80s Punk Sayings

#1. One of the fun things as an actor is to find a character that if you were to look up a rap sheet about them, you might say, 'I don't really necessarily want to hang out with this guy' or 'I would never be this kind of guy in my life.' I think it's part of an actor's job to say, 'Maybe you could be.'

Jason Ritter

#2. The first time I lay actual eyes on the real David Lynch on the set of his movie, he's peeing on a tree ... Mr. David Lynch, a prodigious coffee drinker, apparently pees hard and often.

David Foster Wallace

#3. I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.

Jessica Pare

#4. Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.

Robert Fulghum

#5. The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.

Alan Rickman

#6. For my group of friends is Lady Gaga eye-opening? No. She's a less dangerous version of what was so cool about pop culture in the '80s. Back then it was so gay and so punk in so many ways.

Beth Ditto

#7. I'm embarrassed to reveal that I never went to CBGB's in the '80s. I was never cool enough to be a punk, and I wouldn't have had the stamina, or the discipline, for straight-edge.

Stacey D'Erasmo

#8. The hour of happiness which comes unexpectedly is the happiest.

Horace

#9. People define themselves to some degree by the music that they listened to as teens. My mom had Elvis. Me, I had 'The Who' and later punk rock. Kids who came up in the '80s had other songs and bands. It's a way of placing ourselves culturally and temporally.

Jennifer Egan

#10. I really didn't know a lot of rock 'n' roll until I moved to L.A. Before that, when I was in New York, I grew up listening mostly to R&B and soul and jazz.

Lenny Kravitz

#11. 'Game of Thrones' couldn't be a movie. There's too much in it. You couldn't do it justice.

Richard Madden

#12. I never realized it was all a game,
until I started winning.

Eric Micha'el Leventhal

#13. I might be able to walk away from sexy, dangerous shifters, but chocolate had me at its beck and call.

Meghan Ciana Doidge

#14. I started making music with my band in the '80s, so I am more product of post punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.

Yann Tiersen

#15. I do love dance music. I love Daft Punk. I mean, I was a child in the '80s, so bands like the Eurythmics and just so many great '80s bands were dance bands, but they had the whole soul thing happening, too.

Corin Tucker

#16. We pray not to inform God or instruct Him but to beseech Him closely, to be made intimate with Him, by continuance in supplication; to be humbled; to be reminded of our sins.

Saint John Chrysostom

#17. My mum passing away wasn't funny, but that funeral and what I went through, the things that happened, looking back at it, there were funny moments. You have to be strong enough to look back at it, to sit and assess the situation.

Kevin Hart

#18. Daft Punk and I belong to the Generation 75. We were born in 1975, so we are somewhat in the middle of the rebellion and freedom of the 70s and the consumer culture of the 80s.

Pedro Winter

#19. I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven." Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.

Ann Voskamp

#20. No one can do inspired work without genuine interest in his subject and understanding of its characteristics.

Andreas Feininger

#21. I think I take my style from all walks of life, and all generations and decades of life as well. I love mixing '50s with '80s and classic with punk.

Kelly Osbourne

#22. Beyond gravity, some of that freedom was regained; with the loss of weight went many of the cares and worries of Earth. Heywood

Arthur C. Clarke

#23. There's no single movement out there. It's not like in the '60s, when Revolver came out and that's just it for the next year.

Sean Lennon
