Lee Quotations

I'm very proud of 'The Words' and all the cast. I think Lee Sternthal and Brian Klugman are like new directors, and I really believe in them, and they're gonna rock everything.

I never felt Lee Strasberg could act, and I fail to see how someone who can't act can teach acting.

Sometimes in the dark of night I begin to think. And I wonder if Lee started all this violence.

Bruce Lee has always been a hero of mine, and the choreography in 'Enter The Dragon' is amazing.

I was a student of Sanford Meisner for three years at the Neighborhood Playhouse, and I studied with Lee Strasburg for five years and became a member of the Actors Studio. What I studied came right from the horse's mouth. My students have a lot to learn from me, and I am so eager to share it.

Until Lee Elder, the only blacks at the Masters were caddies or waiters. To ask a black man what he feels about the traditions of the Masters is like asking him how he feels about his forefathers who were slaves.

I knew I'd never make it back to the major leagues as a player. Lee MacPhail came to me and asked if I wanted to manage the Yankees' Fort Lauderdale club. I thought about it for a day or two and decided to take the job. That was the turning point. I knew it was what I wanted to do.

I don't really want to be compared to Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, but I really feel honored and really proud that people actually see me as them or similar to them, and because they are my inspiration for what I have become today. I am really honored that people compare me to those people.

I came to Los Angeles only after filming 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' when I was cast in the independent movie 'Delirium.' Director Lee Roy Kunz was looking everywhere for a Russian actress. He saw my photos, and only then he learned where I starred before! Eventually, I spent several months in the U.S., and we made the film quickly.

The thing that is so great about Ang Lee is the diversity in his filmmaking, from 'Brokeback...' to 'The Hulk.'

I was named after my two uncles. Roger Lee and Richard Allen. They simply changed the spelling to Leigh-Allyn to make it more feminine.

'Freaky Friday' was really fun. They had a ping-pong table on set because Jamie Lee Curtis is really good at ping-pong. She's awesome at it. And they had a tournament, and we would play during filming. Whoever won the tournament would get to keep the table. I think it was Jamie who kept it.

Ang Lee is very precise. He will show you everything, and will let you know what he is thinking about the whole project. There are a lot of rehearsals before shooting, and you already reach a certain standard. Then he will ask for more.

I've been reading Tanith Lee since I was a teenager, beginning with 'The Birthgrave' and 'The Storm Lord.' Only recently did I discover, to my delight, how many more of her books I've yet to read.

I would still work with Mel Gibson! He's talented, man! Come on, he came up with 'Apocalypto,' man! I want to work with this guy. I've worked with Steven Seagal. He's out of his mind. I mean, I've worked with Spike Lee for four films. I've worked with some people that you can say are right there teetering between genius and madness.

'Rent' was a special project for me. It was my first notable screenplay job. I worked with two wonderful directors on it, starting with Spike Lee in the summer of 2001. I wrote a draft for Spike and he was really good to me.

Bruce Lee loved all different styles of martial arts. He believed that you shouldn't limit yourself to one style, because martial arts is just another form of human expression.

The new book is a result of my well-documented... absorption in Samurai movie culture. It's called 'The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger novel,' and it takes Bob to Japan in search of the sword his father recovered on Iwo that has gone missing under extremely violent circumstances.

My favorite country blues player was Big Bill Broonzy. City blues was Freddie King, but I liked them all - Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Ralph Willis, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee and the three Kings, B.B., Albert and Freddie. Jazz-wise, I listened to Django, Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery.

People like Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart - all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there's a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up.

I used to love, and I still do, Lee Ann Womack. And Alison Krauss. I mean, how many Grammys does she have? She's just remained solid and true and great, and I respect that.

My god-father, Bob Wall, was in a couple of Bruce Lee movies, and he trained Bruce Lee when he came to America.

The Best of Elvis Presley, Doris Day, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hailey and the Comets, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Frankie Laine all topped the charts in the '50s. Load a playlist of rock n' roll royalty. You're spoilt for choice.

I did business the same way President Lee did, and from what I read in the papers, the same way President Ma has done. But I have been charged for misuse and misappropriation. People need to learn at the most basic level that valid charges have not been brought against me.

They did offer me a chance of being a V in the crowd, but it's not my scene. I think they just thought it would be fun for me to do that, but I don't know. I heard that Stan Lee appears in every movie of his.

I think we have a good foundation which Mr. Lee Kuan Yew laid down, but you have to move forward. Now the question is what can Mr. Lee Hsien Loong and his team, and all our younger ministers can do now to build on the foundation which Mr. Lee Kuan Yew has built.

