Glenn Miller Quotations

Why do you judge me as a musician, John? All I'm interested in is making money.

I thought I had swell ideas, and wonderful musicians, but the hell of it, no one else did.

By giving the public a rich and full melody, distinctly arranged and well played, all the time creating new tone colors and patterns, I feel we have a better chance of being successful. I want a kick to my band, but I don't want the rhythm to hog the spotlight.

I haven't a great Jazz band and I don't want one.

We started 14 months ago. The original edition was 10,000 copies and we're now up to 70,000.

We're going to take back our country by whatever means necessary.

We brought in some subtle maturity into the area of the eyes, into the area of the nose. These are again slow changes, very small, but we have to be conscious of that when we do the age progression.

We're going to change it. White people are going to wake up. We're going to run for office. I'm running for Congress. Fifty million white men out of work, then whitey will fight. He won't fight until then.

We're getting a lot more people to log on and to learn our viewpoints. We've also got a radio network 24/7.

Three years of reduced funding of public libraries have taken a toll. We agree that local municipal funding is our weakest area, but only state incentives can improve local support in a long-term, consistent manner.

We want the image to be recognizable, that's our goal.

Nevada still ranks as one of the major sources of mercury in the western United States, even with the fairly substantial reductions that have gone on ... probably the third largest state. I think we just went under California. Texas and California are the No. 1 and 2 states. But we're No. 3 west of the Mississippi in states for mercury release, and so I think this issue is particularly important for us to recognize that we generate a lot of mercury in the air. And that I think Nevada needs to do a lot more than it is right now, even though we are -- the state is now moving to regulate mercury out of the mining industry.

One of the funniest lines we hear when we visit with people in the Capitol and talk to the decision-makers is, 'Well, the Internet has pretty much made the library obsolete.

I think the Internet is a threat to the traditional big labels because they do not fully understand it.

White people are dying out. Genocide is being committed against us. I admire blacks in that they are very racist. They stick together don't they?

We provide commentary and analysis of what's going on in the world, and a world view from a white person's perspective.

We're careful to tell our folks it's not a done deal yet. There will be a lot of bickering and posturing over this budget. But it is welcome.

We're not done changing, that's for sure. And I don't think we fully understand the changes that are coming.

We thought the condos were the worst aspect of the project.

As they are starting to understand it, they are already behind the curve, so they have a lot of catching up to do. The labels need to realize that their role has changed.

There's no question that inflation has occurred, and $75 million is not the same today as it was then. That said, from where we sit, what's past is past.

There's not enough data to suggest there's a problem with PAH in Lake Tahoe except with some of the marinas, ... We didn't see anything that compelled us to recommend management of boating at Tahoe solely because of PAH.

They didn't have to worry about us anywhere else, but now maybe they'll be looking over their shoulder.

There's always a little bit of this everywhere. This is a product of combustion, so there's some in the air. You've got to develop your lab so that you have ultra-clean techniques.

It's a big-city feel in a small town. It will jump-start our gateway to the city.

It makes me feel like I have more options than just, you know, calling the airlines or calling the travel agent,

It's giving people an option of owning your home, having that feel, but not having a lot of overhead,

If you are regulating on a basis of toxicity, from what we've seen, there is no basis for further regulation, ... But they are not regulating based on that.

We leaders are criticized for a lot of things. It's always true after a band gets up there and is recognized by the public.

I haven't got a great jazz band and I don't want one. Some of the critics, Down Beat's among them, point their fingers at us and charge us with forsaking real jazz . . . It's all in what you define as 'real jazz.' It happens that to our ears harmony comes first. A dozen colored bands have a better beat than mine. Our band stresses harmony.

We can speak our honest minds without compromise and without censorship and to each other and to our people. We can take our message directly to our people.

We didn't come here to set any fashions in music. We merely came to bring a much-needed touch of home to some lads who have been here a couple of years.
