10 QUOTES WITH «JONES»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Jones.
1
Sean Connery
If anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film.
2
Norm Crosby
I met Elvis first in Las Vegas. I think I was appearing with Tom Jones and he came backstage to say hello to Tom or we went to his dressing room to say hello.
3
Neil Cross
What I love about Indiana Jones is he always bites off slightly more than he can chew. The guy he's fighting is always slightly tougher than he is, but he just refuses to give up. And that's what makes Indiana Jones a hero: not his superpowers, but his refusal to be beaten.
4
Taylor Dayne
But once you strip that down, you realize it's all about a voice, like a Norah Jones - that's inspiring to me.
5
Nonito Donaire
I liked Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali... those were the guys I was looking at growing up.
6
Daisy Donovan
All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.
7
Daisy Donovan
Bridget Jones has a lot to answer for.
8
Dr. Dre
When I think of the future, I think a lot of Quincy Jones and how he is an inspiration. Look at the quality of his work over so many years. He didn't even make his best record, 'Thriller,' until he was 50. That gives me something to look forward to. Nothing pulls you back into the studio more than the belief that your best record is still ahead.
9
Colin Firth
Bridget Jones is part of literary lore now and actually to be a part of it is enormously flattering.
10
Joanne Froggatt
I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I'm not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.
