If ever you are to be visited by the Holy Ghost, you should make certain you're sitting beside a fireman.

Frank McCourt

If the house is on fire, and the fireman shows up, you don't question his color or credentials. You don't send him back to the firehouse and say, 'Send somebody else.'

Bert Lance

I tend to get comfortable with the dialogue and find out who the person is in the script and try to hit that. People are sort of independent of their occupations and their pastimes. You don't play a politician or a fireman or a cowboy - you just play a person.

Billy Campbell

I decided I would go to Chicago and try my luck as a writer after those eight months as a fireman.

Carl Sandburg

I think sports has done a disservice for a lot of black kids thinking they can only be successful through athletics and entertainment. I want them to know they can be doctors, lawyers, teachers, fireman, police officers, etc.

Charles Barkley

Kids are always asked, What are you going to be when you grow up? I needed an answer. So instead of saying, a fireman, or a policeman, I said, a reporter.

Charles Kuralt

I'm very proud of being Italian-American, but people don't realize that the mafia is just this aberration. The real community is built on the working man, the guy who's the cop, the fireman, the truck driver, the bus driver.

Chazz Palminteri

I loved Lil Wayne growing up; he was like the king when I was growing up. I remember 'Fireman.' That was one of my favorite songs.

Chris Harris, Jr.

One of the things that I first remember wanting to be was a 'geolisty' - that was the best I could say when I was a kid. That was right after I stopped wanting to be a fireman or a truck driver. Because my dad is a paleontologist who worked with the Smithsonian, I got to see the bones up close and the exhibits behind the scenes there.

Craig Mello

I used to think I'd like to be a fireman - in fact, I still would - and the only drawback I could see was coming back to the firehouse, after a day of fighting fires, and still having to put in an eight-hour day writing.

David Mamet

You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.

Duane Chapman

If ever you are to be visited by the Holy Ghost, you should make certain you're sitting beside a fireman.

Frank McCourt

I want to play a fireman and a spy. I want to learn special effects.

Jackie Chan

My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.

Joe Lhota

I wanted to do everything. I wanted to be a pilot. I wanted to be a secret agent. I wanted to be a fireman and a doctor, all that. So I related that through movies and stuff.

Josh Holloway

I never met anybody in my life who says, I want to be a critic. People want to be a fireman, poet, novelist.

Leslie Fiedler

I've had tons of odd jobs, but I think that I would probably be a fireman because you get to see the results of your job. You get there and there is a house on fire. You leave and there's not a fire anymore.

Luke Perry

If I was to do anything besides acting, I would be a fireman or a beat cop. I'd do a regular job.

Manny Montana

I won't cook in deep fat. Years ago, I met a fireman who said most kitchen fires were caused by deep fat, and I don't think that's changed. Oven chips are good enough for my grandchildren, and they're chuffed with that.

Mary Berry

I always wanted to be a cop or a fireman or do something dangerous.

Millicent Simmonds

I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die.

Morris Chestnut
