Well, obviously I wanted it to sound as original as possible. I suppose the influences that we had were probably from the actual power point of view we wanted to be like the Who. Vocally we wanted to be like the Beach Boys, whatever was good at the time.
~By Roy Wood ~
The music of language became extremely important to me, and obvious to me. By the time I was seven I was writing myself. I was a poet.
~By June Jordan ~

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
~By Jimmy Page ~

~By Kenneth Koch ~
Obviously after such a long gap, one itches to get back to the game and score big runs.
~By Sachin Tendulkar ~
I certainly know that this relationship could not have continued the way it did, when I was at the Pentagon and the president was obviously at the White House, without Betty.
~By Monica Lewinsky ~
Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we're having a good time.
~By Joan Jett ~
A man of such obvious and exemplary charm must be a liar.
~By Anita Brookner ~
Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.
~By Roger Andrew Taylor ~
I started when I was 8 years old, which is obviously nowadays pretty late, but I guess in my generation it was all right. I had plenty of other interests and I didn't do only tennis.
~By Jana Novotna ~
I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.
~By Lisa Marie Presley ~
If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.
~By Stefan Edberg ~
It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.
~By Tabitha Soren ~

~By Bobby Scott ~
Clean living is the cardinal principle in the lives of the world's greatest athletes, as the phenomenal performances of these outstanding characters will obviously show.
~By Major Taylor ~
You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.
~By Harvey Fierstein ~
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
~By Jean Anouilh ~
Obviously I'm not 21 anymore, but I think I can still throw with anybody.
~By Dan Marino ~

~By Luc Montagnier ~
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
~By George Bernard Shaw ~
Most people don't know who Ken Mehlman is. He's the chairman of the Republican Party, obviously, but what he's doing that Howard Dean isn't doing is spending a lot of time on the nuts and bolts of putting the party together.
~By Susan Estrich ~
The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.
~By Bjorn Lomborg ~
We all enjoyed the success of Rumours obviously.
~By Christine McVie ~

~By Fred Thompson ~
The Opera is obviously the first draft of a fine spectacle; it suggests the idea of one.
~By Jean de la Bruyere ~
And, I think, as a kid, I had a strong motivation to do something of my life. And, I think that's the strongest motivation I really got. And, that came obviously from my parents and my grandparents.
~By Philippe Perrin ~
Drugs are merely the most obvious form of addiction in our society. Drug addiction is one of the things that undermines traditional values.
~By Christopher Lasch ~
The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.
~By Edward R. Murrow ~
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise.
~By Ruth Bader Ginsburg ~
You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.

To spell out the obvious is often to call it in question.
~By Eric Hoffer ~
What can I do, I asked myself, that is so spectacular that no one will be able to say he had seen it before? The answer was perfectly obvious. I would send a midget up to bat.
~By Bill Veeck ~
It came to me then in a flash that obviously the temperature of the water was responsible for the nystagmus.
~By Robert Barany ~

Obviously, you've never seen a woman skydiving in a hoop skirt.
~By Chris A. Bridges ~
If we think about the obvious long enough, it dissolves.
~By Mason Cooley ~
We obviously need more love in the world. And we obviously need more compassion and understanding. Our leaders need to really address these issues properly now.
~By Dave Davies ~

~By Annie Leibovitz ~
I am providing a service that many people obviously value.
~By Matthew Lesko ~
I see no reason for recording the obvious.
~By Edward Weston ~
Obviously I was challenged by becoming a Naval aviator, by landing aboard aircraft carriers and so on.
~By Alan Shepard ~
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
~By Ansel Adams ~
That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way.
~By Bode Miller ~
I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on... It's perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.
~By Poul Anderson ~
I was always drawn to Broadway musicals, and obviously composers like Gershwin, Rodgers, Berlin and Porter were writing music that I found wildly impressive.
~By Marvin Hamlisch ~

~By Ahmed Ben Bella ~
My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.
~By Jimmy Carter ~
Previously people were treated anonymously particular on a drugs situation which is obviously highly emotive. They have been treated anonymously even after the verdict had been reached.
~By David Gill ~
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
~By Albert Einstein ~
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
~By Chuck Klosterman ~
I obviously have a lot of love and affection for the people of Hamilton from playing there for so long.
~By Darren Flutie ~
The thing I thought about doing it was it's Comic Relief and you've got to be funny. So although I did try to sing properly it obviously has hilarious results when you can't sing.
~By Jo Brand ~
I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.
~By George W. Bush ~
Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights, will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.
~By Gerry Adams ~
I love comic book movies, and Marvel Comics obviously are the best.
~By Maria Menounos ~
It's obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.

