Sometimes, I`m so preoccupied you have to drop a bomb to communicate with me and most of the time I only average four hours sleep. I don`t mind. I wanted to work this hard. (Motion Picture, March 1961)
Robert Conrad
[on Michelangelo Antonioni] He`s done two masterpieces, you don`t have to bother with the rest. One is Blowup (1966), which I`ve seen many times, and the other is Notte, La (1961), also a wonderful film, although that`s mostly because of the young Jeanne ...
Ingmar Bergman
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. [On U.S. and Soviet joint scientific ventures, spoken during his inaugural address, 20 January 1961]
John Kennedy
I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. (special address to Congress, May 25, 1961)
John Kennedy
In so many ways I think it`s a bore to be sorry you were a child actor - so many people feel sorry for you automatically. At the time I wasn`t aware of the things I missed so why should I think of them in retrospect? Everybody misses something or other. (...
Natalie Wood
{On directing] "I did it once. It was an ass-breaker. You work yourself to death. You`re the first one up in the morning . . . I mean, we shot that thing [One-Eyed Jacks (1961)] on the run, you know. You make up the dialog the scene before, improvising, a...
Marlon Brando
[On Blue Hawaii (1961)] "In the movie we did a song called the `Hawaiian Wedding Song`. And it was so real that it took me ten years before I realized I wasn`t married to the chick."
Elvis Presley
[On his attitude towards Natalie Wood on the set of West Side Story (1961) and at a later date]: "I think there was a residue of animosity toward Natalie because of that test for Rebel [Without a Cause], and it contributed to our situation. But a few year...
Richard Beymer
In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon ... it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there. [State of the Union address, 30 January, 1961]
John Kennedy
[in April 1961] "Please make sure everyone knows how much their messages mean to me. They have added greatly to my peace of mind. I only wish some of the writers would take a more positive approach to the menace of cancer. I`ve got it, sure; but I`m not a...
Gary Cooper
It just seems so odd, so surreal. I`m still like, `I don`t believe it.` When I saw it flash on the television -- 1961 to 2004 -- I was just like, `I`m not going to try to fight back any more tears. I`m just going to cry.
Antonio Rivero
I think the Civil Rights Movement changed that trajectory for me. The first thing I did was leave school. I was suspended for my participation in Movement demonstrations in my hometown, December, 1961.
Bernice Johnson Reagon
As a kid, I spray-painted my football helmet silver, and when the Lions introduced the blue stripes and Leaping Lion logo in 1961, I thought it was the coolest thing,
Jim Parker
[The red library is Sui`s tribute to fashion maven Diana Vreeland, who served as editor for Harper`s Bazaar (1939-1962) and Vogue (1963-1961).] My most precious collection is my bound Vogue magazines, ... and they`re kind of like my Bible. I look at them ...
Andy Yakulis
He was a wonderful, forthright and honorable man. - Following the death of Gary Cooper in 1961
