James Gunn

When I got hired to do 'Guardians,' it was the dream of a lifetime for me. This is what I've been working towards. I've always wanted to create a space adventure, and especially a space adventure with a raccoon. Now that I'm finally able to do it, I created exactly the movie I wanted to make.

American Director

Gregory Porter

The nice thing about living in a semi-small town is that I can just go home and switch off. I go home now and I trim roses, rake leaves, wake up early in the morning and scare the raccoons off the lawn! It's kinda nice, that's the way I turn off, in Bakersfield, California.

American Musician

Steven Tyler

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

American Singer

Elizabeth Marshall Thomas

We may never find a way to live in suburbia with deer as we do with raccoons, say, or squirrels. So for this reason, it's very important that we make sure always to save enough wild or open land so that they can live in their normal manner.

American Author

Phil Donahue

Some people are uncomfortable with the idea that humans belong to the same class of animals as cats and cows and raccoons. They're like the people who become successful and then don't want to be reminded of the old neighborhood.

American Entertainer

Mike Leach

Tracked a raccoon one time in the snow. I was in the neighborhood and I was just curious where this raccoon lived. There's some fresh raccoon tracks. He'd been digging at somebody's garbage.

American Coach

Christopher Buckley

I'd been told, or warned, that when you paint one room, not only will it look nice, but it will also make the room next to it look as if raccoons have been living in it for the past decade.

American Novelist

Emily Meade

I definitely went through some dark teenage years. I wore black raccoon eyeliner every single day. I would be late to school if I didn't have time to put my eyeliner on.

American Actress

Kathi Appelt

I always wanted to write a raccoon story. I don't know why. It's not like I want to own a raccoon or anything like that. I'm just fascinated by them.

American Writer

Nikki Reed

I learned how to change a cloth diaper on a raccoon. I was maybe 8 or 9.

Raccoons are associated with North America, so the term is often linked to American culture or wildlife.

Native Habitat

Raccoons are nocturnal, so their name might imply someone who is active at night.

Nighttime Activity

Raccoons are often seen as curious due to their scavenging habits, which can be a metaphor for inquisitiveness.

Curiosity

Using 'raccoon' to label a person is negative and implies dishonest behavior.

Negative Connotation

Be aware that some may find the term offensive, so use it carefully in conversation.

Cultural Sensitivity

Be cautious not to stereotype individuals; using 'raccoon' can be seen as labeling a whole group.
