We live in a time where we're made to feel guilty about overeating, oversleeping, and not exercising. Garfield not only does all that, but he doesn't apologize for it.

Jim Davis

I feel very privileged to have worked with a lot of outstanding actors: Alun Armstrong, Peter Mullan, Matt Smith and Andrew Garfield.

Andrew Buchan

Pretty early, when I started playing golf, I was compared to Garfield Sobers, who played both cricket and golf.

Brian Lara

With the Lincoln assassination, the South didn't feel it could mourn along with the North. But Garfield was beloved by all the American people. He was trusted and respected by North and South, by freed slaves and former slave owners. Also by pioneers, which his parents had been, and by immigrants.

Candice Millard

I had a moment in the Library of Congress among the presidential papers. I opened a folder, and there was an envelope in it. The front of the envelope was facing the table, so I didn't know what was in it. I opened it and out spilled all this hair. I turned the envelop over and it says, 'Clipped from President Garfield's head on his deathbed.'

Candice Millard

I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance.

Charlie Haden

I like to do 'Garfield Mondays': lasagna and napping in a box.

Chris Pratt

I definitely grew up on Garfield. I just loved his pessimism.

It can be frustrating when you're put in a category with others. Women do get lumped together in this reductive grouping, and you think, 'Gosh, that rarely happens with the boys.' I'm sure people don't say to Eddie Redmayne, 'How do you feel about Andrew Garfield?'

Felicity Jones

Garfield is my spirit animal.

Henry Zebrowski

My earliest realization of the stir of national life was the torch parade in the Garfield campaign. On that occasion, I was not only allowed out that night, but I saw the lamps being filled and lighted.

Herbert Hoover

I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him.

Jack Klugman

George Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower all rode their wartime heroics into the White House.

Jeff Greenfield

Take the veto. Bush is the first president since James Garfield in 1881 not to veto a single bill. Garfield only had six months in office; Bush has had over four years.

Jim Cooper

We live in a time where we're made to feel guilty about overeating, oversleeping, and not exercising. Garfield not only does all that, but he doesn't apologize for it.

Jim Davis

Readers have told me that their children have learned to read after years of struggle after starting to read Garfield's comic strip and many people who have moved to the United States have said that they, too, learned English by reading Garfield.

Jim Davis

I was very happy and honored to create the Professor Garfield Foundation with Ball State to make reading fun.

Jim Davis

The surprising thing was, it's actually easier working on animation than working on a comic strip, because Garfield is animated in my head.

Jim Davis

I'm pretty deep into '80s nostalgia, specifically children's entertainment, so a lot of California Raisins, Garfield, Alf - that's kind of a lot of the clothes I have and cherish the most.

Kyle Mooney

I'm 5 9, and there were two stars in my life who didn't mind that I was taller than they - George Raft and John Garfield.

Marie Windsor

I went through a phase where people would introduce me at parties as a cartoonist, and everybody felt sorry for me. 'Oh, Matt's a cartoonist.' Then people further feeling sorry for me would ask me to draw Garfield. Because I'm a cartoonist, draw Snoopy or Garfield or something.
