I`m bored with music between 1955 and 1980. I`m completely bored. I can`t listen to a rock and roll record. I can`t do it. I would rather listen to hogs screwing.
Sting
She was a lovely actress and I admired her very much. She was a very delicate and elegant lady. [Remembering her time working with Lillian Gish in The Cobweb (1955)] (2004)
Fay Wray
[on the success of his movie Blackboard Jungle (1955)] "Sure, the reviews were great...but you would`ve thought they`d picked me up out of an ashtray, and made me a star. Hell, I`d already done Shakespeare and Chekhov and all those other cats."
Vic Morrow
I don`t sit around and wait for great parts. I`m an actress, and I love being one, and I`ll probably be doing it till I`m 72, standing around the back lot doing Gunsmoke" (1955)".
Suzanne Pleshette
On his 1962 Oscar-winning role in To Kill A Mockingbird (1955)_: "I put everything I had into it - all my feelings and everything I`d learned in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children. And my feelings about racial justice and inequ...
Gregory Peck
[1955] It seems to be almost impossible to find in this country the type of role which has made actors of the Brando [Marlon Brando] and James Dean style. Mine has I think some affinity which hitherto I have only been able to employ in the theatre.
Dirk Bogarde
[On his $5,000 salary for playing the eponymous lead in Marty (1955), which won him a Best Actor Oscar] "...I would have done it for nothing."
Ernest Borgnine
When I heard Monk in person in 1955, he was playing with a quartet in a small club. The place was full of musicians, but there was no public at all.
Steve Lacy
Rosa Parks was a woman of strength, conviction, and morality. Her action on December 1, 1955, to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation`s civil rights history.
Allan Cribbins
Penn State in 1955 became the first university to be issued a federal license to operate a nuclear reactor, which it continues to use for studies in the peaceful uses of atomic energy and the training of nuclear industry personnel.
Alan Wooley
In 1955, the nation was still largely industrialized, and South Dakota was an agricultural state. A high-school education was a good level of attainment. Now, to be a player in an information economy, people need more education.
Elizabeth Smith
] came out in 1955, my first reviews were puffs. Then Stanley wrote a long, somewhat censorious review in Poetry magazine. He gave me hell about some things. He said good things about my skill, but it was a case of lots of skill but not much self-knowledg...
