[Challenging MGM bosses in the 1930s] "Why does every black person in the movies have to play a servant? How about a black person walking up the steps of a court house carrying a briefcase?"
Myrna Loy
On preparing for her role in Water (2005): "Deepa gave us all plenty to read about the state of widows, not only in the 1930s but also today. But I also knew I had to something more. I decided to go to India, and look at how the widows lived in rural area...

[regarding his short-term membership in the Communist party in the 1930s]: "I went to about five or six meetings. When I got bored at home I`d go to a meeting."
Marc Lawrence
[speaking in in the 1930s] I`ve never had a single close intimate girlfriend in all my life. I never had a chum to whom I could confide my secrets. I suppose that accounts for the fact that now it is so painfully difficult for me to open my heart and conf...
Jean Arthur
When I started out in the early 1930s, there were a great many magazines that published short stories. Unfortunately, the short-story market has dwindled to almost nothing.
Alexis Redmond
There won`t be any changes until we have another depression like in the 1930s, which we have not approached yet in the present recession.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
The way unions are presently structured is often anachronistic. They don`t want to recognize that the world has moved on. Management isn`t treating employees like they were in the 1930s or `40s.
Rick Berman
The truth was the old bleachers were really not a very good situation for someone in a wheelchair. When you build something in the 1930s, it wasn`t built to accommodate wheelchairs.
Andy Melin
The generous way of putting it is that we were not ready for this. The less generous way is to say: How was it possible to return to the politics of appeasement of the 1930s?
Amos Bronson Alcott
It`s back to about the 1930s as far as bankruptcies in the farm community, I think, and I think we`ll see more and more of that in the next year.
Bill Grant
It was not possible to film in California, because all the areas are heavily built up now. Coming to Cape Town is an invitation to step into the past and recreate Los Angeles of the 1930s.
Robert Towne
In fact, he was all for it. Back in the 1930s, he tried to join a Marine aviation unit himself. He wanted to be in a combat unit so bad. Of course the Army Air Corps was angry about that, and that`s how he got his first bad fitness report.
Barbara Bone
If you`ve got unemployment, low pay, that was just too bad. But that was the system. That was the sort of economy and philosophy against which I was fighting in the 1930s.
Al Hershey
I lived for four years in the 1930s with these individuals and the only time that I wasn`t thinking about dealing with physical suffering is when I was working on this book. I`ve never been more alive as when I worked on this book.
Laura Hillenbrand
I know some things when I start. I know, let`s say, that the play is going to be a 1970s or a 1930s play, and it`s going to be about a piano, but that`s it. I slowly discover who the characters are as I go along.
August Wilson
At the same time it offered the hope, as it still does, that improved understanding could better the lot of mankind. For me, growing up in the 1930s, the two motivations powerfully reinforced each other.
Alfredo Martinez
[But if Boyden grew up canoeing across cold-water lakes and tramping through the birch forests with his relatives, no one ever explained their connection. His parents were raised during the 1930s when native heritage was considered shameful and many mixed...
