I'm using a quote from a person in an essay introduction. How do I quote it? Use the following for an example...
"I am a very very smart kid."
Person who said it: John Smith
Thanks!

John Smith once said, "I'm a very very smart kid."
End there. Just remember quotes and that's it...it's simple!

Is it from a book. Well, I don't know how to work with your example, but I can give you an example of my own.
Ex. The tree leaves were turning brown and yellow.
It was said by: John Doe from the novel Blah Blah on page 23.
Quote: In the novel, John Doe discusses the leaves changing colors by saying, "The tree leaves were turning brown and yellow(23)"
I think you might have to put the author's last name if it's from a book.
Ex. "The tree leaves were turning brown and yellow (Doe 23)"
To make sure you should ask your English teacher(that is, if your still in grade school).

"I am a very very smart kid." (John Smith, year) is a publishing way to quote. Then you cite him in your bibliography.

Put an asterisk next to it and then put a foot note on the bottom of the page giving credit and your source
