'Bombay Velvet' is my first film in a trilogy about Bombay, before it became a metropolis.

- Anurag Kashyap

I've come to think of Dunnett as the literary equivalent of the Velvet Underground; Not many people bought the books, but everyone who did wrote a novel.

- Alaya Dawn Johnson

Iron hand in a velvet glove.

- Charles V

My grandfather was a very strong personality. He certainly ruled his household with an iron fist, even though it was often gloved in velvet!

- Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Parallels between classical and pop are not new. The whole San Francisco movement of John Cage and Terry Riley went hand in glove with what the Velvet Underground were doing.

- Charles Hazlewood

I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes.

- Demetri Martin

I like Velvet Underground, but I was never really hardcore into them. I like them, and I like Nico, but I won't front like I'm super knowledgeable. I just never got around to it.

- Eric Andre

No part of Manhattan these days really has the same vibe I get from a Ramones song or a Velvet Underground song.

- Ezra Koenig

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

- Henry David Thoreau

I questioned everything. I didn't see a character developed in Platoon at all. The character in Blue Velvet was much more fascinating to me.

- Kyle MacLachlan

I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.

- Martin Gore

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

- Martin Gore

As a songwriter, oddly enough, my influences were people like Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, and Buddy Holly. Some psychedelic stuff, too.

- Ric Ocasek

I'll never turn down a red velvet cupcake.

- Shay Mitchell

I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.

- Tom Sizemore
