I got into acting by a complete fluke. I was 17 and it was like, `I don`t wanna go to high school, what will I do? I don`t know. Let`s see... I`ll act!` So I was doing films before I had even taken an acting class.
Sherilyn Fenn
I learned years ago, I adore acting and I think it`s the most alive I know how to be -- almost -- but I really want a good life. I`ve been married for 17 years -- I know, they call us the last couple. I have a 13-year-old daughter. I have a lovely home li...
Kathleen Turner
I was only 17 when I did my nude scenes in Paradise (1982). They were serious and more difficult because they were not easily justified. But the topless scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) was funny, which made it easy.
Phoebe Cates
He`s a precious man. He`s got a lot of bad press lately but I think he`s out to try to save the world, not destroy it (Commenting on Cat Stevens` (Yusuf Islam`s) deportation from the United States in September 2004 (Source - "The Daily Show" (1996) Octobe...
Dolly Parton
I love the stage, but after a few months you can get tired. I would rather do three movies than play in one stage hit. I played in four flops in a row when I was about 17 and I was delighted. I was being paid to be trained.
Montgomery Clift
On her `chocolate is better than sex` quote: "I was interviewed when I was 17 and I didn`t actually say that. It was the worst piece of journalism that I`ve ever been involved with."
Alicia Silverstone
Years from now, when you talk about this -- and you will -- be kind. --DK, her famous last line as she is about to bed a 17-year-old schoolboy in the play and film version of "Tea and Sympathy"
Deborah Kerr
(re: The American Motion Pictures Association`s rating for Freddy Got Fingered (2001)): "They slammed us with an NC-17 rating. That`s like, Porn - with Murder".
Tom Green
The first job I ever did was Equus on stage, as the boy, and I was 17, and we opened the show with me naked in the spotlight being examined by doctors. That was my entrance to the stage, so anything after that was easy. Also, for some reason, nudity was n...
James Purefoy
[Notre Dame University. 17 May, 1981]: The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we`ll ...
Ronald Reagan
My dad was one of the first guys on the block to have a VCR. So along with all the videotapes that I would rummage through, I would find porno movies. Not that it twisted me into some maniac or anything. I was watching porno from age 10 to 17. I had an in...
Paul Anderson
I just went with my gut feeling and thought that if I care this much about what I`m doing, then maybe there are opportunities elsewhere and I`d be stupid not to give it a try. (when asked about moving from Montreal to L.A. at 17)
Elisha Cuthbert
[On being an uncle] My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn`t understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleepi...
Johnny Depp
It was so funny cause like the first time they gave me a gun to shoot they were like `Do you know how to shoot this?` And I`m like, `Yeah, my dad taught me when I was 17`. And they`re like `What!?` Ya know? So this character is so much like me that it`s a...
Tiffani Thiessen
I`ve had to struggle with my weight since I was 17. There`s a lot of added pressure because I work with so many beautiful, thin people, and I`ve been asked to lose weight before by producers. It really hurts but that`s part of what this business is about....
Tiffani Thiessen
When I was 17, for my first job, I worked at the midtown Howard Johnson`s. A customer asked me what our ice-cream flavor of the week was, which was a dumb question, because there was a huge banner showing that it was maple. So I told him that it was chick...
Mike Nichols
[on British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Washington, D.C., May 17, 2007] My relationship with this good man is where I`ve been focused, and that`s where my concentration is. And I don`t regret any other aspect of it. And so I--we filled a lot of space toget...
George W. Bush
When I got a lap dance, because I was 17, they had to put a massive pillow between me and the girl when she was grinding me. It was weird, yet pleasurable. In reference to working on the film _Girl Next Door, The (2004)_.
Emile Hirsch
Josh Schwartz likes to dress me up. It`s uncomfortable being in that Little Miss Vixen outfit for 17 hours, but it`s fun as long as you can make fun of yourself. That`s key.
Rachel Bilson
I was pretty uninterested in acting until I was about 17. I wanted to go to university and never think about acting again. I`d been very politically involved for a couple of years and I wanted a break, so I did The Sweet Hereafter (1997) in 1997. But I en...
Sarah Polley
I`m certainly not an expert, but Tim and I just celebrated 17 years together, which in Hollywood years I think is 45. I think the key is just focusing on this one person and not keeping one eye on the door to see who might be better.
Susan Sarandon
I had been under contract for so long to make other `Annie` movies that never happened. So by the time I was 16 or 17, and my contract was officially up and I could do other things, then it was kind of past the point. It was kind of like, `Who are you aga...
Aileen Quinn
In an Indian film that I did when I was 17 years old, and that`s how I got into acting. I was living in Maryland, and some Indians came to Washington DC looking for a blonde kid to appear in an Indian film. It was like a Romeo and Juliet love story betwee...
Thomas Jane
At 17 I had a house cleaning business with my mom called Have Broom Will Travel. We would ride bikes from job to job. I learned that I`m a darn good duster. My defining moment: I was cleaning the bathroom of two girls I went to school with after they had ...
Gabrielle Miller
You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I`m a normal person. Just because I`m in the spotlight doesn`t mean I`m God`s gift to the world. I`m learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.
Hayden Panettiere
You made it something special. Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times.
Michael Irvin
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22)
