10 QUOTES WITH «NEW YEAR'S EVE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word New Year's Eve.
1
Beth Broderick
I was a total nerd growing up. I'd rather sit home and read a novel on New Year's Eve and say, 'Wow, I read the whole thing in one night!' That was my idea of a big time.
2
Rick Danko
I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.
3
Alan Davies
The one I remember is going into London, as it was for us in Essex, on New Year's Eve in 1981. There were four of us and we'd had a few lagers on the way. One of my mates threw up in the Tube and then stood up and fell over in it. We thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen.
4
Fergie
Dick Clark will be truly missed. We will carry on his legacy every New Year's Eve.
5
Gloria Gaynor
My look is always glitzy for New Year's Eve, even if I am at home.
6
Debbie Harry

7
Debbie Harry
I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.
8
Kim Kardashian
I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.
9
Jessi Klein
I see an insidious problem in the marketing of weddings as 'the happiest day of your life.' The pressure that is placed upon this event to be the alpha and omega of your entire existence makes it, I think, into a kind of nuptial New Year's Eve, and we all know how that usually turns out.

Ronnie Milsap
The last time I saw Elvis was when I played my second New Year's Eve show for him in 1970.
