An invention has to make sense in the world it finishes in, not in the world it started. ~ Tim O'Reilly
Ukulele quotes by Tim O'Reilly
I play guitar, the ukulele and the piano. I grew up on a mountain in Tennessee, and we had 'The Mountain Opry,' where anyone could just get up on stage to perform. It was just about the soul and heart of music. My upbringing was less about being great and more about just doing what you love. It was always for joy. ~ Rachel Boston
Ukulele quotes by Rachel Boston

Ukulele quotes by Dane Cook
I was reading a magazine when I was a little kid, probably about twelve years old, and an ad said that if you sell so many jars of Noxzema skin cream, we'll sell you a ukulele. So I went out and banged on doors in the snow in Quincy, Massachusetts, where I was raised, and I sold the skin cream. ~ Dick Dale
Ukulele quotes by Dick Dale
The Bolsheviks started not just on the killing of private property; they were trying to abolish money itself. ~ Anatoly Chubais
Ukulele quotes by Anatoly Chubais
The guys in the saloons shoving free ones across the bar and saying happy new year and many more of them kid you been a good customer have one on the house happy new year and the hell with the prohibitionists some day the bastards are going to give us trouble. The girls from the hash houses and the girls from the hotels and the guys swarming out of dirty little apartment bedrooms and music and dancing and smoke and somebody with the ukulele and have another and the feeling of being lonesome that everybody has inside him and people bouncing against you and off you and have another one and a girl passing out at the bar and a fight and happy new year. ~ Dalton Trumbo
Ukulele quotes by Dalton Trumbo
I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar. ~ Zooey Deschanel
Ukulele quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I had simply been inspired by Arthur Godfrey (40's) and Ukulele Ike and Cliff Edwards (20's). In there day, they were huge in this country. I bought Godfrey's book "You Too Can Learn To Play Ukulele" and taught myself. It's a very romantic instrument. You can take it on a canoe. ~ Tiny Tim
Ukulele quotes by Tiny Tim
I spent my entire life working with the smallest budget I could get. Just working with old, junky, donated equipment. The only things I bought myself were the trumpet and the $9 ukulele. ~ Zach Condon
Ukulele quotes by Zach Condon

Ukulele quotes by Gene Wilder
I love the fact that people don't see the ukulele as a serious instrument. A lot of people see it as more of a toy, and I love that because it just proves that people aren't intimidated by the instrument. They aren't afraid to pick it up. ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Ukulele quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay. It was probably harder for a regular director. He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started. ~ Preston Sturges
Ukulele quotes by Preston Sturges
I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood. ~ Manuel Puig
Ukulele quotes by Manuel Puig
I was really young, but I can't say that I wrote much of anything. I liked to scribble; I thought of it as that. But I was playing guitar and ukulele when I was in second grade. ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter
Ukulele quotes by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Does Zeus have a perfect tan? Can he play the ukulele? I think not! ~ Rick Riordan

