King Quotations

I always thought if I had a band it would have the energy and feel of early Police, since that's where my roots are, and then the harmonies of the Eagles, and the technique of King Crimson or something like that. Fast, up-tempo, beat-the-hell-out-of-the-drums, because that's my style. Energy, but sophistication, rhythmically and melodically.

The Bourbon King was first ambassador of reason and human happiness.

Whether you're president or speaker, if you're wrong, we need to stand up and point it out.

Because of the nature of King Arthur and the resonance he has, not only with within the U.K., but right around the world, I have found it a huge honour to play the part. I will look back on it very fondly and be very proud to have been King Arthur when I finally hang up the chain mail!

When I was 15 years old and in the tenth grade, I heard of Martin Luther King, Jr. Three years later, when I was 18, I met Dr. King and we became friends.

There's a bunch of Stephen King books I love. 'Salem's Lot' was always one of my favourites. 'It.' 'Needful Things.' Moving away from King, and 'Silence of the Lambs' is always a good choice.

Anne Boleyn isn't a sympathetic character, but I like that she isn't a people pleaser. She's ambitious and manipulative, but she's honest. I'm biased, but I don't think a woman who has said 'no' to the King of England for six years would jump into bed with four of his best friends. She was a slick political mind.

Fidelity and allegiance sworn to the King is only such a fidelity and obedience as is due to him by the law of the land; for were that faith and allegiance more than what the law requires, we would swear ourselves slaves and the King absolute; whereas, by the law, we are free men, notwithstanding those oaths.

The affairs of America I shall ever look upon as my first business whilst I am in Europe.

It's not like I'm the first man ever to do this, y'know?

I don't know about Elvis, 'bout doin' 'em good, y'know? It's nothin' new.

My goal has always been to amalgamate song and flashy guitar.

And I believe that you have to be dedicated to something in order to have a fulfilling life.

She gave the essence of civility to the struggle for equality in this country and kept alive the principles of fairness, equity and justice for which she, her husband, and their partners in struggle stood.
