They`ve been running Deer Hunter like crazy on Bravo. And here is the whole goddamned Congress singing `God Bless America` on the steps of the US Capitol. I said, `Holy shit, this is the ending of the movie.` (on The Deer Hunter (1978) in hindsight, post-...
Michael Cimino
[interview in 1978] I want to believe in something inspirational, that has courage, that you can hang your hat on a star. And you can`t in the restricted films of today. It`s too blatant. There`s nothing courageous or inspirational about them. I just don`...
Esther Ralston
In 1978: "I`m looking forward to bigger parts in the future, but I`m not doing soft-core scripts where the character emerges in half-light, half-dressed."
Meryl Streep
Upon accepting her Oscar for "Julia," 1978: "My dear colleagues, I thank you very very much for this tribute to my work. I think that Jane Fonda and I have done the best work of our lives, and I salute you and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should ...
Vanessa Redgrave
[On meeting Pope John Paul II at the White House in 1978] "He impressed me more than any other man I`ve ever met, and I`ve met a lot. My wife and I happened to be seated on one of the aisles, and the Pope came right down and he saw me and smiled. The smil...
Gregory Peck
I was raised around heterosexuals, as all heterosexuals are. That`s where us gay people come from - you heterosexuals. - during her interview on "20/20" (1978).
Ellen DeGeneres
My parents were as much under the thumb of everyone else [and the network, and all the people that are part of the Hollywood machine] as I was. I have worked on episodes of Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) 15 hours straight. And everyone was looking the other wa...
Gary Coleman
[speaking in 1978] "I guess I go overboard to avoid taking credit for the image I have. That`s why it`s easier to live with myself. I don`t feel I`m totally a man of integrity."
Henry Fonda
[On The Boys from Brazil (1978)] "I felt, Laurence Olivier felt, friends of mine like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon felt, that I was good in this part. Some critics seem unwilling to accept actors when they break what they think is the mold or the image....
Gregory Peck
[On the Academy Awards circa 1978] I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don`t think they know what they`re doing. When you see who wins those things -- or who doesn`t win them -- you can see how meaningless this Oscar thing is.
Woody Allen
I did my first job as an actor and my first role was in 1978 in Rome. I did a play with an Italian actor named Victor Cavallo who worked with Bernardo Bertolucci. After that I was very much a part of the New York performance art and underground theater an...
Vincent Gallo
I remember her as gracious and beautiful. She had stature, but it didn`t make her inaccessible. She wasn`t somebody you`d poke and tell a dirty joke to, but she gave off a real feeling of warmth.--actress Eve Plumb, who costarred with Garson in the 1978 T...
Greer Garson
One`s a born liar, the other`s convicted. Martin in 1978 about Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner. The remark got him fired as the Yankees manager.
Billy Martin
[On the death of "Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) co-star Dana Plato] "It`s very unfortunate that Dana is no longer with us - she was a wonderful woman, but her death was a welcome, though sad piece of closure to "Diff`rent Strokes". The possibility of a reunio...
Gary Coleman
I was working as a set photographer on De Laurentiis` The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966). Director John Huston had seen a photo of me and said, `That`s the face I want.` (November 27, 1978)
Franco Nero
I don`t particularly like to do anything dangerous. And here I was in Bangkok (filming The Deer Hunter (1978)). I was in the jungle and in the mountains. Being an actor has taken me places that I never would have gone to . . . It`s been a very interesting...
Christopher Walken
I missed life in the 1960s, so it has always been a dream of mine to live in a trailer and experience life on the road. A few years ago, I bought a 27-foot, 1978 Airstream from the Recycler in Atlanta. My boyfriend at the time and I shipped our belongings...
Jamie Luner
I`m a horror-movie fan: Halloween (1978), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Friday the 13th (1980)--I freak myself out sometimes when I`m home alone.
Carrie Underwood
[On the Academy Awards circa 1978] They`re political and bought and negotiated for - although many worthy people have deservedly won - and the whole concept of awards is silly. I cannot abide by the judgment of other people, because if you accept it when ...
Woody Allen
[On receiving the script for "The Incredible Hulk" (1978) pilot] I didn`t even like the title. I wanted to make fun of it because of its name. I told my agent, "You`ve got to be kidding!" when he suggested I might be interested in it. He said, "Read it!" ...
Bill Bixby
[on the weight training he did for Superman (1978)] I actually thought I was in pretty good shape before, but by the time we were done, I felt like I was ready to take on Muhammad Ali!
Christopher Reeve
It kind of creeps up on you, in a world that`s, y`know, none that anyone will ever know, except someone that has been there. [on her drug abuse during her ABC "20/20" (1978) interview in the early 1980s]
Gia Carangi
When Diff`rent Strokes" (1978) got canceled, I was enormously thrilled and was very much looking forward to starting the rest of my life."
Gary Coleman
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don`t think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they`re diff...
Sam Rockwell
Being 51 years old and having 10 children - the youngest is thirteen months (March 1978) - creates the economic necessity that forces me into all those big budget movies in which I often don`t have a single realistic line.
Robert Shaw
[When asked what he thought about the John Holmes porn trial] "You know, someone once asked me that and I said the day that Laurence Olivier drops his pants on the screen is the day that I will support adult actors, and then I saw the movie The Betsy (197...
Gregory Peck
I turned into my own worst enemy. - Peppard said about his drinking after ex-wife Elizabeth Ashley wrote about it in her 1978 autobiography.
George Peppard
While promoting the film Pretty Baby (1978), 12-year old Brooke was asked, "What does good in bed mean?" Brooke cheekily replied; "When I`m sick and stay home from school watching TV and my mom brings me soup - that`s good in bed."
Brooke Shields
