In Europe they look upon jazz as art. In America it's a diversion. Somebody opens a restaurant and installs another band off to the side. People don't listen. ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
What a guy, what a fool am I, to think my breaking heart could kid the moon ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
I never got lessons. I took influence from Chet Baker, Ian Dury, and Joe Strummer. I don't hear my voice and think, 'Yeah, that's a banging voice!' It's more about putting the right emotions into the right words and the lyrics than anything else to me. ~ King Krule
Chet Baker quotes by King Krule
It takes a pretty good drummer to be better than no drummer at all. ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
I like to play in the deep register. I was never a high-note specialist. My range goes from the bottom of the horn up to around C or D. High D is about it for me ... about two-and-a-half octaves, I think. But in these two-and-a-half octaves, I can say everything I have to say. ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
You don't know what love is, until you've learned the meaning of the blues, until you've loved a love you've had to lose. ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
My job - and it's really true - is that it's constantly evolving and changing. When I was doing the Chet Baker movie I was obsessed with playing the trumpet, and to my absolute shock I haven't picked the trumpet up since we wrapped. It was so much work. I thought I was going to keep playing the rest of my life, 'cause it was fun, it's just a lot of work. And it's a really unique job that exposes you to a lot. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet Baker quotes by Ethan Hawke
Have this Chet Baker movie coming out and in that situation, I went down the rabbit hole studying Chet Baker and being obsessed with the period and the music and the relationships and the dynamic, and everything, drug addiction. There was so much I wanted to get at to kind of get at the truth. With Regression, I was certainly in Alejandro's [Amenabar] hands. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet Baker quotes by Ethan Hawke
Well if I could play like Wynton, I wouldn't play like Wynton. ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
Adele's voice is incredible. Chet Baker also has one of my favorite voices of all time, and so does Joni Mitchell. And Frank Black. Oh, and Stevie Nicks. ~ Megan Boone
Chet Baker quotes by Megan Boone
When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It's who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that. ~ Eric Cantona
Chet Baker quotes by Eric Cantona
Years ago I was going to play Chet Baker in another movie and I really felt drawn to that character and the script is good and I met with Robert and we seemed simpatico and we developed. But I had a real passion for that role and that brought me deep into that film 'cause I got the sense that Robert [Budreau] was going to really let me be creative inside this part. ~ Ethan Hawke
Chet Baker quotes by Ethan Hawke
Chet Faker's a reference to the late Chet Baker. I'm a big fan of his vocal style; it's quite fragile and soft, and that was a style I wanted to take on. ~ Chet Faker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Faker
I'm definitely a romantic, I don't think life is really worth all the pain and effort and struggling if you don't have somebody that you love very much ~ Chet Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Baker
On the second to last day, Lt. Russo, who ran the program, announced, "Unless you were at dinner last night and had the opportunity to say 'Howard, pass the salt,' you are going to Brooklyn North and Manhattan North. That's where they need people, and that's where you're going." "Howard" referred to to the Commissioner Safir, and when they read the list of assignments the next afternoon
"Alvarez ... Brooklyn North ... "
"Baker ... Brooklyn North ... "
"Buono ... Manhattan North ... "
"Calderon ... Brooklyn North ... "
"Conlon ... South Bronx Initiative ... "
more than a few people turned around to look. Howard, pass the salt. I was a little surprised myself. ~ Edward Conlon
Chet Baker quotes by Edward Conlon
Fisher outlines the different hormones and personalities for me. Those with lots of dopamine, she says, are likely to be "Explorers," optimistic risk takers. Serotonin breeds "Builders," who tend to be calm and organized and work well in groups. Those brimming with testosterone she calls "Directors." Two thirds of them are men. They're analytical, logical, and often musical. (They sound suspiciously like Numerati to me.) In the fourth group, their brains coursing with estrogen, are the negotiators. They're verbal and intuitive, and have good people skills. You'd think they'd be built for relationships. But sometimes, Fisher says, "they're so pliable that they turn into placaters. You don't know who they are. ~ Stephen Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Stephen Baker
