Jones Quotations

It's Toby Jones playing Alfred Hitchcock, not Alfred Hitchcock. We all felt that his silhouette was crucial, so his nose and lips were crucial as well. We had to build it out a bit to get the silhouette. But, with my nose being so small within the proportion of my face, the first nose was too big. I felt like a nose on parade.

I met Quincy Jones in Seattle. We were kids together... liked each other when we met and have been close ever since. He wasn't writing when we met - in fact, I more or less started him off to write; voicing, harmony, and stuff like that.

All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.

I can tell you 100 percent Pastor Jones will not burn the Quran tomorrow. There will be no Quran burning.

My very first role was with James Earl Jones on 'Gabriel's Fire' on TV. He drove a Chevy Citation, which is the exact same car that I bought from a guy in San Francisco called Sandy Boone. I showed up on set, and James Earl Jones was driving the car I had bought from Sandy for $250.

When I was 16 or 17 I heard the Count Basie band with Jo Jones and Lester Young and Herschel Evans and I couldn't believe it. They were the greatest swing band. I really fell in love with that sound. Everybody danced!

Manchester was a fantastic place to go out in. There were 10 clubs with world-class cabaret and comedians. You'd go in and Tom Jones might be singing, or Shirley Bassey or Engelbert Humperdinck.

I don't much like things to go by somebody's name, like the 'Bob Jones Group Jam Band.'

If I book a table at a pub, or I've got an appointment at an optician's or something, I'll walk in and I'll say, 'This is Tom Jones here,' And they'll go 'Awww, I thought it was gonna be him.' They think it's gonna be the real guy. I've been ridiculed a lot throughout my life for it.

I was a Charles Schulz kind of guy. I didn't read comics books. The Warner Bros. guys were great - Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng.

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.

Norah Jones is a breath of fresh air. Norah Jones can sing and play. She's got some talent. I was totally ecstatic that that girl got noticed, because she's wonderful.

There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.

George Jones is country soul. Once this kind of music sits in you and you take it all, it reaches down into your soul. George Jones to me was one of the most soulful singers of any genre. That drew me to his music. He knew how to present a song without really thinking about it.

It's both Indiana Jones and 'National Geographic' that inspired me to be an Egyptologist.

I was a huge fan of Bobby Cox, a huge fan of Chipper Jones and John Smoltz. And just those guys, I grew up watching those guys and often wondered early on in my career if I would ever have the chance to play for the Atlanta Braves, and there it was. God kind of answered my prayers.

That's kind of how my jobs have happened over the years. It's been referrals throughout the creature effects/make-up world. The drawings happen, and they see that it's a tall, skinny thing, and they go, 'Let's get Doug Jones for that.'

Ever since I began writing my Junie B. Jones series, people have been assuming that the character is based on me when I was a little girl. The fact is, though, that Junie B. and I have very little in common.

When I first played at the Apollo, the owner didn't even know who Sharon Jones was. The Apollo had never seen so many white people coming uptown.

As far as I'm concerned, Parnelli Jones was the greatest driver of his era. He had aggressiveness and also a finesse that no one else possessed. And he won with everything he put his hands on, including off-road.

The squiggly rubber Davy Jones face in 'Pirates' with the tentacles, barnacles and goobers - that's modeled on me.

There was all this talk when Obama got elected about how we were living in a postracial world. But we're not. Until we get to the point where James Earl Jones can play, say, George Washington, race matters. You wouldn't put a white actor in blackface to play Othello. You shouldn't have a white actor in what amounts to yellowface to play Asian.

I think a lot of us feel, when we look at the Dow Jones plunging, alienated - you do feel as if we're in the grip of some alien force that slipped human control.

People who take risks like Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones take a second to catch on, but eventually they do because they're different and honest in a musical landscape that's not always like that.

My father was a carpenter, a very good carpenter. He also worked for the Jones boys. They were not family members, we weren't related at all. They started the policy racket in Chicago, and they had the five and dime store.

I want to affect culture. I want to have my mark on everything. I give examples of people like Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones - those are the people who I look up to. The game wouldn't be the same without them. What happens in the course of 5 years isn't really important to me. I care about what they'll say about me in 50 years.

Animation translates well to a small screen. When you look at Walt Disney or Chuck Jones - you know, Bugs Bunny - there really isn't any difference if you watch on a very big screen or a computer screen.

Sometimes a producer and an artist get together and they make magic like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. As far as my own music career - you could liken my chemistry with Timbaland to Marty Scorsese and Robert De Niro.

We believe that his statement was credible, and we at this point do not suspect that Jones was involved in the firing of the shots.

We're going to need to show more intensity than we have in the past. Co-Lin is a better team than Jones and the split with Pearl River shows that.

We have never been worried about scores. Our greatest concern has always been that the course be kept current with the times. Change has been a constant at Augusta National, starting in the earliest years of the tournament. Bobby Jones made innumerable modifications to the layout, and that philosophy continues to this day.

We want to stop the run first and then force them into a passing game. I think that's what we did two years ago when we went up there in the rain. We stopped FSU tailback Greg Jones for 15 yards on 13 carries. That just lets you tee off on the quarterback.

We were influenced by classic country acts like Merle Haggard and George Jones and Hank Williams but also by Clapton and the Stones and all the rock acts like that. I mean, what guitar player didn't start out with 'Satisfaction'?

