[in reference to Katharine Hepburn`s tie for the 1968 Oscar with Barbra Streisand]: "I wanted to be the first to win three Oscars, but Miss Hepburn has done it. Actually it hasn`t been done. Miss Hepburn only won half an Oscar. If they`d given me half an ...
Bette Davis
Stop talking about it. I`m going to stop calling you a white man. And I`m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. - when asked how to get rid of racism in an interview with Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes" (1968)
Morgan Freeman
[On her Rachel, Rachel (1968) director and husband Paul Newman being snubbed in the Best Director category by the Academy Awards in 1969] "How do you figure it? He even won the New York Film Critics award that year for it, but didn`t get in as one of the ...
Joanne Woodward
The Green Berets (1968) made $7,000,000 in the first three months of its release. This so-called intellectual group aren`t in touch with the American people, regardless of [J. William Fulbright`s] blatting, and Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern and Ted ...
John Wayne
[on Charlton Heston] And I got to really like the guy. A lot of people told me that I wouldn`t like him, but I liked him. And he tried very hard. I mean, Will Penny (1968) is far and away the best thing he`s ever done.
Bruce Dern
Every actor looks all his life for a part that will combine his talents with his personality. The Odd Couple (1968) was mine. That was the plutonium I needed. It all started happening after that.
Walter Matthau
Ridiculous... I don`t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history. - when asked what he thinks of Black History Month on "60 Minutes" (1968)
Morgan Freeman
[on The Green Berets (1968)] When I saw what our boys are going through - hell - and how the morale was holding up, and the job they were doing, I just knew they had to make this picture.
John Wayne
I had the feeling my career was going to decline back in `68. I`d just had a big hit with The Green Berets (1968), but I wasn`t getting any younger and I knew Hellfighters (1968) wasn`t going to set the box office on fire. Then I read a script for a film ...

John Wayne
[after directing The French Connection (1971)] Each picture I`ve done so far has been for different reasons. The Birthday Party (1968), for instance, was purely a labor of love. I wanted to do [Harold Pinter]. Others were to advance my career, to get bett...
William Friedkin
(When asked about her complexion during her "Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In" (1968) days) "I`ve never had a pimple in my whole life - and that`s the truth".
Lily Tomlin
You know, I was hanging out with Sidney Poitier and we were trying to decide if he or I were the better actor. We decided it was me as I convinced the world I could sing. (Freeman debuted on Broadway in 1968 in "Hello, Dolly!")
Morgan Freeman
If one vote per precinct had changed in 1960, John Kennedy would never have been President of this nation. And if a few more people had gone to the polls and voted in 1968, Hubert Humphrey would have been President; Richard Nixon would not. - during his c...
Jimmy Carter
[during her "60 Minutes" (1968) interview in 1992 with her husband by Mike Wallace in response to how she feels about her husband`s infidelity] "I am not going to be some Tammy Wynette "Stand By Your Man..."
Hillary Clinton
[poem, "The Sky", he read on his 1969 "Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In" (1968) appearance] The sky is blue, the grass is green. Get off your ass and join the Marines.
John Wayne
[Regarding getting drug shots before each performance of the 1968 rock musical, "Hair"] At the time it was astonishing to have a job. It was odd. Before the show opened we got a shot by a doctor Bishop. A vitamin shot, only it was not vitamins. It was lik...
Diane Keaton
Sometimes I force myself. In the case of Domicile conjugal (1970) I laid down certain laws for myself. Henri Langlois, who loved Baisers volés (1968), said to me, `Now you have to get Jean-Pierre Léaud and Claude Jade married.`
Francois Truffaut
Well, I think because a lot of people don`t know why I`m a Republican, I came first of all from a socialistic country which is Austria and when I came over here in 1968 with the presidential elections coming up in November, I came over in October, I heard...
Arnold Schwarzenegger
We served on the editorial board of a literary monthly called Face in 1968 and 1969. He was a young writer, and I was also interested in broad cultural issues. We agreed on all major issues and became friends.
Andrew Harrington
We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards.
Christo
(on meeting his teenage crush, Brigitte Bardot, in 1968) I was on acid, and she was on her way out.
John Lennon
