Examples of Fletcher in a Sentence

1. Sarah Paulson:

   I mean [ Fletcher ] won an Academy Award doing it, so there's no where to go but down, i absolutely feel that pressure because I have an enormous reverence for Louis Fletcher and for Louise Fletcher portrayal in that movie and for the movie itself. This story stands on its own in Sixth Sense that we are starting many years prior to when we meet Nurse Ratched in the movie' Cuckoos Nest,' so I know that I'm not going to be trying to emulate what she did because this is prior to her doing what she did in the movie. I have a little bit of leeway there, but I'm certainly thinking about it.

2. Viola Fletcher:

   We asked her for another hearing day because mother( Viola) Viola Fletcher turns 108 on May 10, and we asked Caroline Wall and... we said' look, this issue needs to be resolved before this lady turns 108 years old.' And that's why she granted that hearing.

3. Guan Pickett:

   I'm not familiar with him, but I know one thing. I'm not going to vote for Brian Fletcher.

4. Fletcher High Schools principal:

   The flag, which is known as the Thin Blue Line flag, has different meaning for different people, and rather than representing the young mans personal feelings, it was being interpreted as a political statement of the team and of Fletcher High Schools, in consultation with the coaches, I determined that the act of using this flag in this personal way, while in the context of the football game opening ceremony, could easily be construed as representing a political position of Fletcher High Schools and not just the personal feelings of the student and his teammates. Therefore, I have determined that it is no longer appropriate to continue.

5. Angela Lansbury:

   People say to me,' Well, how can you play Jessica Fletcher and then you come along and play Madame Arcati ?' i say,' It's all about imagination.' That's what acting is, is imagination. If you don't have imagination, you're not going to want to play different roles. I've always wanted to attack roles that didn't appear to be something I'd ever done before.
