It's quiz time!

I thought I'd do a quiz! Five rounds; no prizes!; answers next week.

Who am I?

All the following quotes are from very famous people.  But who?

1. "When I got outta High School I was driving a truck. I was just a poor boy from Memphis, Memphis.”

2. “There are still courses in the United States that I am not allowed to play because of the colour of my skin.”

3. "Singing in the jungle was very hot and very sticky, which was a bit hard going. I had a little piano, which they trudged around on the back of a lorry, hoping it would survive the journeys.”

4. “I am not the first woman to multi-task. I am not the first woman to work and have a baby - there are many women who have done this before.”

5. “Stalinism is linked with a cult of personality and massive violations of the law, with repression and camps. There is nothing like that in Russia and, I hope, will never again be.”

6. “I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.”

7. “And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago - by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.”

8. “I would say, if you come out, they can't take away how you play football. That was the thing for me: once I did come out, it's not going to affect my diving. I can still perform, no matter what anybody else thinks of me.”

9. “We wish to discuss a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid. (D.N.A.). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biologic interest.”

10. “I tend to play characters that I can infuse with certain kinds of humour. Even the baddest guy can be funny in his own particular way. I want the audience to engage with the character on some deeper level so that they leave the cinema still thinking about him.”