I love 'The Walking Dead,' 'Shameless,' and - this is going to sound really dorky - I'm obsessed with 'Dance Moms.' I love Abby Lee Miller. Honestly, if there's such a thing as past lives, I was definitely a dancer. Maybe if I ever get a big enough name, I can call Abby Lee Miller myself and ask her to be my private coach.

Many people we consider legends, such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry, remain so scarred by scandals, injustices and regrets from decades earlier that they're barely able to appreciate their accomplishments.

I'll make a diet cheesecake, but I'll put it in a Sara Lee box. Or I'll have a huge bowl of pasta, but it's actually just a cup of pasta - the rest is vegetables. It makes me feel less deprived.

I did my 'Hulk,' but it was not easy. If I do another Hulk film it will always be compared to the Ang Lee thing, and my first one... if I come back, I'd love to do another superhero, something different that I can really put my touch on.

My first western was 'Death Hunt' with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin; that was where I learned to ride. The movie was based on a true story about a guy that eluded the Mounties in Canada. We were in Canada for six weeks riding horses.

No one told Miles Davis or BB King to pack it in. John Lee Hooker played literally up to the day he died. Why should pop musicians be any different?

I do a lot of touring, yes, and I have my whole life ever since I was 19 years old, when I used to tour with Al Jarreau, Rickie Lee Jones, and Jackson Browne as a side musician.

My father's family can be traced back to 1400. I've been told by gypsies that there is unmistakeably gypsy blood in me. Lee is a gypsy name, you know.

When it came down to the last few games in district we had to win to make the playoffs and the kids stepped up and got it done. They stepped up again Tuesday night in a playoff atmosphere. Our seniors have dreamed about playing at the nice facility at Lee College. It's nice to see them accomplish that and play the way they did.

Throughout the '50s, tons of unknown locals came through Sun to record their demos. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis all made their first recordings at the former Memphis Recording Service.

With the players we've brought in over the last few weeks, it's a great shame Lee didn't stay around to enjoy playing with them and scoring goals.

With those two new shopping centers in south Lee County, there is a lot of recruitment in the retail industry and anything associated with those centers, including restaurants and the other venues.

We're still going to be an option team, but with Lee it was easier, ... We still believe in high school football to be successful you need to run the football and play solid defense. That's what we're going to try and do.

Whenever we play Lee you know they are going to bring some intensity with them. I was pleased with our effort.

We have positive, enthusiastic learning centers in all our schools and that has carried over to Southern Lee, ... I'm hoping for a large turnout. Even people who don't or won't have children in school will have a very positive experience walking through Southern Lee High School. They will also see how schools have changed. As we consider renovations to Lee County High School, we will be looking at what we've done at Southern Lee." ()

This promotion is a reflection of the outstanding job Lee has done for the past 10 years. His relationship with organizations like NIRI and PRSA has proven invaluable to Business Wire.

We're just going to make sure that doesn't happen again, ... (Xavier) Lee could've been fresh.

Lee was the villain today. The fox, the crocodile, all of that. We couldn't have asked for a better game.

Lee was such a fine, high-class boy. If my son killed the president he would have said so. That's the way he was brought up.

Lee was such a fine, high-class boy.. If my son killed the president he would have said so. That's the way he was brought up.

Lee was really happy with her. She came through the race perfectly and hopefully we are looking at another Oaks.

Lee was out cold for four minutes, and the video will clarify how late Sean was tackled - if you call it a tackle. I was very disappointed in the assistance given to the referee.

Lee was missing them so far, I had to take him out.

Lee was first thought to have a brain tumor.

Lee was fantastic tonight. He has been blessed with a lot of talent, but what I am extremely impressed with is his mental game.

Lee was aggressive, not just with his shot, but that's the best defense he's played for a while. He was there.

Lee truly was a giant in the health insurance industry. Those of us who have worked for him were greatly honored to have that opportunity and we will miss him deeply. Not only was he our boss, but he was a true friend.

Lee tried to kill me and that wasn't nice. I came through it and I gained great heart.

(Lee) threw his fastball well. They swung the bats well still but Lee did a good job.

Lee Teng-hui is a remarkable man. And as a talented politician he moved the island forward by increasing democracy, and mostly he opened up trade routes with China.

Lee Sparks had an awesome day. He won a major decision in his first match and pinned his next two opponents to finish in first on the day.

Lee said in the dressing room that it was the worst tackle ever and I wouldn't argue with that. It was horrific. He has a badly bruised knee and could be out for a few weeks.

Lee said he wants to play in the Football League and I understand that.

