Clint Eastwood Quotes: The Original Westerner

Dustin Hoffman Quotes Photo By Garry Knight

Here is a choice selection of Dustin Hoffman quotes.

‘Acting didn’t solve much! If it did, I would have ended up much less crazy than I am today, but I’m not. At least for me, acting is a relief – a relief to be able to admit certain things about myself and disguise in my work, in my characters.’

‘I started junior college in Los Angeles because I didn’t have the grades to go to university and I didn’t want to go into the military. So in my first year of junior college I’m failing and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to get a job, I want to be a student, and a friend says, “Take acting, because they don’t flunk you – it’s like gym, nobody gets an F.” I took it and suddenly it was the first thing I ever did that wasn’t painful. Where I held focus. And suddenly, rehearsing with somebody – learning lines – hours could pass by. And I begged my parents to let me go to this acting school, because I knew I couldn’t fail.’

‘There’s a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don’t understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don’t understand boredom.’

‘I do believe I represent a certain segment of society that find the humor in anything, because it’s the only revenge you have against mortality. If I had my choice, I’d like the die having just finished a joke that worked.’

‘A waiter is treated especially badly by people and I had a tendency to strike back, with humor. I’d give the customers some smartassed remark. But if I knew I was about to be fired, I’d go all out to get fired in style.’

Dracula Quotes Gary Oldman As Count Dracula (1992)

Here is a choice pick of Dracula Quotes

‘Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky.’

‘No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.’

‘I saw the Count lying within the box upon the earth, some of which the rude falling from the cart had scattered over him. He was deathly pale, just like a waxen image, and the red eyes glared with the horrible vindictive look which I knew so well.’

‘Let me be accurate in everything, for though you and I have seen some strange things together, you may at the first think that I, Van Helsing, am mad. That the many horrors and the so long strain on nerves has at the last turn my brain.’

‘Oh, the terrible struggle that I have had against sleep so often of late; the pain of the sleeplessness, or the pain of the fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror as it has for me! How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.’

‘Remember my friend, that knowledge is stronger than memory, and we should not trust the weaker.’

‘Doctor, you don’t know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don’t; you couldn’t with eyebrows like yours.’

Michelle Williams Quotes Photo By MingleMediaTVNetwork

‘When my daughter asks, ‘What do you do?’, every movie I have a different answer. As she grows, she wants more explanations.’

‘It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I’m still looking for that.’

‘Grief is like a moving river, so that’s what I mean by it’s always changing. It’s a strange thing to say because I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.’

‘I experienced a lot of loss after his death. I lost my city because of all the paparazzi descending upon us. I actually lost my journal during that time, oddly enough. I literally couldn’t hold on to anything.‘ – on Heath Ledger’s death.

‘I was born with a fierce need for independence.’

‘The possibilities are endless for me — Broadway, TV, music and film,’

‘I feel like I’m watching a movie. I watch the news and the television, and I think it’s going to hit me sometime soon.’

‘I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.’

‘I have the usual self-loathing and body issues and yet I seem to be naked in a lot of movies. The nudity has to end somewhere. It would be really nice if the pictures did not get posted online. But then maybe that’s a reason to do it: Just get naked, and who cares if it ends up on the internet.’

‘ I am a slave to my computer. I hate myself when I email. Email is like a dopamine hit — you wait for it and then you get it. I gave up my computer during my last movie, Meek’s Cutoff, which is a period piece and I took to letter writing. My girlfriends got some great letters. But when it ended I was back on email. I’m an addict.’

Michelle Williams Quotes: A Talented Actress On Loss And Being Herself

Heath Ledger Quotes Photo By Howie Berlin

Here is a selection of the most choice Heath Ledger quotes.

‘I’m not good at future planning. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.’

‘If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don’t grow.’

‘I’m in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood. I only do this because I’m having fun. The day I stop having fun, I’ll just walk away. I wasn’t going to have fun doing a teen movie again. I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life. I don’t. I don’t even want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry. There’s so much more I want to discover.’

‘It’s not a disease. It’s not contagious. They should understand that it’s a story of pure love. They don’t have to be a hero. They don’t have to be brave like us. I guess a little bit of maturity is being asked for because society has been immature in the past. That’s about it.’

‘We have a few places up our sleeves, … I would much rather work in Europe than America.’

‘I had a year where I sat around on my butt and declined generous offers to do more teen movies and more of the same characters as the one from 10 Things. I was literally living off Ramen noodles and water just because I was sticking to my guns. It was very hard because they offer you so much money. It’s so easy to say, ‘Ah f**k it, at least I can live and eat’

‘All of this is so insignificant. In the grand scale of things, there have been so many before who have been in this position. I’m just another one. Life is so short. It’s like we’re already gone, really, in retrospect’

‘I love acting. Oh, God, I love it. But all this fame and all this bullshit attention. I’m not supernatural. I’ve done nothing extremely special to deserve the position. It happens every couple of years, and it’s happened to hundreds of people before me.’

