I hope someone can help with these quotes for a quiz I am doing.
1 "Sir Adrian Bolt came to see me this morning,positively reeking of Horlicks"
2 "A review in the Financial Times said I was an extremely funky pianist. That was a good summing up of what I am"
3 "I'm Irish, we think sideways"
4 " The most difficult job in the world is not being President, it's being a parent"
5 " I wasn't evening the index"
6 "Art pales when compared to workings of nature"
Thanks for any help. XX