~By Johnny Vegas ~
When certain branches of the economy become obsolete, as in the case of the steel industry, not only do jobs disappear, which is obviously a terrible social hardship, but certain cultures also disappear.
~By Peter L. Berger ~
I would be terribly disappointed if anything would get in the way of my being cast in something, or if performances were canceled. It was a fix that I obviously needed.
~By Trevor Nunn ~
I always thought that the badge a cop has was more like the shield that Captain America has. It's an obvious sign of good and something you'll protect other people with, but it will also protect you.
~By Judd Nelson ~
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
~By Arthur Conan Doyle ~
When we violate the law ourselves, whatever short-term advantage may be gained, we are obviously encouraging others to violate the law; we thus encourage disorder and instability and thereby do incalculable damage to our own long-term interests.
~By J. William Fulbright ~
From the point of the view of the nation's power, it was obvious that while we were fighting the Sino-Japanese war, every effort was to be made to avoid adding to our enemies and opening additional fronts.
~By Hideki Tojo ~
Ummm... well, the only thing I want to do is stuff with people who care about what they're doing, which sounds obvious, but it's really not.
~By Joseph Gordon-Levitt ~
When Peter Gabriel left, we obviously lost a very strong stage performer. Phil hasn't replaced him; Phil's done a different thing.
~By Mike Rutherford ~
When somebody says that all statements are false, the obvious problem is that as an assertion it's self-defeating.
~By Henry Flynt ~
At a time when we have much work to do to address our Nation's critical infrastructure, and, as I said, which is currently in dire need of upgrade and repair, this legislation is also a jobs bill and is obviously a jobs creator.
~By Howard Coble ~
Most of the research which is done is determined by the requirement that it shall, in a fairly obvious and predictable way, reinforce the approved or fashionable theories.
~By Celia Green ~
Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.
~By Jonny Lang ~
They tend to be pretty abstract ones then, like doing what will have the best consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences.
~By Peter Singer ~
One layer was certainly 17th century. The 18th century in him is obvious. There was the 19th century, and a large slice, of course, of the 20th century; and another, curious layer which may possibly have been the 21st.
~By Clement Attlee ~
Theologians have a great problem because they're seeking to speak about God. Since God is the ground of everything that is, there's a sense in which every human inquiry is grist to the theological mill. Obviously, no theologian can know everything.
~By John Polkinghorne ~
So something about that touched me, obviously, when I was young and it just stayed with me. I'm always amazed by that, because my experience seems to be so much different than what I'm told, so much of the time.
~By Andrew McCarthy ~
A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known.
~By Bertrand Russell ~
It was obviously a pretty hectic development schedule and we put a huge team on to it but it paid off because we continuously get complemented on the finished product.
~By Andrew Oliver ~
I don't think men like a bad girl. Well, I haven't had a date in a year so I'm obviously doing something wrong. It's not that my standards are too high, I haven't even been asked out in a year. I have no standards, anyone, please!
~By Yasmine Bleeth ~
Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this.
~By Pete Domenici ~
When you have a Senate that is 50 Democrats and 49 Republicans and one independent, it's quite obvious that the only way we are going to get something done is if we work together.
~By John Breaux ~
We obviously want to produce things that people want. We are going to continue to do that in an environmentally responsible way, while still being aware of the physical, scientific, and practical issues that we have to deal with.
~By Lee R. Raymond ~
You're only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it'll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves.
~By Donald Judd ~
Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.
~By Jason Bateman ~
The goal, I submit, is obvious: subjugating the world (which is barbarian, dangerous, envious and ungrateful) to US power for the sake of America's interests.
~By Breyten Breytenbach ~
I don't go to clubs and stuff like that, so I don't have to put up with it in there. And normally, because obviously I could hurt somebody, and if I look at it that way, I have to back off.
~By Bubba Smith ~
You always love playing in finals at any tournament. The grand slams and stuff like that are obviously the priorities but any titles go on your record.
~By Lleyton Hewitt ~

~By Jim Allchin ~
It's my mother's engagement ring so I thought it was quite nice because obviously she's not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all - this was my way of keeping her close to it all.
~By Prince William ~
I didn't mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.
~By Alan Shepard ~
Ernest Hemingway did a great deal toward making the writer an acceptable public figure; obviously, he was no sissy.
~By Irwin Shaw ~
Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we've gone in the right direction.
~By Nick Rhodes ~
Just like Tim Robbins is very political - and obviously, Arnold Schwarzenegger must be - I want to be able to have this public personality that's considered authoritative.
~By Christy Romano ~
I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are.
~By Jim Jarmusch ~
Just because something has tubes doesn't mean it's the best. I mean, tubes are obviously good, but the circuit of this thing is designed well and it sounds good.
~By Dweezil Zappa ~
I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.
~By Warren Zevon ~
I never expected this to catch on in the way it did! Of course similar observations have been made by any number of people, and the distinction is obvious to anyone who thinks about the subject a little.
~By David Chalmers ~
The events with Henry III happened, obviously the way it happened, liberties were taken.
~By Catherine McCormack ~
I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.
~By Vivian Campbell ~
Our nation's immigration policy has been of top concern in recent years, and for good reason. With between eight and twelve million illegal aliens in the United States, it is obviously a problem out of control.
~By Chris Cannon ~
Obviously, it gave me a chance to see Barcelona. I won't deny that. But I also had a chance to see something in another country in terms of recycling and reusing nuclear material.
~By Ed Pastor ~
Sides are being divided now. It's very obvious. So if you're on the other side of the fence, you're suddenly anti-American. It's breeding fear of being on the wrong side.
~By Sam Shepard ~