‘When anything is blocking my head or there’s worry in my life, I just go sit on Mars or something and look back here at Earth. All you can see is this tiny speck. You don’t see the fear. You don’t see the pain. You don’t see thought. It’s just one solid speck. Then nothing really matters. It just doesn’t.’

‘I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices — it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath — someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts … just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown …. [given] free rein [by Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan was] fun, because there are no real boundaries to what The Joker would say or do. Nothing intimidates him, and everything is a big joke.’

‘The house wife is an unpaid employee in her husband’s house in return for the security of being a permanent employee.’

‘We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.’

‘I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I’ve always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I’d fall in love with a woman. Damn.’

‘Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.’

‘You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.’

‘Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?’

‘I didn’t fight to get women out from behind vacuum cleaners to get them onto the board of Hoover.’

‘Developing the muscles of the soul demands no competitive spirit, no killer instinct, although it may erect pain barriers that the spiritual athlete must crash through.’

‘All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.’

‘Who’s Jim Henson for God sakes? I’m up here working my tail off! I hear his name bandied about a lot, but I don’t know him. I don’t know who Henson is. He seems to have his hand in a lot of things around here, but I don’t particularly know what that means.’

‘Miss Piggy and I have a professional acting relationship. I act like a professional, and she acts like we’re having a relationship.’

‘Miss Piggy really hasn’t mellowed much. Piggy is a prima donna. And her reputation proceeds her, I’m afraid, just like her snout.’

‘It’s not easy being green.’

‘Someday we’ll find it, that rainbow connection, the lovers the dreamers and me.’

‘I’d have to say one of the memorable ones was probably the first guest we had, which was Juliet Prowse: a beautiful lady and talented performer, … She probably took a big chance coming on with a lot of farm animals.’

‘I’ve known Piggy for a number of years — a number of decades, really, though she might not appreciate that candor. But yes, there is a spark for certain, and it is still sparking. Passion, I would say. It’s passion to either extreme.’

‘Keep believing, keep pretending; we’ve done just what we’ve set out to do, thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!’

‘I hope you appreciate that I’m doing all my own stunts.’

‘Me? In love with a pig? Wait ’til I tell the guys in marketing.

Angelina Jolie Quotes Photo By Georges Biard

Here are some of the choice Angelina Jolie quotes.

‘All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what’s sexy or cool or tough.’

‘Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.’

‘I didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry… but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.’

‘I don’t believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don’t judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.’

‘I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s supposed to make me happy.’

‘I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.’

‘I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I’ll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.’

‘I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.’

‘I’d like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don’t have misconceptions – they understand. I believe that.’

‘I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.’

‘People always ask me, ‘Were you funny as a child?’ Well, no, I was an accountant.’

‘I don’t understand the sizes anymore. There’s a size zero, which I didn’t even know that they had. It must stand for: “Ohhh my God, you’re thin.”‘

‘I’m a godmother, that’s a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that’s cute, I taught her that.’

‘I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.’

Batman Quotes Batman Played By Christian Bale (Warner Bros.)

Here are some choice Batman quotes from the Dark Knight:

‘They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I’ve looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge… Me.’

‘You’ll hunt me. You’ll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that’s what needs to happen.’

‘It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.’

‘The first time I stole so that I wouldn’t starve, yes. I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong. And when I traveled, I learned the fear before a crime and the thrill of success. But I never became one of them.’

‘I’m not finished. To all of you, uh, all you phonies, all of you two-faced friends, you sycophantic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me, please leave me in peace. Please go. Stop smiling. It’s not a joke. Please leave. The party’s over. Get out.’

‘Well, you know how it is, Mr Fox. You’re out at night, looking for kicks, someone’s passing around the weaponised hallucinogens.’

‘People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I’m flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be destroyed but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.’

Batman Quotes: The Dark Knight’s Best Lines

Joker’s Quotes Played By Heath Ledger (Warner Bros.)

Here are some choice Joker Quotes from the film The Dark Knight:

‘Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. Hit me!’

‘Come here. Hey! Look at me. So I had a wife. She was beautiful, like you. Who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can’t take it. I just want to see her smile again. I just want her to know that I don’t care about the scars.

So… I stick a razor in my mouth and do this to myself. (Mimics cutting his mouth with a razor.) And you know what? She can’t stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I’m always smiling!’

‘Oh, you. You just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren’t you? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.’

‘I took Gotham’s white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn’t hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!’

‘Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t savour all the… little emotions. In… you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?’

‘If you’re good at something, never do it for free.’

‘Tonight you’re all gonna be part of a social experiment. Through the magic of diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate, I’m ready right now to blow you all sky high. Anyone attempts to get off their boat, you all die. Each of you has a remote… to blow up the other boat. At midnight, I blow you all up. If, however, one of you presses the button, I’ll let that boat live. So, who’s it going to be: Harvey Dent’s most wanted scumbag collection, or the sweet and innocent civilians? You choose… oh, and you might want to decide quickly, because the people on the other boat might not be so noble.’

‘You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength.’

