Jam Quotations
The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday - but never jam today.
Lewis Carroll
That's why I hate to get started in these jam sessions. I'm always the last one to leave.
Elvis Presley
It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jam! I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it.
Kate Moss
I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies.
Dane Cook
We're charging what we're worth and we don't think we're worth $22.50. We take a lower cut than Pearl Jam.
Tre Cool
The Law of Raspberry Jam: the wider any culture is spread, the thinner it gets.
Alvin Toffler
Now I am within thirty yards of him. He must fall. The gun pours out its stream of lead. Then it jams. Then it reopens fire. That jam almost saved his life.
Manfred von Richthofen
It's a very complex scenario, and certainly Dave was, and is, not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn't find a balance, a mutual respect for each other.
Stone Gossard
We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.
Stone Gossard
There's probably a bunch of Power Stripe floating through the Def Jam offices right now.
Method Man
I have inherited two of the most important brands in hip-hop, Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella. Reid and Universal Music Group have given me the opportunity to manage the companies I have contributed to my whole career. I feel this is a giant step for me and the entire artist community.
Jay-Z
I can think of no one more relevant and credible in the hip-hop community to build upon Def Jam's fantastic legacy and move the company into its next groundbreaking era.
Jay-Z
That's why it's called Sebastian Bach. I mean, it's a permanent band, pretty much, but if I jam with other people, it just makes a better album, I think.
Sebastian Bach
With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it's hard to get up the courage to say, Can I sing this part, or, I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that.
Jeff Ament
Everybody got away from what Pearl Jam are supposed to be.
Jeff Ament
Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.
Van Morrison
Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.
Anna Friel
I challenge you, to go to any school and open 50 lunchboxes, and I guarantee you there will be one or two cans of Red Bull, there'll be cold McDonald's and jam sandwiches with several cakes.
Jamie Oliver
Music has always been my protection against the world, from a very young age. I feel safe inside of a jam.
Trey Anastasio
Our last jam session was this past Christmas. Dad played his harmonica, mom sang in English and Italian, and I played guitar. I'm so happy that we could share that musical experience for one last time.
Tony Visconti
But I got a guy on third, I was in a jam the other day in a game, all those situations, when you need a strikeout there, in big spots. But we are very aware of that fact, that these guys put the ball in play.
Roger Clemens
With Dollars And Cents on the album, we had it as a band jam and I sometimes spend evenings playing with records over the top of things we were working on to see what works.
Colin Greenwood
I like to be sort of grounded with Fish. But, at the same time, I think probably what's unique about us is the way other dynamics happen, where I'll play off Trey for awhile. When we start playing a jam, I don't usually know what's going to happen, I don't have a plan.
Mike Gordon
Well, here's what I think. I mean, the people are saying, 'We don't want it,' and the Democrats are saying, 'We don't care. We're going to pass it anyway.' And so for the next three months, Washington will be consumed with the Democrats trying to jam this through in a very messy procedure an unpopular health care bill.
Lamar Alexander
Well, we have theatrical parties. It's not me singing. People like to get up and jam on the piano.
Liza Minnelli
I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.
Christina Milian
It's the faster bands that made me want to play guitar, bands like The Jam.
Graham Coxon
Louis Pasteur said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' If you're really engaged in the writing, you'll work yourself out of whatever jam you find yourself in.
Michael Chabon
You can't jam change down the American people's throat.
Dennis Hastert
