Norman Quotations

'Hollywood maids' are so idiotic. They grin at everything. I told Norman Lear I didn't want to play a maid because of that 'hee-hee/grin-grin' attitude, and he said, 'Who said I wanted that?' He told me he wanted two strong women that are the black and white of the same coin. I said, 'Oh, well - in that case, I'll be right there!'

It was very much like Norman Rockwell: small town America. We walked to school or rode our bikes, stopped at the penny candy store on the way home from school, skated on the pond.

When interviewing for a job, tell the editor how you love to report. How your passion is gathering information. Do not mention how you want to be a writer, use the word 'prose,' or that deep down you have a sinking suspicion you are the next Norman Mailer.

When I was in Utah there, first learning the kind of music I love, my favorite singer was T. Texas Tyler. So my friend, Norman Ritchie, the traveling teenage sage, started calling me U. Utah Phillips.

Nobody complains that Bernini's sculptures are too darn real, right? Or that Norman Rockwell's paintings are too creepy. Well, robots can seem real and be loved, too. We're trying to make a new art medium out of robotics.

I have never had feeling in my toes. My uncle, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, once told me in confidence he had the same syndrome, leading me to believe it is genetic.

It is my opinion that Norman Rockwell and his ilk have done more to make already anxious people feel guilty than anyone else.

I went to Norman High then I walked across the street after that and went to college. That's my home town, that's where I'm from. Physically I'm a Texan, but I'm an Oklahoman.

I built my church on Easter services, Christmas Eve services, and Norman Vincent Peale.

Family dinner in the Norman Rockwell mode had taken hold by the 1950s: Mom cooked, Dad carved, son cleared, daughter did the dishes.

How could you not love Norman Mailer? He was a total chauvinist, but also so vulnerable.

For much of America, the all-American values depicted in Norman Rockwell's classic illustrations are idealistic. For those of us from Vermont, they're realistic. That's what we do.

I'd love to spend more time on the Isle of Man. I love the anonymity of putting on a boiler suit and going down to buy parts for the compressor. And Norman Wisdom's a neighbour; I salute him occasionally.

When your child stops breathing 60 times a night, you don't worry about what's going on next year or even next week. You put aside thoughts about which preschool you're going to enroll him in and focus on how he's doing right now. It's not the Norman Rockwell relationship that you sign on for when becoming a parent.

I was lucky enough to be a child during the renaissance of Australian children's literature, when people like Ivan Southall, Colin Thiele, Lilith Norman and Wrightson were pumping out hugely inspiring stuff.

But Gene Norman has an album out of me.

I fell in love with Alan Ayckbourn the day I met him and, starting with 'The Norman Conquests,' went on to do eight plays with him. He tells you just what you want to know and has a brilliant way of solving problems.

I had a trial run with Norman Ross for 21 years, from '61 to '82. I didn't have it in mind to open a chain like Harvey Norman. I opened one shop, but then the next thing you know, I've got another shop and then another shop.

He could handle longtime stars like Joan Blondell and Edward G. Robinson, and he also could handle Steve McQueen. Norman stepped in at the last moment (Sam Peckinpah had been fired after a week's filming), and that's not an easy thing to do.

We've been to seven bowls in eight years, and when we missed out, we decided in January that wasn't going to happen again. We knew we had a tough schedule. We knew we had to play at Norman and had some tough games on the road in the Mountain West Conference. We just continued to improve as the season progressed.

My parents are both English. My dad is a plastic surgeon - his name's Norman Waterhouse, but we call him Normy. And my mom's a nurse, which is how they met - in a hospital, over decaying bone.

I will say this: the first film that I was on was 'In the Heat of the Night', that Norman Jewison directed with Sidney Poitier. I'm on the set, and I'm totally taking it for granted. Everyone is working for everyone else and pulling for the very best, and it makes everyone better because you feel that effort and concern and appreciation.

Pablo Picasso, Frank Sinatra, Ernest Hemingway, Mel Gibson, Lou Reed, Norman Mailer, Vanessa Redgrave, Van Morrison - each is distinguished by controversies unrelated to his or her art; by many accounts, some of them are not nice people at all.

I think the players will put pressure on themselves to win because they are aware of Norman North's past. As coaches, we tell them to just go out and work hard every down, play to win and have a good attitude. If we do that, we'll win football games.

It certainly doesn't feel like we've been in the business 25 years. When we began building homes we were working on our master's degrees in architecture. Between 1981 and 1983, four of our children were born at Norman Regional Hospital. They're all now students at OU.

That would make sense. Norman is obviously the national party's choice.

We weren't coming down here to eat a box lunch, get on the bus and go home. We came to Norman to win the football game ... and our guys played their heart out.

Whether or not Clarence Norman has formally endorsed Sampson, he's certainly been telling people to vote for him, so it shouldn't be surprising that he's handing out flyers for him, if that's what happening,

Very excited to be in the championship game. Lake Norman gave us all we could handle.

At the beginning of my career, as a boy from Peru in London, suddenly discovering British culture and society, I looked so much at the work of the photographers Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson, which seemed to represent a wonderful vanished grandeur of my new country.

What Norman Bates calls for is for an actor to be able to go into their insanity, ... Vince is one of the few people I think who's willing to go into that duplicity in himself, and that insanity, and say, 'You know what? Now I'll show it to you.' I think that we're going to love his Norman Bates, because he's showing you himself in ways that nobody else would have the courage to do. It's an amazing performance.

