              ЦИТАТЫ СО СЛОВОМ «TOLD»

              Известные цитаты и высказывания со словом told.

              I remember saying to the chairman after serving the first year, ‘Why are we doing this? Why don’t the Hawaiians have control?’ ‘Well, we have no mechanism to do it,’ I was told.

              ‘Queen of Hearts’ is one I’m really proud of because I worked so hard on it, and then I was told it wasn’t good enough to be included on an Allman Brothers album. That directly led me to go into the studio and cut ‘Laid Back,’ my first solo release. So ‘Queen of Hearts’ is special to me.

              I was focused on building things from an early age. When I was about 3, our toilet broke, and my mother was ready to call the plumber. I told her I would fix it and asked her to get my Richard Scarry book ‘How Things Work in Busytown.’ Between the picture of a toilet and the text she read to me explaining how the parts worked, I fixed it.

              I am constantly being told that I have been a big influence for many people, including other musicians.

              A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear; kisses are the messengers of love and tenderness.

              People love to be told stories, but it’s the sugar that draws you into the theater.

              I told them, you can succeed — it’s not likely the first time, maybe 25 per cent, but you CAN succeed. You can also die. By April 16 they had already been to camp III, well ahead of most teams.

              I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder.

              I tried to get a job as a TV cameraman and they basically told me, ‘You’re mad, everyone wants these jobs — and if you go to England, you’re doubly mad.’ But I worked in abattoirs for 10 months to earn my money, then left for London. I didn’t even know what a director did.

              Having a support system is huge for writers. My parents were always encouraging and told me they were behind me, whether or not I made it in the business. My wife was always there for my successes and failures.