Angels are pure thoughts from God, winged with Truth and Love. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Chet Baker quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
The central question is simply put: What did the president know and when did he know it? ~ Howard Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Howard Baker
I wanted to apprentice myself to the dailiness of the war's beginning phase. It's truer and more frightening that way - when you're afloat on a little dingy in the midst of it all. ~ Nicholson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Nicholson Baker
It is an effort to descend down the hand-holds of memory to the plain beneath, to recall the lost future, the dusk hovering above the sunken cities, the dim western world of fallen light and broken skies. My life is here, where soon the larks will sing again, and there is a hawk above. One wishes only to go forward, deeper into the summer land, journeying from lark-song to lark-song, passing through the dark realm of the owls, the fox-holdings, the badger-shires, out into the brilliant winter dominion, the sea-bleak world of the hawks. ~ J.A. Baker
Chet Baker quotes by J.A. Baker
WorldGate offers interactive set-top-box applications. Its customers want to interact with the Web as an adjunct to other things they can do, and WorldGate allows that through the layout engine in Mozilla, called Gecko. ~ Mitchell Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Mitchell Baker
Make sure you don't lose your heart living with Robert Morgan. Make sure he doesn't use up all the very best parts of you. ~ Tiffany Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Tiffany Baker
Somehow the silence seemed to connect us in a way like words never could. ~ Wendelin Van Draanen
Chet Baker quotes by Wendelin Van Draanen
In 1855, as the price of paper rose, Dr. Deck proposed to dig up 2 1/2 million tons of Egyptian mummies, ship them to New York, unroll them; and use their linen wrappings to make paper. ~ Nicholson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Nicholson Baker
And I'll flip through the newest issue, walking back from my blue mailbox, hunting for the poem he chose over mine, and it'll be the same thing as always. The prose will have pulled back, and the poem will be there, cavorting, saying, I'm a poem, I'm a poem. No, you're not! You're an impostor, you're a toy train of pretend stanzas of chopped garbage. Just like my poem was. ~ Nicholson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Nicholson Baker
If you going to steal a book thought, you should at least take the nicest one, otherwise what's the point? ~ Christina Baker Kline
Chet Baker quotes by Christina Baker Kline
I, Gavin MacKenzie, sexy
cowboy man of Baker City, Oregon …
being of sound mind and hot body … do
hereby declare that I love you, Andie
Marks, lawyer extraordinaire, and want
to be married to you until I'm so old, I
either die or my pecker falls off.I will have sex
with you whenever you want, and I will
always give you the option to be on top
if that's what will make you happy.
Blowjobs will always be optional but
appreciated.I will change diapers when called
for, both for our children and for you
when you're old and decrepit. I will
never spit in public or burp too loudly or
say mean things about your friends.I promise never to raise my hand
against you in anger or tell you that
you're useless or threaten to hurt people
who you love. Ten-four, over and out,
happily ever after. Those are my vows. ~ Elle Casey
Chet Baker quotes by Elle Casey
Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood. ~ Josephine Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Josephine Baker
Had it not been for James Meredith, who was willing to risk his life, the University of Mississippi would still be all white. ~ Constance Baker Motley
Chet Baker quotes by Constance Baker Motley
It never occurred to me that I'd be typecast, although I was. And I never thought of the role as a commercial product, because I was ... well, I was playing this slightly messianic alien. He isn't violent, he doesn't get his leg over the girl, he doesn't steal, and he's rather wry, and adorable, and mysterious. He's lived for 900 years or something. He lives the life of the old patriarchs of the Old Testament. That's not commercial. He's special. ~ Tom Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Tom Baker
Sarah, in the crush, was able to study Miss Lucas's face discreetly, she wondered what it was like to know that you were to be married, that you would have a home, an income, that you were set up for life. To have achieved all this simply by agreeing to put up with one particular man until he died. ~ Jo Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Jo Baker
He put an arm around me and helped me across the lawn into the passenger's seat. The inside was red and white as a strawberry sundae, with black analog gauges. It was inefficient and sprawling; it screamed of hubris and excess and obsolescence; it was America on wheels. ~ Mishell Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Mishell Baker