There are points in time when the president looks into the camera and makes a pretty compelling acquitting of himself about how he feels about what Ken Starr has done to him, to his family, to his friends, and how he thought the Paula Jones case was politically motivated, and I think he's very sincere. You can tell this has hurt the guy.

We held Jones to 10 points and if you had to draw it up on paper, that's what you wanted to do coming in. With them having been in as many championship games as they've been in the last couple years, that's got to help some.

When I looked further into my mother's history, I realised that her anxieties and her neuroses could be accounted for by facts from a very early age. Her parents, William Henry Jones and Sarah Emily, were desperately poor.

We made an effort to slow down (Spencer) Stewart and (Dustin) Maguire. We decided to give (Mark) Schaefer and (E.J.) Jones a little more room, and they hit shots.

Simon Jones bowled exceptionally well in the first innings, so after losing him, the bowlers in the second innings deserve a lot of credit, ... They kept running in on a placid wicket that was really very slow. We had to use all our resources to whittle out those ten wickets and restrict them to a total where we only had to chase 130.

simply because if you look at the music business, there aren't a lot of new artists that can fill up an arena. Realistically, some of the best music today is (by) people like Norah Jones or Alicia Keys (who) are more suited (to) the intimacy of a theater.

Ms. Currie was not listed to be deposed and was not on the witness list in the Jones case ... Ms. Currie then, was not a witness who could have been tampered with.

One thing that I always loved about, say, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', is that Indiana Jones gets the Ark of the Covenant about sixty percent of the way through the movie. And then the rest of it is get-out-alive. To me, that's really cool. Because he's the one you care about at the end of the day.

Neither Mr. Jones nor anyone else has yet requested an investigation by the United States Department of Justice, ... If Mr. Jones requests an investigation and provides necessary information, the Department will evaluate the information and proceed appropriately.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Charlie Yates. Charlie was an outstanding amateur golfer and a member who was linked to Bobby Jones and the club's history, attending every Masters through 2003. He will be greatly missed.

But we're going in after a better game in Edinburgh and we have Mike Owen, Gareth Cooper and Steve Jones back.

Basically, I don't think that was a deal that in a million years Jerry Jones would have taken.

I have an occasionally recurring stutter, but not when in character on stage in a play. Odd. James Earl Jones has the same pattern; he stutters in everyday life but not when acting. Preparation requires an actor's concentration to make the words belong to another person, which is its own sort of trance.

I find Jessica Jones a much more interesting character to write for than Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is so noble and heroic, and I don't find that as interesting as one who's really damaged and flawed and has post-traumatic stress disorder.

If I was Bridget Jones and had a tick-list of things to look for in the perfect man, he would tick all the boxes

If the government hoped that the Butler inquiry was going to be no re-run of Hutton, I think it's pretty clear that Dr. Jones and others of similar view are going to prevent that happening.

He isn't going to hit me with the left hand anyway, so he won't have much use for that, ... whatever Roy Jones shows up, I am planning on destroying.

He may be the next Mordecai Jones or he may be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Whatever Roy Jones brings, it won't be enough. I've trained hard. I'm a better fighter.

We've been waiting. We're close and we're in line, hopefully, to get a team. An NBA team could play in the Edward Jones Dome until a new arena is built. St. Louis supports baseball and hockey, and there's no reason why they wouldn't support an NBA team.

When (Holmes) and Melvin Buckley go 2-for-21, and as well as Solomon Jones played offensively, when he only gets four rebounds, this is going to be the outcome." ()

Going to Jones Stadium, I saw a lot of crazy things there. It was always fun growing up and watching Tech, but I was always a Texas fan.

He's a special kid for us. You've got two Division I basketball players. You've got E.J. Jones getting all the attention in football and Joe is already getting the attention. Then there's Mark doing his job every day, coming in and just putting in the hard work just like everybody else and not really asking anything in return.

Historically, you've had one way to do it. You'd go out and buy one share or 100 shares of each of the underlying 30 stocks, and you would have a portfolio that acted like the Dow Jones industrial average,

When he comes in and listens to a song that you're asking him to play on and he turns to you and says, 'Hmm, that chorus goes a little long, doesn't it?' you (acquiesce): 'Yes it does. Yes, of course , Mr. John Paul Jones, sir. You are absolutely correct.' It really was one of the most special things that happened to me in my entire life. Sitting down with an acoustic guitar, teaching John Paul Jones a song I'd written while he's playing it on piano - it was too much.

Well, you don't want to go too far afield with a character like Indiana Jones. You want to keep it somewhat real but my God, there's certainly an element of the fantastic with Indiana Jones that you lack with Ethan Hunt.

He's passionate about it, but he's not so passionate that he has to be on the sideline at the end of every ballgame like (Dallas Cowboys owner) Jerry Jones or some of the others.

Jones is a player we admire and like and we have been making lots of phone calls concerning him.

Jones hits that runner over two guys and you can't be upset with that. He made a tough shot.

Jones has come down here to get some bowling training under my guidance. To bowl in Indian conditions would be a bit difficult for him and if he is a little more effective with new ball, Jones will be a complete bowler.

Jones County has a very serious school construction need, ... They have been looking for avenues since their tax base is so limited and their property tax is very high.

I think it's a great comparison. Bobby Jones was a great runner in transition, he was a great athlete on the floor. I believe as David continues to grow, his shooting will get better. He's a very versatile guy.
