[1970 comment on Jean Renoir] He`s my style. Renoir`s good for actors. Renoir obviously loves actors and understands actors, and "La Grande Illusion," which I saw recently, is so modern that it could have been made this year -- the acting and the staging ...
James Mason
If you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that one day we would become Communist. (speaking to students at the University of Michigan in 1970)
Jane Fonda
At one point I would have liked the role of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights (1970). Then I saw it done by Laurence Olivier on television and he was so good that I decided to forget about it.
Oliver Reed
[On people comparing him to "Oscar Madison" from "The Odd Couple" (1970)]: People think I`m like Oscar. When they find out I`m not, they seem disappointed.
Jack Klugman
Performance (1970) gave me doubts about my way of life. Before that I had been completely involved in the more bawdy side of the film business. But after that everything changed.
James Fox
I`ve thought about retiring for years now. When I did "Play Misty for Me" in 1970, I thought that if I could pull this off maybe I could step behind the camera, and it would be time to see the end of me. Every year I have threatened to do that - and here ...
Clint Eastwood
1970 Honorary Oscar acceptance speech: "You know that I may never look at this without remembering the quiet patience of directors who were so kind to me, who were kind enough to put up with me more than once, some of them even three or four times. I trus...
Cary Grant
That Redford [Robert Redford] fellow is good. Brando [Marlon Brando]. Ah, Patton (1970) - George C. Scott. But the best of the bunch is Garner - James Garner. He can play anything. Comedy westerns, drama - you name it. Yeah, I have to say Garner is the be...
John Wayne
[on starring in "Full House" (1987)] "The whole time I was on it, I wished I was on another show, I`m not gonna lie to you. But I look back on it fondly, and I`m proud of it. Was it "Seinfeld" (1990), "Friends" (1994), "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970)? No. Was i...
John Stamos
Not that I`m a complete whore, understand. There are movies I won`t do for any amount. I turned down Patton (1970) and I turned down Dirty Harry (1971). Movies that piss on the world. If I`ve got five bucks in my pocket, I don`t need to make money that f*...
Robert Mitchum
I think I get a very unfortunate view of the press. I think of what is written about me, about 5% of it is accurate. I`m not comfortable with them, they`re not comfortable with me. I certainly am not comfortable with photographers. -1970`s
[Talking abo...
Paul Newman
I was a model from Abercromibe & Fitch. Then, I got a role on All My Children" (1970). Now, I`m happier than I`ve ever been". Interview, 2004
Justin Bruening
[Asked to recite his character`s history on "All My Children" (1970)] "I`ve been shot at like four times. Hit once. My wife got shot and donated her heart to another person and she came back as a ghost. I flew to Chechnya to save somebody in the war. I be...
Cameron Mathison
[his speech at The 42nd Annual Academy Awards (1970) (TV)] Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, I`m no stranger to this podium. I`ve come up here and picked up these beautiful golden men before, but always for friends. One night I picked up two: one for Admiral Joh...
John Wayne
I don`t think there`s any question that the Communists are behind a great deal of unrest in the United States. In addition, I feel they are still a potential danger in show business. (1970)
Jimmy Stewart
The subtlest comedy you can get right now is MASH (1970). They don`t want to see a picture unless Peter Fonda is running over a dozen people or unless Clint Eastwood has got a machine gun bigger then 140 penises. It gets bigger all the time, you know; it ...
Billy Wilder
[his acceptance speech from the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Awards] "When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So ev...
Elvis Presley
[on Zabriskie Point (1970)] It was the worst fucking - and I have to curse because there is no other way that I can express myself - picture that I ever saw. I got so angry about it. I was in love with a girl. We went to the movie and it ended the whole a...
James Caan
I`m ambivalent about Patton (1970). I`m kind of a half-assed pacifist and I must tell you, you know, your philosophy is as strong as your feelings on a particular day. If you`re feeling good and you`ve accomplished something, you can back your philosophie...
Rod Steiger
I`ll always remember this image of being in line to see When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970), and all the younger kids were like, `Dinosaurs are so cool!` and all the older kids were like, `Oh, man, I hear there`s this really hot babe in this movie!`
Tim Burton
It`s terrible. Every six weeks it`s Christmas. In Catch-22 (1970), the hero says, "Time is going by so fast, I have to make my life more boring." That`s what I`ve got to do, because my life is so interesting and I enjoy myself so much, I`ve got to make it...
Michael Caine
I realized one morning that Trog (1970) was going to be my last picture. I had to be up early for the shoot and when I looked outside at the beautiful morning sky I felt that it was time to say goodbye. I think that may have been a prophetic thought becau...
Joan Crawford
One good thing about the bad movies is that people don`t remember them. Nobody ever comes up to me and says, `I hated you in I Walk the Line (1970)!`.
Gregory Peck
[in 1970] My humor was never cruel or cynical. I just took life and poked fun at it. We made it so it could be understood the world over, without language barriers. We seem to have conquered the time barrier, too.
Harold Lloyd
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
(on making the transition from the comedy "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970) to its dramatic spin-off series "Lou Grant" (1977)] We were really worried about changing over from a three-camera half-hour comedy to a one-camera full-hour drama. The audience wasn`t re...