As I sat down, Norman started making birdies. I got nervous, so I got up and started walking around. They didn't make as many birdies when I walked around, so I walked around the rest of the time.

Beating Lake Norman was huge last year. Their aura of invincibility vanished.

The Supreme Court needs to be five to four in favor of God, not in favor of Norman Lear, NOW, NARAL and other Anti-God, Anti Marriage things, or this nation will get God real mad!

Norman deserved that award; he's a damn good director, ... The Cincinnati Kid.

Norman Foster understands how to design a bold urban icon while simultaneously enhancing the environment and quality of life of the building's occupants.

Norman is the guy we've been waiting to sign. He comes from a quality program; Coach Emmanuel Davis does a great job in Headland.

Norman played very well. Taylor proved that he's a good quarterback. I also take my hat off to them defensively.

The PGA of America is proud that the Greg Norman Collection continues to be a strong partner in Golf Retirement Plus. PGA Professionals recognize the quality and service of the Greg Norman Collection, a company that has made a commitment to provide the best for our member Professionals.

Why is Greg Norman not doing something to help the Australian circuit,

I've always been a fan of books that create an interesting blend of fact and fiction - whether it's Norman Mailer, or 'The Short Timers,' or 'In Cold Blood.' I'm a fan of that genre.

The whole book experience was a look into another world, the world of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.

A forest - the word dates back to the Norman occupancy, when it meant an area set aside for England's violent new masters to hunt boar and deer - is necessarily larger than a wood. It belonged to the king and was a fit place for his recreation.

I lift my hat to Norman Manley, they were just better than us. And besides, they have a lot of experienced players who are coming from Under-15, so I'm not feeling bad losing to a team like Manley.

I'm very happy to be back in touch with a part of myself. It's surreal. For 35 years, I never thought I'd be reunited with the music I wrote during the Creedence Clearwater Revival years. After meeting with Norman Lear, Hal Gaba, and Glen Barros (President of Concord), I'm happy to say that the new Fantasy is very enthusiastic about my body of work. All the people there have been delightful. They are honoring my songs that hold an important place in the history of American music. And, they are honoring me.

In 1989, Norman Jaffe created a warm, inviting space for prayer, filled with natural wood, with a view of trees,

I liked Norman Lear's ideology that you could trust an audience to stay with you.

If you look at the current issue, they have an article by Norman Mailer and Jimmy Breslin. I'm not sure my children, who are in their 20's, would have the faintest idea of who any of those people are.

Once during a taping there was an actor who kept blowing his lines. It happened again and again. Finally Norman Fell came out-he wasn't even in that scene. But Norman came out and you know what he did? He killed the guy with a hammer.

About a year ago we heard the same rumor again, so Julie and I met with Norman and Hal, and other people at Concord, just to get acquainted. At our first meeting, they expressed great respect and appreciation. When they finally acquired Fantasy, we figured the time was right to see if we could work together.

Shawn Norman got back up and charged the officer again,

It takes you through the Viking and the Norman invasions, the British occupation, the great famine in 1840 and the rising (for independence) of 1916.

In Psycho IV, the time is five years after III, and Norman is out of the hospital. He's a married man, and he's finally learned how to love somebody and have natural sex without killing his lover.

Clarence Norman is not involved in my campaign, ... the assemblyman is a private citizen. He can choose to do what he wants.

I just saw Norman Fell a little while ag. I loved doing Three's Company. The first season was tough since they didn't write so well for me.

As far as getting my start, it was really Norman Lear, even aside from being on 'All in the Family.' He helped me get my start as a director. He was the one who said, 'Let him do 'Spinal Tap.' Let him give it a try,' because I had been trying for years to get that thing off the ground.

It's just a thrill to play here, ... As an Australian, this is the biggest event to watch for us and the hardest to get into. You dream of playing this event I guess, because no Australian has ever won it. Greg Norman obviously had so many close calls here. Plus, we get to watch it early in the morning in Australia before we go to work. That might have something to do with it. Plus, you get a green jacket if you win and Australia's colors are green and gold.

What is wonderful is that Norman remains an optimist. He believes if we all do our part, a just society will happen.

It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.

ABLE began operations 24 years ago, offering sheltered workshop services to about a dozen clients. Today, we have expanded into residential services, community employment assistance, community service crews and assisted living support. ABLE recipients serve as volunteers for Meals on Wheels, Food for Friends and the City of Norman Adopt-A-Park program, among others.

I brought samples in, because I didn't have any comic book samples, and I brought all these illustrations that I had influenced by Norman Rockwell and a couple of the other big boys. That's all I had, that's all I brought.

I am very much looking forward to it. I am very familiar with this type of format from playing in Ryder Cup competition before. I have played this competition with Arnold before when we played in the Shark Shootout. When Greg Norman had his first couple of Franklin Templeton Shark Shootouts we had a straight, pure, alternate-shot format in one of the rounds, so I understand it and there is strategy. But it also offers opportunities for you to be the hero. At any one time, your partner might not hit a great shot or he could hit a great shot you can make the hero putt or make the hero recovery.

America owed its military renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s to Vietnam. Veterans like Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Grey, Charles Krulak, and Wesley Clark returned home angry and ashamed at their defeat and rebuilt all-volunteer, professional armed forces from the ground up.

No doubt President Jefferson was brilliant - probably the key author of the American constitution. But the PNP and Jamaica have our own Thomas Jefferson ... former leader and Premier Norman Washington Manley. Indeed Norman Washington Manley was better - note the word
