He was white and shaken, like a dry martini.

P. G. Wodehouse

I am prepared to believe that a dry martini slightly impairs the palate, but think what it does for the soul.

Alec Waugh

He had never missed God or the hope of heaven, but he had dearly wanted confession to rest his mind, Communion to let him touch something beyond Father Krone's dry, shaky hand, and holy water to taste like starlight.

Peter S. Beagle

I have either a cucumber martini, gin martini, or a vodka martini. That's it. Simple.

Robert De Niro

Actually, if you listen to the vocals on my grandfather's records, you will hear we sound similar. We both sound kind of dry. We have a dry voice, and we both love harmony - he was a man of harmony, I'm a man of harmony. I think it just runs in our blood.

Desiigner

Let's get out of these wet clothes and into a dry Martini.

Mae West

Why don't you get out of that wet coat and into a dry martini?

Eric Stoltz

How about slipping out of those wet things and into a dry Martini?

A medium Vodka dry Martini - with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred.

Ian Fleming

We didn't want to sound like an old and crusty financial institution. We wanted to sound like we were fast moving and that we had this killer technology that was also safe.

Jared Isaacman

Well, obviously I wanted it to sound as original as possible. I suppose the influences that we had were probably from the actual power point of view we wanted to be like the Who. Vocally we wanted to be like the Beach Boys, whatever was good at the time.

Roy Wood

I think from the very beginning with 'We Are Young,' there was never any question about where we wanted the song to go and what we wanted it to sound like. And we knew that we wanted it to be big, we wanted it to be booming over the speakers at an arena or something.

I couldn't go into the haphazard drawing or the paintings, the splashing of paint. I wanted to go back to a completely dry drawing, a dry conception of art.

Marcel Duchamp

I don't know if it's possible to affect my ego any more. There's no room left. For me, I think I make music like the way I think it should be made, like what rock should sound like. It has nothing to do with the current marketplace. And so from that state of mind, it's gonna sound different from anything else out there. And when something sounds different, I think that can be inspiring to other musicians.
