While it is true that Frank had a great sense of humor, he was also very serious about composing music. In reality there are only a handful of skilled players who can play his most complex pieces. It takes a lot of patience to learn and requires a fantastic memory.
~By Dweezil Zappa ~
I thought, frankly, that it would be more pleasant to write a memoir than it was.
~By Jim Harrison ~
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
~By Barack Obama ~
If they have covered your face with latex, you have to control yourself mentally so you won't think. If you start thinking, you will succumb to panic. I had a bit of a cold, and frankly I didn't have a good time.
~By Meg Tilly ~

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.
~By Timothy Radcliffe ~

~By Jean Rostand ~
I only drank for three years of my life, but I drank enough in those three years to last me the rest of my life... It's a religious thing.
~By Marty Robbins ~

I'm not an education expert, and frankly I don't want to make education decisions for our state. But I am experienced at successfully managing organizations, and putting people on a path where they can succeed.
~By Linda Lingle ~
When we're in a peak, we make a ton of money, and as soon as we make a ton of money, we're desperately looking for a way to spend it. And we diversify into areas that, frankly, we don't know how to run very well.
~By Bill Ford ~
The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
~By W. H. Auden ~
The death tax is unfair, inefficient, economically unsound and, frankly, immoral.
~By Jon Kyl ~

~By Joshua Chamberlain ~
Frank liked me because I went nuts on the piano using feet, head, whatever I could find to bang on the piano.
~By George Duke ~

~By Lawrence Eagleburger ~
Especially when I first really started to work with Kenneth and Franklin, who had been in space already. And so, they were able to talk about space and tell me a few things about how things would really happen.
~By Philippe Perrin ~
I wanted to make the kind of records that I heard in the discos that I danced in at that time. Funky, electronic sounds, while the musicians in the band were more rock oriented. This I suppose created the sound we know as Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
~By Holly Johnson ~
In the '50s Morris Louis and I were not known, David Smith and Helen Frankenthaler were not much known.
~By Kenneth Noland ~
Now I've even gotten to running out to the fan buses that pass by our house, so I can talk to the people. I think I'm trying to gather fans, frankly. They're very, very nice people - they really understand. It's fun talking to them.

Israel ranks her priorities in the following way: security, land, and water.

As in the rankest soil the most beautiful flowers are grown, so in the dark soil of poverty the choicest flowers of humanity have developed and bloomed.
~By James Allen ~
And, quite frankly, I fully expected to be charged with murder, because they weren't charging anybody. I did it in terms of, I felt like I was throwing down the gauntlet saying look, this is what happened. There's a family out there that needed to know what happened.
~By Patty Hearst ~
I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

~By Carol Moseley Braun ~

~By Burl Ives ~
I want to keep audiences off balance, so they don't know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I'll have a longer shelf life.
~By Robert Carlyle ~
Frank Capra was a prop man, I think. John Ford was a prop man. It was a little bit of a father and son thing, and you kind of worked your way up.
~By Francis Ford Coppola ~

People like Frank Zappa were amazing for us Brits.

~By Benjamin Disraeli ~
Under the Geneva Convention, for example, a POW is required only to provide name, rank, and serial number and cannot receive any benefits for cooperating.

A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.

~By Jensen Ackles ~
I was supposed to be the antithesis of Frank.
~By Douglas Wilson ~

I joined Tommy Dorsey at the Paramount Theater in New York as a singer. I replaced Frank Sinatra.
~By Ken Curtis ~

~By Sam Elliott ~
Frankly, I thought we would have lost the House by now.
~By Ed Gillespie ~
Now, a lot of what we are doing right now, quite frankly, is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning, for example, the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).
~By Janet Napolitano ~
I can't frankly see much difference in the film industry at all. The only difference might be that they don't take as much time as they used to. For example, they'll do in one day what we used to take a week to do.

The Merchants of Carolina, are fair, frank Traders.
~By John Lawson ~
Among the best traitors Ireland has ever had, Mother Church ranks at the very top, a massive obstacle in the path to equality and freedom. She has been a force for conservatism... to ward off threats to her own security and influence.

~By Lawrence Hargrave ~
In Venezuela, with Chavez, is really an incredible revolution - a democratic revolution. To begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks who then controlled the media in Venezuela rebelled - worked, frankly, with folks here in the U.S. government - worked to oust him. But he came back with another revolution, and then Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country. And we've had complaints about this ever since.
