I didn't want to be one of the Beach Boys or one of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band. I mean, we appreciated that music. But I didn't want to grow a beard to look like Roy Wood just because I liked him.
— Rick Nielsen
Every year the State will be the dog that chases its own tail... engaging in a futile attempt to close a perpetual budget gap.
— Richard J. Codey
Someone told me a woman bought a dog so she could take it to the same park where I go running, but I'm hoping that's rubbish.
— Richard C. Armitage
I was a dog man. I love dogs. I had a cat in my later years and fell in love with this little cat, but every kid should have a dog. There's no doubt about it. We've had a lot of fun with them.
— Regis Philbin
The last thing that scared me... it was probably something stupid, like when someone jumped out at me, or I thought my new dog had gone to the toilet underneath my piano. Lots of silly things.
— Rebecca Hall
Close to my heart is Muddy Waters. I love the way he sang. It was almost like a bark. It was like the bark of a dog: it's not fancy. Sometimes it's not like singing; it's like shouting.
— Rag'n'Bone Man
We have a queen-size bed and the dog sleeps in the middle. John and I are sort of these little quotation marks on either corner.
— Rachael Ray
We have Beast, our Hungarian sheep dog. And he is so talented. He's so smart. He knows his daily schedule. He has an extracurricular activity. He goes herding. He herds sheep. And we've been told that he's quite gifted.
— Priscilla Chan

— Pete Wentz
I lived at home off and on until I was 37. I have about a million college credits. I'd worry about writing about anyone else because I'd be invading their privacy, but you can use your mom and dad and their dog for everything!
— Peggy Rathmann
I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog whilst out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.
— Paula Radcliffe
I am not a cat lover. I am a dog lover - but I'm only a lover of hypoallergenic dogs.
— Rick Hoffman
What I wear identifies me as a priest. I don't agree with all this trying to appear 'normal'. If you want that to be normal, don't take off your dog collar and then put it on again, because what you're doing is playing along with the view that wearing one makes you odd.
— Richard Coles
I'm just a battler making an honest buck who goes home to his missus and his dog at the end of the day.
— Rex Hunt
No one in my family is in show business, unless you count dog shows as show business.
— Rebel Wilson
I used to have a dog, and I was very close to my dog, and he passed away, so when I need to bring out a moment where I'm crying, I bring out that moment. His name was Rinkles. All of the boys in my family's names are spelled with an 'R,' and he was a boy, so he was Rinkles with an 'R,' not a 'W.'
— Raymond Ochoa
I work too much to be an appropriate parent. I feel like a bad mom to my dog some days because I'm just not here enough. I just feel like I would do a bad job if I took the time to literally give birth to a kid right now and try and juggle everything I'm doing.
I read everywhere. I read every day. I read on the couch with my dog in the afternoon and at night. I try to read at least two to three hours a day. I read only fiction.
— R. L. Stine
Golf seems to be an arduous way to go for a walk. I prefer to take the dog's out.
— Princess Anne
I went to a Radiohead concert with Mr. Aaron Paul and became instantly hip. He's a great tweeter and took a photograph of the two of us. He said, 'Man, look at this! We've already got 800 hits in five minutes!' So this old dog became hip.
— Pierce Brosnan
I don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.
— Phillip Lim
I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They're massive, weimaraners; they've got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they're liver-coloured.
— Phil Daniels
We've all seen 'Network' and 'Wag the Dog,' but we were somehow insulated by the fact that those were just movies, fictions, and we could rest easy that the Real News doesn't operate that way. Well, it does - sometimes.
— Peter Landesman
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That's about as exciting as my life gets.
— Peter Dinklage
I had brothers and sisters and did chores and had to pick up the dog crap in the yard and mow the lawn and do all the normal things that kids have to do.
— Peter Billingsley
I always thought I'd adopt - I have a dog but no children.

— Pearl S. Buck
Everybody should have a shelter dog. It's good for the soul.
— Paul Shaffer
With 'Moreau,' it's been particularly confusing because I started out being the writer of the screenplay and then trying to be the director, then being moved from being the director and having to become the dog extra, it makes some kind of sense to suddenly become a character in the story.
— Richard Stanley
The dog collar is fascinating to people, when it doesn't repel. I've got used to being shouted at in the street.
My daughter is here in town doing a play, and her dog is staying with us. We live up in the hills, so he has access to thousands of acres of wilderness.
— Rene Auberjonois
Up until the age of 12, I went to dog shows every weekend. Mum showed beagles. It's a really competitive and eclectic world filled with characters who wear interesting outfits - similar to 'Toddlers & Tiaras,' but with dogs.
He reproduced himself with so much humble objectivity, with the unquestioning, matter of fact interest of a dog who sees himself in a mirror and thinks: there's another dog.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center.
I couldn't live without my faithful companion, Megs the dog.
— Prue Leith
In high school I was the dog, always, and I never have felt comfortable or right in my body, and part of my whole exhibitionist thing has probably been a way of testing to see whether or not I really was this repulsive creature that I felt like for so long.
— Poppy Z. Brite
Bite us once, shame on the dog; bite us repeatedly, shame on us for allowing it.
— Phyllis Schlafly
I know every part of their lives. I know about their animals; if they've got a dog, I know its name. My players love their dogs. I know about their partners; I know if they go to the cinema - it's the detail you need to be successful. If they have an ice cream, I know about it.
— Phil Neville
One of my friends started a company in 1997, seven years before Facebook, called SocialNet. And they had all these ideas, and you could be, like, a cat, and I'd be a dog on the Internet, and we'd have this virtual reality, and we would just not be ourselves. That didn't work because reality always works better than any fake version of it.
— Peter Thiel
Writing 'Dog Stars' was coming home. My spirit just sang. It's what I wanted to do my whole life.
— Peter Heller
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.
Between November 23, 2002, and January 11, 2003, al-Qahtani was interrogated for 48 days at Guantanamo more or less continuously, kept awake for much of that time by loud music being blasted when he was falling asleep, doused with water and subjected to cold temperatures, kept naked and forced to perform tricks as if he were a dog.
— Peter Bergen
'Zolten' is a common Hungarian name, it's my wife's maiden name and most importantly, it's the name of Dracula's dog.
— Penn Jillette
Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?
