Louisville Quotes

“Louisville is a place with no labels. It’s not the South, it’s not Chicago, and you don’t think of it as you think of New York or LA. It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky that has always provided a fertile, often dark, bed. For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness. The place has its flaws: You move away, but you’re always going to come back.” – Jim James

“As you may know, KFC is under worldwide pressure to eliminate its cruelest abuses of chickens, such as cutting the beaks off baby birds; breeding chickens to grow so large, so quickly that many suffer crippling injuries; and slitting the birds’ throats or dropping them into tanks of scalding-hot water while they are still alive and able to feel pain.” – Pamela Anderson

“I can eat everything; chocolate, hamburgers, pizza, go to McDonalds, Burger King, KFC. It’s all in my body.” – Rain

I am calling for a boycott of all KFC restaurants until my friends at PETA tell me that you have agreed to be kinder in your practices.” – Pamela Anderson

“KFC has no excuse for refusing to adopt these basic, minimal animal-welfare standards … After two years of fruitless negotiations with the company, we’re trying a more personal approach.” – Bruce Friedrich

Kentucky Derby quotes

“When I was in high school, my uncle, who went to the races quite a bit, got me interested. Then when I went to college at Southern Illinois University, just a few hours from Louisville, we used to go to the Kentucky Derby, and I got to see Secretariat and Riva Ridge win.” – Kenny Troutt

“To win the Kentucky Derby is the goal of every trainer, every hot-walker, every backside person. They may be just rubbing on a horse, or hot-walking a horse, but they wonder if they could win the Kentucky Derby.” – Bob Lewis

“You can’t win the Kentucky Derby unless you’re on a thoroughbred.” – Joe Torre

“As a young boy I won a few dollars in 1972 when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby. I had overheard someone say he was going to win, and I guess that made an impression on me.” – Matt Gonzalez
