I enjoyed clowns when I was a kid going to the circus. Mainly I mean the good clowns, when you go to a circus.

Andy Muschietti

I like the clowns from the circus that have more paint on their face. They were all funny and made me laugh. As a kid, I remember the clowns that were all in white reminded me more of death than circus clowns. It can be a scary thing.

Peter Stormare

The first time I encountered Stephen Sondheim was like everyone else: through snatches of old songs people performed in drama school, through 'Send in the Clowns,' which everyone knew. I wasn't aware at the time that he was the writing force behind 'West Side Story' and 'Gypsy.'

Michael Ball

I've said it from the very beginning: Fighting the best guys in the world doesn't pay as good as the circus. I want to join the circus. I'm trying to get that circus money.

Eddie Alvarez

When I first started dating my husband, I had this weird fascination with the circus and clowns and old carnival things and sideshow freaks and all that. About a month after we started dating, he bought me this amazing black-and-white photo book on the circus in the 1930s, and I started sobbing.

Christina Hendricks

I used to take circus lessons. I dreamt of being picked up in the street because they saw me doing something circus-like.

Lotte Verbeek

You start in April and cross to the time of May One has you as it leaves, one as it comes Since the edges of these months are yours and defer To you, either of them suits your praises. The Circus continues and the theatre's lauded palm, Let this song, too, join the Circus spectacle.

Ovid

The circus is a global theme. It exists in all parts of the world - maybe not in Africa, but it exists in Asia in all parts. In Latin America, it's difficult to find a person who hasn't gone to the circus.

Fernando Botero

Clowns are the pegs on which the circus is hung.

P. T. Barnum

I'm divorced and I've been to the circus and seen the clowns. This ain't my first rodeo.

Naomi Judd

A circus here, a circus there; here today, gone tomorrow. Big Brother watching you. Fear eats the soul.

David Peace

We came here for a small, informal meeting. We find you've turned it into a circus. Well, if you're going to have a circus, you've got to have elephants.

Robert A. Heinlein

The circus allows one to be logical and unreal at the same time. In the circus, all is possible: there can be a man with two heads or a character with a green face.

Fernando Botero

I'm very influenced by the circus. A lot of the dreams that I have, I'm in the circus.

Jeff Mangum

I hate clowns and I would never do anything getting near a clown, I can't go to the circus.

Ty Simpkins

Writing is for men who can think and feel, not mindless sensation seekers out of nightclubs and bars. But these are bad times. We are condemned to work with upstarts, clowns who no doubt got their training in a circus and then turned to journalism as the appropriate place to display their tricks.

Naguib Mahfouz
