[on Deliverance (1972) author/co-star James Dickey]: "He`s the kind of man that, after he has had 4 martinis, makes you want to drop a grenade down his throat."
Burt Reynolds
About her role on "Maude" (1972): "If the producers needed information in a scene, my character was the one to do it. What I didn`t know is that when I said those things, I was usually walking down a flight of stairs and no one was even listening to me. T...
Adrienne Barbeau
[on What`s Up, Doc? (1972)] I was petrified of [Barbra Streisand] when I did "What`s Up, Doc?". It was my first movie and every single thing about it was new. I was petrified of the palm trees!
Madeline Kahn
[On the impact of The Godfather (1972)] "I`d gotten to know quite a few mafiosi, and all of them told me they loved the picture because I had played the Godfather with dignity. Even today I can`t pay a check in Little Italy."
Marlon Brando
You leave this jungle now and you`ll find eight bullets in you and the ninth one will be for me - to Klaus Kinski on the set of Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (1972) (aka Aguirre: The Wrath of God).
Werner Herzog
(On joining the cast of "M*A*S*H" (1972)): "I began to sweat at the [thought] that if this show fails in the fourth season, I`m going to wear it around my neck for the rest of my life: the guy who sank "M*A*S*H" (1972).
Mike Farrell
(On joining the cast of "M*A*S*H" (1972)): "I began to sweat at the [thought] that if this show fails in the fourth season, I`m going to wear it around my neck for the rest of my life: the guy who sank "M*A*S*H" (1972).
Mike Farrell
[On the failure of his experimental educational/variety show, "Cos" (1976)] My first series ["I Spy" (1965)] ran three years, my second ["The Bill Cosby Show" (1969)] ran two years and my third ["The New Bill Cosby Show" (1972)] ran one. This show, if I`m...
Bill Cosby
On the final episode of "M*A*S*H" (1972): "It was one of the hardest things I`ve ever done as an actor, because there were times when it wasn`t appropriate to be crying".
Mike Farrell
The benefits from stardom as Klinger outweigh any setbacks. It`s a double-edged sword. What makes you famous is what interferes with getting other roles. But there are things that never would have happened without M*A*S*H" (1972). There certainly would be...
Jamie Farr
[On being voted "Italian of the Year" in New York twice, after his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather (1972)]: I`m a Jew from the Bronx. I feel guilty about accepting these awards, but they wouldn`t let me turn them down.
James Caan
I stopped appearing as Dracula in 1972 because in my opinion the presentation of the character had deteriorated to such an extent, particularly bringing him into the contemporary day and age, that it really no longer had any meaning.
Christopher Lee
[on being confused with his character from The Godfather (1972)] I`ll bump into a guy in a bar, and he`ll say, "I`m sorry, Sonny!" It`s surreal.
James Caan
[1972 comment on Paul Newman] Paul is the most generous man with whom I`ve ever worked. We had a fantastic rapport shooting "Butch Cassidy." It was one of the happiest experiences of my life.
Robert Redford
[on the rape scene of Deliverance (1972) (from the book "My Life" published by Hyperion.)]: The day before we shot the scene I noticed McKinney hovering beside Ned (Ned Beatty) and sat down between them. I wanted him to see I was Ned`s friend. No differen...
Burt Reynolds
When I was a kid I saw Kansas City Bomber (1972), and I remembered thinking how beautiful and how strong Raquel Welch`s character was. So I went home and dressed up my Barbie like her character. I borrowed one of my brother`s little toy plastic football h...
Sherilyn Fenn
[On his unforgettable role in The Godfather (1972)] "I went home and did some rehearsing to satisfy my curiosity about whether I could play an Italian. I put on some makeup, stuffed Kleenex in my cheeks and worked out the characterization first in front o...
Marlon Brando
[at a 1972 press conference in Madison Square Garden] "Man, I was tame compared to what they do now, are you kidding? All that I ever did was just jiggle."
Elvis Presley
[1972 comment on Liza Minnelli] I`m annoyed when people keep comparing her to her mother [Judy Garland]. She`s nothing to do with her mother. She`s a completely different woman. The film "Cabaret" is a great hit for her and that`s all one wants.
Marlene Dietrich
[In response to Ingmar Bergman`s contention that Ultimo tango a Parigi (1972) (US title: "Last Tango in Paris") was really about homosexuals, and only in those terms did the film make sense and become interesting] I accept all interpretations of my films....
Bernardo Bertolucci
You cannot make a film like this without integrity. To make the audiences believe in you, you must believe utterly in what you are doing. - (1972)
Peter Cushing
[advice to actor Bruce Davison, on the set of Ulzana`s Raid (1972)] You try to please the director, and the cameraman and the soundman, and you`re acting and acting and acting and by the time you come to your close-up, you`ve shot your wad. It`s like maki...
Burt Lancaster
[on Bill McKinney, with whom he worked in the drama Deliverance (1972) (from the book "My Life" published by Hyperion.)]: I thought the other guy, Bill McKinney, was a little bent. I used to get up at five in the morning and see him running nude through t...
Burt Reynolds
About his father taking on the role of Marlon Brando in _Sarkar (2005)_: "Please don`t compare my father with Brando. It belittles both the actors who are big in their own fields. Even if my father plays _The Godfather (1972)_, he`ll do so in his own way....
Abhishek Bachchan
[on working with Paul Newman on Pocket Money (1972)] I remember "Pocket Money." At the beginning, it was understood that Newman and I would earn the same amount and have roles of equal importance. Well, I`ve never seen a situation so much reversed. It was...
Lee Marvin
Women`s sports is still in its infancy. The beginning of women`s sports in the United States started in 1972, with the passage of Title 9 for girls to finally get athletic scholarships.
