[during filming of Star Wars (1977)]: Apart from the money, I regret having embarked on the film. I like them well enough, but it`s not an acting job, the dialogue - which is lamentable - keeps being changed and only slightly improved, and I find myself o...
Alec Guinness
Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it. (1977)
Iggy Pop
I came to film school in 1977 when directors like Fassbinder and Wenders were everybody`s heroes. But it was also the time that Star Wars and Close Encounters came out, and these were the seminal movies for me. Everybody is always so careful about these t...
Roland Emmerich
[on John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever (1977)] He`s not a dancer. What he did in those dance scenes was very attractive but he is basically not a dancer. I was dancing like that years ago, you know. Disco is just jitterbug.
Fred Astaire
[1977 comment on Robert Aldrich] A very good director. Beyond that, he has one fault: he is inflexible. He`s horrified if you give him ideas; he only appreciates his own. He wants to use his own brain for everything. That`s his greatest fault. If he wasn`...
Charles Bronson
I think in my 40s, right around the time of The Turning Point (1977), that I began to address myself more to the future. See, I wasn`t afraid of getting old, because I never had the problems the other actresses my age had. I was never a great beauty. I wa...
Shirley MacLaine
[his response (in 1979) to an indication that he shared the spotlight with Star Wars (1977) villain Darth Vader, played by David Prowse, another muscle-bound actor] Anybody could play Darth Vader. Vader is basically just a big guy behind a costume. The ch...
Lou Ferrigno
After filming The Deep (1977), all they talked about was my tits for the next four years. God, if I was going to do a picture like that, I`d have done it a lot sexier. That looked like two fried eggs on a platter.
Jacqueline Bisset
Describing working with Harrison Ford on the original Star Wars (1977): Mark was 24, I was 19 and he [Harrison] was 33. He was like the big man on campus. You looked at him and you said to yourself, `He`s going to be a star.`
Carrie Fisher
I wanted to develop the idea of the Three Mothers, the origin of all sorrow and pain. Suspiria (1977) is about The Mother of Sighs; and Inferno (1980) is about the Mother of Darkness.
Dario Argento
[after he heard that Smokey and the Bandit (1977) was the favourite film of director Alfred Hitchcock]: I have had people who were very intellectual and my heroes, that have quietly said to me, "I loved Smokey and the Bandit!" And I said, "It`s alright be...
Burt Reynolds
[on Elvis Presley`s death in 1977] There have been many accolades uttered about his talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree to wholeheartedly, I shall miss him dearly as a friend.
Frank Sinatra
People are curious about my ability to perform. They don`t know what I`m capable of doing. I have to work harder and it`s more of a challenge winning people over - commenting on her disco endeavor (April, 1977).
Marilyn Chambers
I was already 35 years old, and I`d been in show business for 30-plus years, and suddenly there was this big movie and I was getting an Oscar, and this enormous thing happened," he says. "In Annie Hall (1977), I played the strange brother who wanted to dr...
Christopher Walken
The sensibility of the film-maker infuses the project so people see a picture like Annie Hall (1977) and everyone thinks it`s so autobiographical. But I was not from Coney Island, I was not born under a Ferris wheel, my father never worked at a place that...
Woody Allen
[On how much he disliked working on Star Wars (1977) and his attempts to encourage George Lucas to kill off Obi-Wan Kenobi]: And he agreed with me. What I didn`t tell him was that I just couldn`t go on speaking those bloody awful, banal lines. I`d had eno...
Alec Guinness
Explaining why gaffer`s tape was sometimes used under her Princess Leia costume in Star Wars (1977): "As we all know, there is no underwear in space."
Carrie Fisher
The script is what you`ve dreamed up-this is what it should be. The film is what you end up with.
I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God`s bidding.
On the making of Star Wars (1977): When you`re directing, you have to get up a...
George Lucas
[Asked if Star Wars (1977) had made him a fortune]: Yes, blessed be "Star Wars". But two-thirds of that went to the Inland Revenue and a sizable sum on VAT. No complaints. Let me leave it by saying I can live for the rest of my life in the reasonably mode...
Alec Guinness
As much as I love Star Wars (1977) and as much as it`s really revolutionized the imaging business, it went off the rails in the sense that science fiction, historically, was a science fiction of ideas. It was thematic fiction. It stopped being that and be...
James Cameron
In 1994 interview about "CHiPs" (1977): "We never drew guns on our show. Ours was a more informational type of show with a lot of kids in it. It was a totally different show than what they do today."
Erik Estrada
[while considering doing Star Wars (1977)]: Science fiction - which gives me pause - but it is to be directed by George Lucas, who did American Graffiti (1973), which makes me think I should. Big part. Fairytale rubbish, but could be interesting.