Today I have grown taller from walking with the trees. ~ Karle Wilson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Karle Wilson Baker
I have an addictive personality. I was addicted to computer games ... and then all that obsessive nature just piled into music. ~ Chet Faker
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Faker
Sorry. I know we shouldn't be doing this. I know we were supposed to be friends for a while first, but God, I've missed you so much. I think about you all the time. ~ Lauren Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Lauren Baker
Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Chet Baker quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
Writing a novel that crosses genres is a risk, but one well worth taking. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Williamson
The rebel in me never really had died. She just needed some time off and a reason to come back to work. ~ Abigail Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Abigail Baker
doing what makes you happy is not selfish, it's necessary. ~ Zane Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Zane Baker
My mom was a great cook and great baker all her life. ~ Mandy Patinkin
Chet Baker quotes by Mandy Patinkin
I like shelves full of books in a library, but if all books become electronic, the task of big research libraries remains the same - keep what's published in the form in which it appeared. ~ Nicholson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Nicholson Baker
I don't believe in "average people" doing anything [about the climate]. People outght to support mitigation and adaptation within their own line of work, no matter how un-average that is. I mean: if you're a butcher, baker, ballerina, banker, or a plumber, envision yourself as the post-fossil-fuel version of yourself, and get right after it ~ Bruce Bruce
Chet Baker quotes by Bruce Bruce
Before you leave," his aunt said, "answer one question for me. If Lady Celia weren't the daughter of marquess-if she were some young woman you'd met at an assembly, the daughter of a baker or a tailor-would you hesitate to marry her?"
"No," he said, not even having to consider his answer. "If I could have her, I'd want for nothing else."
She seized his hand and squeezed it. "Then do whatever you must to secure her. Because if you don't make the attempt, you'll regret it the rest of your life. ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Chet Baker quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester. ~ John Thaw
Chet Baker quotes by John Thaw
Gossip? Me? How would I know about such things?" "Don't think of it as gossip. Think of it as rumor and innuendo. ~ Chet Williamson
Chet Baker quotes by Chet Williamson
Approach him across open ground with a steady unfaltering movement. Let your shape grow in size but do not alter its outline. Never hide yourself unless concealment is complete. Be alone. Shun the furtive oddity of man, cringe from the hostile eyes of farms. Learn to fear. To share fear is the greatest bond of all. The hunter must become the thing he hunts. ~ J.A. Baker
Chet Baker quotes by J.A. Baker
The most surprising thing, honestly, is that so few Americans know about the orphan trains. I was also surprised at the resilience and fortitude of the riders I met, their pragmatism and grace. I don't know whether this is a Midwestern trait or simply a human one. ~ Christina Baker Kline
Chet Baker quotes by Christina Baker Kline
People think the painting is a portrait, but it isn't. Not really. He wasn't even in the field; he conjured it from a room in the house, an entirely different angle. He removed rocks and trees and outbuildings. The scale of the barn is wrong. And I am not that frail young thing, but a middle-aged spinster. It's not my body, really, and maybe not even my head. He ~ Christina Baker Kline
Chet Baker quotes by Christina Baker Kline
Will you dance for me? Let your breasts roam for a moment
I need to see how they dance.'
'Okay.' She danced, and as she danced, she tried to think of the most delicious salads she could imagine
with artichokes and sundried tomato and blue cheese dressing, and beets, lots of beets. ~ Nicholson Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Nicholson Baker
To infinite, ever present Love, all is Love, and there is no error, no sin sickness, nor death. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Chet Baker quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
Everyone gets tested. You never see it coming. But sooner or later the moment arrives and you have to account for yourself. ~ Adam Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Adam Baker
When I was seventeen I went to college to escape my father's impotent rage and my mother's infinite capacity for forgiveness. ~ Christina Baker Kline
Chet Baker quotes by Christina Baker Kline
When Rioch came to Millwall we were depressed and miserable. He's done a brilliant job of turning it all around. Now we're miserable and depressed. ~ Danny Baker
Chet Baker quotes by Danny Baker
I'm in love, sweet love. Feel me calling out your name, I feel no shame. ~ Anita Baker
