Cop Quotes - page 6

Gimmicks come and go; the cop show seems one genre that will never leave - not as long as people like to sit at home in the suburbs and see what awful things go on in the cities. (Tom Shales)

I've always had a desire to play a cop or FBI agent.

Tricia Helfer

My siblings and I, we were raised on TV and films. Not a day went by that we weren't watching one of three movies - 'Caddyshack,' 'Animal House,' 'Beverly Hills Cop' - on rotation. Our comedy, our personalities were set watching 'Sesame Street': these really sort of wacky, Jim Henson-y characters.

Teddy Sears

New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves. All these cliches that, as an Englishman, I thought were from a bygone era or were a bit of poetic license with cop shows - the more you hang out with them, the more you realize how real that jargon is.

Theo James

The stuff that I find really intriguing is always how do ordinary people behave in extraordinary circumstances. And that's why we have a lot of cop shows and lawyer shows and medical shows is that you're looking for situations that just always heighten the stakes.

Zeljko Ivanek

Well, for one thing, you know my dad was a cop.

Edward Burns

Stop,” Holden said. "I don't care. I don't want to hear any more of your stories about how being a cop makes you wiser and deeper and able to face the truth about humanity. As far as I can tell, all it did was break you. Okay?” "Yeah, okay.” "Dresden and his Protogen buddies thought they could choose who lives and who dies. That sound familiar? And don't tell me it's different this time, because everyone says that, every time. And it's not.

Daniel Abraham

This is a sturdy little cop thriller, and even when it stretches the bounds of plausibility, you go with it, partly because you believe -- almost against your better judgment -- in what the characters are doing.

Stephanie Zacharek

We were the kids that made America famous. The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to dispair. We were lazy long hairs dropping out, lost confused, and copping out. Convinced our futures were in doubt and trying not to care.

Harry Chapin

I think even if I did try to write something that had nothing to do with women or race, which are two pretty broad topics, I don't know how I would do that. I don't think there's a way that I could write a buddy cop drama, or something really far from anything I've written, that didn't have pieces of race and gender. Those are parts of the world we live in, and they are things I think about. It all comes into the voice of your writing, and you can't write about someone else's voice. You can only write in your own.

Celeste Ng

When your dad's a cop, calling 911 is really just like calling Dad at work. (Ryan Reynolds)

One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, 'Didn't you see the stop sign' I said, 'Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read'

Steven Wright

I got my driver's license photo taken out of focus on purpose. Now when I get pulled over, the cop looks at it moving it nearer and farther, trying to see it clearly, and says, 'Here, you can go'

Steven Wright

With 'Rampart,' I read it and I'm like, 'That's the best role I've ever been offered. Phenomenal.' But, I was daunted, you know? Like the concept of trying to be a cop. It's just bizarre, man. Bizarre to even think about.

Woody Harrelson

Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes... You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.

Hunter S. Thompson

Basically, your fear is like a mall cop who thinks he's a Navy SEAL: He hasn't slept in days, he's all hopped up on Red Bull, and he's liable to shoot at his own shadow in an absurd effort to keep everyone "safe.

Elizabeth Gilbert

You can't be a rascal for 40 years and then cop a plea the last minute. God keeps better books than that.

Wilson Mizner

I had a happy, dramafree youth, growing up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child... I don't think that's why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they've never copped to it.

Jeff Dunham

But Richard had already gone the cop route and found it not nearly as productive as driving around with a sledgehammer and retaining the services of men with oxyacetylene torches.

Neal Stephenson

You know that look a cop gives you when he's so confused that he doesn't even know how to respond? If you don't know that look, it means you haven't had enough fun in your life.

Tucker Max

I absolutely reject the premise there is anything wrong with Black people "talking white”. It is as if to vast swathes of the privileged white left and impoverished Black community diction, education and a mastery of thought is somehow "white”... comrade, how wrong you are to say that after decades in academia I'm acting white. I'm being black. I'm being black everyday a cop pulls my car over for a "routine stop”, I'm being black each time I look in the mirror, and I'm damn well being black when I school young fools out of the myth our race is too ill-evolved to be both black and accomplished. (Elaine Brown)

I think my wife and my kids are incredibly good to allow me to stay in public life given that they have to cop a whole lot of collateral attention that, being human, they'd rather not get.

Tony Abbott

I went to an acting school while I was a cop still...The moment I was involved in that world, it electrified me and I realized that it was something that I wanted to do.

David Zayas

I give up. Game over. The blame game is not over. Try as I may to get this administration to move on and claim ownership for this economy it's still, still blaming the prior administration for this economy. More than a year in still copping out. The mess we inherited, the bailouts we had to figure out, the banks that went bust, not on our watch but their watch, blah, blah, blah.

Neil Cavuto

If the cop honestly felt that this was a young black man (as politically incorrect as it sounds, this is the most violent category of people in the USA in 2014) aiming a gun at him, the cop can hardly be blamed for shooting first.
