I will be better in Monte Carlo than I was in Phoenix. If I can't win maybe I will lead 50 laps.

- Jean Alesi

At least in Phoenix, you can get off the main highways and take side streets to where you want to go. In L.A., you can't. You're stuck.

- Steve Finley

There's definitely some parallels between me and Joaquin Phoenix, I think. The line gets so blurry. My rap career wasn't a hoax, but it was absolutely intended to be a joke. The problem was that I really was on a quest to somehow be a Caucasian Ol' Dirty Bastard.

A phoenix, Beirut seems to always pull itself out its ashes, reinvents itself, has been conquered numerous times in its 7,000-year history, yet it survives by both becoming whatever its conquerors wished it to be and retaining its idiosyncratic persona.

- Rabih Alameddine

I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die.

- Morris Chestnut

'The Master' is a wonderful film, honestly, and the actors, Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, are incredible.

- Laetitia Casta

When a role for a young guy is being offered to me, I think of River Phoenix. It feels like a loss.

- Leonardo DiCaprio

I went to this little performing arts school in downtown Phoenix. You had to dance or act, and everyone sang in choir. I started out playing the saxophone, but I always wanted to be in an orchestra. That was a dream as a kid, and there aren't a lot of saxophones in an orchestra.

- Kacy Hill

I like Joaquin Phoenix. He's an amazing actor and he's so buff.

- Katie Leung

Why can I write 'South' with some assurance that you'll know I mean Richmond and don't mean Phoenix? What is it that the South's boundaries enclose?

- John Shelton Reed

Of course New York is the Mecca of style in America, but don't knock Phoenix - it's not as big, but there are lots of people with style there.

- Amar'e Stoudemire

Oddly enough, I've always really loved Nightcrawler. You know who else they didn't use enough was Phoenix. I just thought her story line was so tragic. I was just really drawn to that character as well.

- J. August Richards

Definitely River Phoenix is somebody that I thought, 'This guy is very cool.' I wanted to be like him when I was a kid.

- Jim Sturgess

I was on the board at my children's school in Phoenix: I was Mr. Daddy Daycare.

- Grant Hill

I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.

- Grant Hill

I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I'm assuming they're at least going to want to touch on it, but I don't know and I don't know whether I would want to be involved. That depends on many different things.

- Famke Janssen

Ask yourself: if I were a Chinese spy, why wouldn't I have flown directly into Beijing? I could be living in a palace petting a phoenix by now.

- Edward Snowden

I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.

- Dan Quayle

I'm like a phoenix. I rise from the ashes.

- Bess Myerson

My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years.