‘Don’t talk like one of them. You’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you. When the chips are down, these… these civilised people, they’ll eat each other. See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.’

Joker’s Quotes: On The Other Side Of Sanity

Anna Wintour Quotes

Here is  a selection of Anna Wintour quotes from those who know her.

‘She would go to the opening of an envelope.’ Vivienne Lasky, childhood friend.

‘Anna happens to be a friend of mine, a fact which is of absolutely no help in coping with the cold panic that grips me whenever we meet.’ Barbara Amiel.

‘Anna’s not someone who takes you in hand. It’s more she throws you in the water and you’ll either sink or swim.‘ Laurie Schecter, former assistant.

‘When I was a media reporter, there were many high-profile editors, and God knows they had big egos, but you could still get them on the phone … Remnick, Carter, Fuller, even Martha Stewart. But Wintour? She just never talked to peons like us … It was beneath her. And all the while I’m thinking, “Who is this skank?” Peter Braunstein.

She plays up this aristocratic, Marie Antoinette ”Let them eat cake” routine, but, excuse me, can I get some proof that she holds a title of nobility that goes back to the 13th century? No. All she does is edit a magazine. That’s it. So what’s with the royalty routine? . . . I mean, for Christ’s sake, the woman slept with Bob Marley, one of the most soulful people ever to walk the face of the earth. If that didn’t spiritualise her, nothing would … Wintour will be escorted by eunuchs to a place in hell run entirely by large rats.‘ Peter Braunstein.

‘At some stage in her career, Anna Wintour stopped being Anna Wintour and became “Anna Wintour”, at which point, like wings of a stately home, she closed off large sections of her personality to the public.‘ Emma Brockes.

‘The notion that Anna would want something done “now” and not “shortly” is accurate.‘ Barbara Amiel.

‘[Her] unwavering ability to look as if she lives within the pages of her magazine has a sort of honesty to it, proof that, whatever one thinks about it, the lifestyle peddled by Vogue is at least physically possible’ Emma Brockes.

‘In a sea of women’s glossies that purport to be about fashion but publish earnest articles chronicling the author’s quest for self-actualization, Vogue stands apart. The voluminous fashion pages are arty, original, and sophisticated, shot by talented photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel.

Most of us read Vogue not with the intention of buying the wildly expensive clothes, but because doing so educates our eye and hones our taste, similar to the way eating gourmet food refines the palate. This is a pleasure enabled by Wintour’s ruthless aesthetic, her refusal to participate in the democratizing tendency of most of her competitors. To deny her that privilege is to deny her readers the privilege of fantasy in the form of beautifully photographed Paris couture.‘ Amanda Fortini.

Simon Cowell Quotes Photo By Jonny At en.wikipedia

Here are some highly amusing Simon Cowell quotes.

‘I met someone the other night who’s 28 years old, and he hasn’t worked a day since he left college because he’s pursuing a dream he’ll never, ever realize: He thinks he’s a great singer. Actually, he’s crap.’

‘I have seen that the American Dream is a reality – and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.’

‘I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.’

‘If you’ve got a big mouth and you’re controversial, you’re going to get attention.’

‘My attitude is, if someone’s going to criticize me, tell me to my face.’

‘Not everybody is perfect, and I don’t think we should be looking for perfect people.’

‘When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum’s house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.’

‘Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you’re in big trouble if you’re borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We’ve got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.’

‘Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator.’

‘If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.’

‘My attitude is, if someone`s going to criticize me, tell me to my face.’

Jim Carrey Quotes Photo By Ian Smith

‘Here are some of the best Jim Carrey Quotes:

‘Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.’

‘Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.’

‘I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.’

‘For some reason I did something where I realised I could get a reaction. That was when I broke out of my shell at school, because I really didn’t have any friends or anything like that and I just kind of was going along, and then finally I did this zany thing, and all of a sudden I had tons of friends.’

‘I don’t care if people think I am an over-actor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an over-painter.’

‘I haven’t been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I’ve been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don’t blow money. I don’t have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I’ve already had that experience.’

‘Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.’

‘I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.’

‘It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?’

‘Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.’

Madonna Quotes Photo By David Shankbone

Here is an interesting selection of Madonna quotes.

‘I have the same goal I’ve had ever since I was a girl. I want to rule the world.’

‘Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep.’

‘To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.’

‘I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God.’

‘I’m anal retentive. I’m a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I’m a control freak. That’s why I’m not married. Who could stand me?’

‘Straight men need to be emasculated. I’m sorry. They all need to be slapped around. Women have been kept down for too long. Every straight guy should have a man’s tongue in his mouth at least once.’

‘I wanted to be a boy when I was growing up because I was in love with all of the male dancers I knew and they were all gay. And I thought, Well, if I was a boy, they’d love me. So I got into role-playing then. That’s where it began. I remember when I was still in high school, I had cut my hair off really short, and I was totally anorexic – I had no boobs – and I would dress like a boy and go to gay clubs and my goal was to trick men into thinking I was a boy.’