It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home. ~ William H. Macy
Ukulele quotes by William H. Macy
Rick shuffled through the cards again. "Where is the tallest mountain on earth?" Lydia put her hand over her eyes so she could concentrate. "You said tallest, not highest elevation, so it can't be Everest." She made some thinking noises that caused the dogs to stir. The cat started making biscuits on her stomach. She could hear the clock ticking in the kitchen. Finally, Rick said, "Think ukulele." She peeked through her fingers. "Hawaii?" "Mauna Kea. ~ Karin Slaughter
Ukulele quotes by Karin Slaughter
I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works. ~ Ralph Bakshi
Ukulele quotes by Ralph Bakshi
I grew up in a musical family; the majority of my growing up was done in Hawaii. It's what we do. You sing, you dance, you play ukulele and you drink. ~ Dwayne Johnson
Ukulele quotes by Dwayne Johnson
I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one. ~ Brigitte Bardot
Ukulele quotes by Brigitte Bardot
My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started ... I was fine. ~ John Bonham
Ukulele quotes by John Bonham
Most of my ukulele heroes were traditional players from Hawaii, like Eddie Kamae and Ohta-san. There may not be uke stars in popular culture, but there are certainly pop stars that play uke - George Harrison, Eddie Vedder, Taylor Swift, Train, and Paul McCartney. ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Ukulele quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
Things like guitars and ukuleles, you should never part with it, because there will probably be good, healthy times spent, just playing and writing. ~ Eddie Vedder
Ukulele quotes by Eddie Vedder
Perhaps Dexter's dutiful but uninspired brain pictured him as Sherlock Holmes, able to examine the wheel ruts and deduce that a left-handed hunchback with red hair and a limp had gone down the road carrying a Cuban cigar and a ukulele. I would find no clues, not that it mattered. ~ Jeff Lindsay
Ukulele quotes by Jeff Lindsay
Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand. ~ George Formby
Ukulele quotes by George Formby
I started out playing ukulele when I was 5 or 6 years old. ~ Edgar Winter
Ukulele quotes by Edgar Winter
I see a young man playing 'Plaisir d'Amour' on guitar. I knew I didn't want to go to college; I was already playing a ukulele, and after I saw that, I was hooked. All I wanted to do was play guitar and sing. ~ Joan Baez
Ukulele quotes by Joan Baez
How do I relax? This might sound slightly ridiculous but I play the ukulele for at least an hour a day and I find something really blissful about it. ~ Frank Skinner
Ukulele quotes by Frank Skinner
There's something about guitars, they're just so big, you know what I mean? You're just like, 'Ugh!' It just seems so overwhelming. And the ukulele is, like, the opposite of overwhelming. ~ Zooey Deschanel
Ukulele quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Let me be the first to admit that the naked truth about me is to the naked truth about Salvador Dali as an old ukulele in the attic is to a piano in a tree, and I mean a piano with breasts. Senor Dali has the jump on me from the beginning. He remembers and describes in detail what it was like in the womb. My own earliest memory is of accompanying my father to a polling booth in Columbus, Ohio, where he voted for William McKinley. ~ James Thurber
Ukulele quotes by James Thurber
The ukulele is the instrument of peace, ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Ukulele quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
I got Sonny up to Harlem, and we started street playin' in New York. We did that for three or four years and survived. We brought it back to the streets again. ~ Brownie McGhee
Ukulele quotes by Brownie McGhee
While I was in high school, I started working professionally and got an agent. ~ Charlene Tilton
Ukulele quotes by Charlene Tilton
There's not much you can do with a ukulele that doesn't sound happy. ~ Jeff Lynne
Ukulele quotes by Jeff Lynne
Elvis came along when I was 10. My father gave me a bass ukulele. I taught myself how to play from a book to play some chords, so I was laying down 'Hound Dog' and things like that when I was 10 years old in 1955. That's the way I was. My ear was glued to the radio. I knew right then what I wanted to do. ~ Bob Seger
Ukulele quotes by Bob Seger
If I could play the ukulele like Zooey Deschanel, I would find my own personal M. Ward, and we would do a side album; but I don't, you know? ~ Anna Kendrick
Ukulele quotes by Anna Kendrick
I mostly play old period songs, as they suit a ukulele more. I bought it when I saw the tribute concert to George Harrison. Joe Brown came on and sang 'I'll See You In My Dreams,' and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. ~ Charles Dance
Ukulele quotes by Charles Dance
I had a $1.50 from playing the ukulele after owning it seven minutes. I thought, "Hmmm, this has some possibilities." ~ Eddie Vedder
Ukulele quotes by Eddie Vedder
Love is an irrational force, making humans do all sorts of strange and wonderful things like write poetry and take up the ukulele. ~ Amy Dickinson
Ukulele quotes by Amy Dickinson
The ukulele was the first of many instruments they had bought for me. They got me a guitar when I was eleven, which my son Morgan uses until this day. They paid for 3 years of guitar lessons; they bought me a bass fiddle, which I still play. ~ Tony Visconti
Ukulele quotes by Tony Visconti
Sometimes when you're writing on a ukulele, you're in a totally new land, rhythmically or melodically. ~ Tift Merritt
Ukulele quotes by Tift Merritt
The very first thing I saw at this year's Telluride Film Festival was sheer bliss. "Lava," a musical romance from Pixar Animation, was one of the shorts that traditionally precede almost every festival screening; the director was James Ford Murphy. The story, spanning millions of years in 7 minutes, starts with a lonely Hawaiian volcano who, crooning to ukulele accompaniment, yearns for "someone to lava. ~ Anonymous
Ukulele quotes by Anonymous
Sometimes I can't think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes. I mean, I joke around and tell people that it's an entire yoga session in one strum, you know? ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Ukulele quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
I'm an American songbook guy, though I've got eclectic tastes. I really love the American songbook. I've taken up the ukulele, and so you can play 'Five Foot Two' and Hawaiian music, but you can also do some of the great tunes, like 'You Go to My Head,' 'I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry,' 'Taking a Chance on Love.' ~ Tony Danza
Ukulele quotes by Tony Danza
Because if everyone played the ukulele, this world would be a much happier place. ~ Jake Shimabukuro
Ukulele quotes by Jake Shimabukuro
Quit the bitching on your blog
And stop pretending art is hard.
Just limit yourself to three chords
And do not practice daily.
You'll minimize some stranger's sadness
With a piece of wood and plastic.
Holy fuck it's so fantastic,
Playing ukulele. ~ Amanda Palmer
