with libriomancy as a way to make that happen.
8
Howard Hughes
We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.
9
John Logan
Cinema is a visual language, and you're always looking for visual metaphors for things. You know, if I was writing a play about Howard Hughes, I could have him give a monologue about how he's terrified to touch a doorknob. But on screen, you know, working with Marty Scorsese in 'The Aviator,' that became the series of images that told a story.

Edie McClurg
John Hughes loved improvisers.
