Piper took me one step further in that it got my first real recording contract but the band just didn't quite mature. It didn't break things open, but it got me to the door.
Billy Squier
I owe a lot to Roddy Piper.
Bret Hart
I want people to feel what it was like in the '40s. That's when popular music in the United States was so beautiful. Frank Sinatra, the Pied Pipers, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Tommy Dorsey, Billie Holiday. That's when popular music had deeper values, to me. This was music that was selling millions of records.
Charlie Haden
When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a dentist. But I'm so glad I didn't.' Because when I look out and see that I feel like the Pied Piper of love.
Chris Isaak
Early in the 1990s, I flew alone in a dandelion-yellow, single-engine, 180-horsepower Piper Cherokee from Westchester County Airport in New York westward to the Rocky Mountains, landing and refuelling a good many times in middle-sized cities and towns along the way.
Cynthia Ozick
That was the ultimate high, playing live. You feel like the Pied Piper, or a conductor, knowing how to take an audience up or bring them down.
Dave Clark
Piper insisted she had to be out of breath when we played this one scene, so she ran around the block. Thank God she wasn't doing a crucifixtion scene; we would have had to nail her to the wall.
Dick York
When you're asked to fly a 747 you better at least be able to fly a Piper cub.
Edward James Olmos
All my life I have lived and behaved very much like the sandpiper - just running down the edges of different countries and continents, 'looking for something'.
Elizabeth Bishop
I wrestled Roddy quite a few times when he was first coming up in the business. I would go to Canada and wrestle up in that area, and you would be involved with him, too. Piper's a good guy.
Harley Race
I am a huge fan of Adrian Piper: how she works, how she reveals her process in the work, how she writes about it.
Jason Moran
Without Roddy Piper, you can't have an equal good. He was a great villain and so believable. He wasn't playing a part ever.
Jeff Jarrett
I love the uilleann pipes and listen to Ronan Browne who's an uilleann piper.
John Hurt
There were times after the accident when I felt very lonely - burns survivors can feel terrible isolation. I wanted to create something that connects us all together, so that was the idea behind the Katie Piper Foundation.
Katie Piper
The main reason I started The Katie Piper Foundation was because I had treatment abroad that I wanted other burns survivors in this country to have access to.
In my childhood there was every year at my old home, Roxborough, or, as it is called in Irish, Cregroostha, a great sheep-shearing that lasted many days. On the last evening there was always a dance for the shearers and their helpers, and two pipers used to sit on chairs placed on a corn-bin to make music for the dance.
Lady Gregory
I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo.
Lena Headey
Larry Hagman was my best friend for 35 years. He was the Pied Piper of life and brought joy to everyone he knew.
Linda Gray
'Pied Piper' came to me all at once; I wanted to do a fairy-tale movie with some edge, but not 'dark,' per se.
Max Landis
The rain, which had continued yesterday and last night, ceased this morning. We then proceeded, and after passing two small islands about ten miles further, stopped for the night at Piper's landing, opposite another island.
Meriwether Lewis
So many of us can recall growing up with Gene Okerlund as the voice of our childhoods while interviewing the likes of Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Sting, and others.
Risk is the sort of word that is easy to discuss upfront but tough to handle when it comes time to pay the piper. There will always be some who wimp out and second-guess when the pain hits, but that is a childish reaction.
The old series of sittings with Mrs. Piper convinced me of survival for reasons which I should find it hard to formulate in any strict fashion, but that was their distinct effect.
A clock struck out the hour of twelve, and the bird in the hedgerow was still singing as we marched out to the roadway, and followed our merry pipers home to town.
In wrestling, if there is a legend, Roddy Piper is a legend, no doubt about it. Nobody was ever like he was.
Nobody was ever better than Roddy Piper was when it came to interviews. He didn't pull no punches. He wasn't afraid of nothin' or nobody. He was a trip, and he was good people, too. He was a good friend. A damn good friend.
Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!
One thing is certain. The old Piper Laurie is no more.
I started calling myself the Pied Piper, when I started using the flute sound in my music.
I've called myself the Pied Piper, I've called myself the Weatherman, I've called myself Kellz, I've called myself a lot of things, changing the name, switching it up, just flipping, remixing. But never to harm anybody. Never to make a deep statement for people to dig into and figure it out.
I don't really know the story of the Pied Piper. I don't read stories, first of all. I just remember either a rabbit or a rat leading people out of the village with a flute. That's all I can tell you.
You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?
When I was 14, I was 5th in the world playing bagpipes - that's how I got the name Roddy the Piper, and then, you know, eventually it just became 'Roddy Piper.'
For anyone who's not familiar with 'Piper's Pit,' they need to know one thing - there's absolutely no rules.
'Piper's Pit' was totally unscripted - everything just happened - thus, innovation was a challenging must to accomplish.
There's a picture of me at 3 years old playing the baby rat in 'The Pied Piper.'
I don't want to be the Pied Piper of fast food.
I see Christ as the incarnation of the piper who is calling us. He dances that shape and pattern which is at the heart of our reality.
I'm just a Parma kid who lived in the Sandpiper and went to Normandy. If I can do it, you can do whatever you set as your goal.
I was always taught if you do something, face the piper. Try to make it right.
Where did the inspiring Obama of the campaign go, that Facebook pied piper who friended the whole world with this update: 'Change you can believe in.' What happened to him?
