The entrance into Jerusalem has all the elements of the theatre of the absurd: the poor king; truth comes riding on a donkey; symbolic actions – even parading without a permit! – David Kirk
I’m influenced by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelly, Roland Kirk, John Coltrane, B.B. King, and then by bluegrass. But when I was 16, bluegrass wasn’t cool. We was rock n’ rollers then: Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis. – Dickey Betts
I had always known that I couldn’t play Dr. King purely out of my own ability as an actor. When you look at him give those speeches, you can tell that he is taken up by something other than himself. He is flowing with an anointing that is directly from God. – David Oyelowo
I never needed much, and I never thought I’d get more than what I had. A trip to Burger King was the biggest thing in the world to me. Heaven. – Dave Grohl
The rage was in me, and if it wasn’t for the rage, then I wouldn’t know how to be calm. They feed off of each other. Just like when Malcolm X fed off Martin Luther King. They needed each other. – Gary Sheffield
The spirit of the kingdom undermines its defenses. People will rise against the king. A new peace is made; holy laws deteriorate. Paris has never before found herself in such dire straits. – Nostradamus
My role as king will be much like my mum’s as queen, so long as I remain in tune with the people. – Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark
You’re not a baby boomer if you don’t have a visceral recollection of a Kennedy and a King assassination, a Beatles breakup, a U.S. defeat in Vietnam, and a Watergate. – P. J. O’Rourke
I have been reading Stephen King since CARRIE and hope to read him for many years to come. – Dean Koontz
What was the reason for invading Iraq’ Was it a humanitarian crusade or an economic one’ I would be inclined to say the latter. It was the same with the Civil War, because the landed gentry’s money was being stolen by the king. – Dougray Scott
I have no desire to go in for tyranny or to play the part of King Charles. I hate tyranny in any field of human activity. – Charles Edison
It happened to me on ‘King of the Hill,’ where I’d left it before the end and didn’t really participate in the ending, and I always felt a little bit like I wanted to try a different version of that story. – Greg Daniels
Civil disobedience has almost always been about expression. Generally, it’s nonviolent, as defined by Henry David Thoreau, Gandhi, and King. – Marvin Ammori
When any young director gets hired by a studio to do a $125 million film based on a preexisting piece of intellectual property, they’re climbing into the meat grinder. And what you’re coming out with on the other side is a generic, heavily studio-controlled pile of garbage that ends up on the side of Burger King wrappers. – Neill Blomkamp
I did my first show when I was five and I was the King of the Oompa Loompas in ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ The kids’ theater company, I was the youngest one, so there wasn’t a part for me, so they made me the king of the Oompa Loompas. – Max Schneider

My inspirations include the Beatles – love, love, love them – Elton John, Carole King, and Stevie Wonder. – Gloria Estefan
I was at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where I thought, in my naivete, I’d stay for the rest of my career. I’d thought I’d work up through the ranks and go from spear carrier – or in my case, the eunuch, which was several rungs below the spear carrier – to King Lear. – Christian McKay
At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart. – Fernando Torres
Now I have an agent, a manager, a lawyer, a publicist, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men. – Christian McKay
The rise of King Crimson was so fast that, to me, it felt as if it was going out of control. And it was going so fast that I couldn’t keep up with what was happening. – Michael Giles
I have been thinking a lot about what we see in villains, how we relate to villains, and what it is about certain villains that we actually empathize with. Like Macbeth. We’re not supposed to like a guy who kills the king and takes over, but there’s something about him we’re really fascinated by. – Finn Wittrock
I used to hear all these guys on 78s at my mother’s when I was a teenager… I used to daydream that I was onstage playing the solos; I’m playing with B.B. King, and I’m playing with Lowell Fulsom, Jimmy McCracklin. And I literally ended up being in a band that backed them up at different clubs. – Cynthia Robinson
I was the King of Twinkie-Vision one day, the King of Jiggle TV the next, thanks to Farrah Fawcett and ‘Three’s Company.’ – Fred Silverman