Lee (Robinson) has gone back to the United and done very well,

Lee Raymond really set the standard for other CEOs in the industry. Everybody else copied Lee Raymond, but you can't duplicate what he's done.

Lee might be one of the best shooters I've coached, but what he doesn't get enough credit for is his ability to defend on his perimeter. He's probably our most consistent defender in terms of keeping guys in front of him and challenging shots.

Lee just opens up everything for everybody else when he's on.

Lee is really starting to sharpen everything up.

Lee is one of those guys who understands scouting reports, schemes and how we are guarding. You can be rest assured that he is going to follow everything to the minute detail of what he has to do. So, forget about the shooting part of it, we have just lost maybe our best overall defender.

Lee is not with a club right now and is spending time with us.

Lee is a powerful kid. He's off to a pretty fast start and hopefully he'll stay hot.

Lee is a physical team. They have four players 6-4 or taller and they push you off your blocks and keep you from setting up your shots. You have to shoot well against them, because they play well defensively and you won't get many shots.

Lee is a natural leader. He's been great to me, just telling me crowds are going to say this, or they're going to try to do this. He just makes sure you're doing your thing.

(Lee is) a joyful raconteur, a woman with grit, grace and humor. Lee is the desert's lover. Her voice is a torch in the wilderness.

Lee is a guy who has a lot of experience playing up front and back on defense. I really like the experience level he brings. I think the potential for him to bring a solid, physical presence is a real positive thing.

Lee has talent. It takes us 10-to-15 plays to score. It takes them one or two.

Lee has some of the best court presence I've ever seen. He passes better than any big man I've coached against.

Lee has one of the biggest hearts I've ever come across. He's an extremely generous person.

Lee has exploded. He's exactly the energy the ensemble needed.

Lee has been working hard this year. Hopefully he can improve and get some places.

Lee has been a lot of our offensive power.

Lee has been a legend in the pantheon of industry leaders since the beginning of time. He commands this tremendous aura of respect when he speaks. People do listen.

Lee had an injection on Friday and he won't be in until tomorrow. Dennis seems to be a bit better, but we'll take a closer look at him later in the week, while Jon probably needs a couple of days treatment and could probably do with the rest.

Lee grew up and had his education in Japan, he has a strong Japan complex and must trust Japanese health system more than Taiwan,

Lee gets a lot of credit for his perimeter shooting. Forget about the shooting part of it, we've just lost maybe our best overall defender. Lee is our most consistent, most disciplined, best defender.

Lee fell off his bicycle, that was pretty much it. That's all it really is, no car accident or anything like that. It was a freak thing that I feel bad about for Lee, but we've got to try to get him back as soon as we can.

Lee doesn't really have a go-to player now. They might have a hard time matching up. They'll probably have to spread their scoring around.

Lee did a good job and threw a lot of strikes.

Lee crossed the line, but everybody does some wrong, and he has been very supportive of people in the community.

Lee County, like all of Florida especially the west coast, is booming.

Lee County is perhaps a spectacular example of a backwards market. In most markets jobs come first and then housing. In Florida and particularly Lee County, the retirees come first and then the jobs and retail.

Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I've always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers.

She got 24 against Lee. I talked to the Lee coach (Bill Boyd), and he said they just couldn't handle her. I thought we did a good job with her.

Most people's salaries didn't increase by that much, ... Lee County had a concept called a (tax) rollback.

Mr. Lee did his analysis different than ours. We based ours more on income-generating measures, and Mr. Lee didn't put any weight on (those) measures.

Mayor Lee broke the tie, and not one person there was in favor of that,

My favorite show is 'The View' with Barbara Walters, ... I tape it every day. I watch all the tapes. I follow Kathie Lee (Gifford) in all her stuff. She is unbelievable. She is on fire.

Of course everyone knows the song God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood and to honor our military, there is not a more perfect guy. And he's in high demand for that very reason--entertaining our troops about the world, and we thought, why not in our own backyard?

Memphis has forever been known as the capital of blues music and, of course, the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis. What we do primarily is focus on the music indigenous to Memphis and the music it influenced -- today's alternative rock and hip-hop.

My father was, like, the token bad white guy in all the old Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee films.

My father was a big Bruce Lee fan. He's Chinese-Hawaiian, and my mother is Chinese. He used to take us to all these really fantastical films with martial arts in them. And Bruce Lee was amazing.

I wouldn't consider it an off night necessarily. But Charlie just didn't have his usual stuff. But Lee came in and threw well.

I didn't want to give Tennessee a chance to set their defense. Lee got a great look. It just didn't go down.
