[yo 1979 Academy Awards show writer Buz Kohan, after receiving his honorary Oscar] God, I mucked that up. I had no idea what I was saying but I didn`t want to stop.
Laurence Olivier
[His answer on 2 October 1979 to a woman who had just seen a special screening of Luna, La (1979) at the Film Center of the School of the Art Institute, Chicago] I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.
Bernardo Bertolucci
[His answer on 2 October 1979 to a woman who had just seen a special screening of Luna, La (1979) at the Film Center of the School of the Art Institute, Chicago] I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I did a picture I loved called Time After Time (1979), and the people who saw it loved it. We had a big opening in Toronto at the Festival of Festivals - huge - and they gave us a fabulous reception. Great city, Toronto - Mary (Mary Steenburgen) and I lov...
Malcolm McDowell
[about Han Solo, speaking in 1979] He`s not a cardboard character to me at all. He`s as real as anything else. I never thought of the character as having only two dimensions until the critics said so. And they`re wrong. The third dimension is me.
Harrison Ford
[speaking in 1979] "The kind of acting I used to do no longer exists because your prime consideration is the budget, running time, the cost - and whether they`ll understand it in Milwaukee.
Dirk Bogarde
[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
[On his most famous role, 1979]: Funny thing, yesterday morning I found my youngest son and daughter watching the rerun of an old ("The Munsters" (1964)) episode and I said, "My God, THAT`S not still on, is it?" Well, even so, I was very lucky and it was ...
Fred Gwynne
He is a friend I love dearly as perhaps you can only love someone you have both worked with and known personally. It is a double relationship mixed into one. We haven`t worked together for several years and I miss that very much. - Liv Ullmann, 1979Max Sydow
[Talking about Burt Reynolds]: "I have always said Burt`s sensitivity and generosity were in great measure responsible for my Academy Award nomination for Starting Over (1979)".
Candice Bergen
[When asked by co-presenter Ray Bolger at the 1979 Oscar awards why he got to announce the winner] Well, when your son produces the show, YOU can announce the winner!
Jack Haley
[in 1979] You must have - besides intuition and sensitivity - a cutting edge that allows you to reach what you need. Also, you have to know life - bastards included - and it takes a bit of one to know one, don`t you think?
Laurence Olivier
At the Cannes Film Festival in 1979: "We`re on the brink of something new. It will be similar to the invention of the American musical in the thirties. There will be a conceptualized, musical-video product and everyone`s waiting for the first Sergeant Pep...
Pete Townshend
[When asked what his future holds in 1979] "If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I`d choose the directing job."
Ron Howard
[To Bill Takacs (an IMDb biography writer), who in 1979 met him on a flight to New York from Johannesburg, South Africa (he had been performing in nearby Swaziland) and who addressed him as Mr. Evans (his real name)] "Don`t call me Mr. Evans; only my mini...
Chubby Checker
[On Blake Edwards` smash hit 10 (1979)] "I turned down the lead role [in "10"] many, many times. I just didn`t feel I was right for the part."
Peter Sellers
[1979] I`ve known Jane Fonda since she was a little girl. I`ve never agreed with a word she`s said, but would give my life defending her right to say it.
John Wayne
I think I`m on a track of doing pictures nobody wants to do, that they`re all afraid of. I guess it`s the era we live in, where they`re doing remakes of "The Dukes of Hazzard" (1979) and other old television shows. I must say, I`m not a negative person, b...
Clint Eastwood
[1979] Listen, I spoke to the man up there on many occasions and I have what I always had: deep faith that there is a Supreme Being. There has to be, you know; it`s just to me, that`s just a normal thing, to have that kind of faith. The fact that He`s let...
John Wayne
[In 1979 interview] I have worked like a dog all my life, honey. Dancing, as Fred Astaire said, is next to ditch-digging. You sweat and you slave and the audience doesn`t think you have a brain in your head.
Ann Miller
Early, it was Richard Pryor. I did stand-up for 10 years before acting. And the movie Mad Max (1979). It cemented in my mind that I wanted to be an actor. [on his influences to become an actor]
Eric Bana
_AVP: Alien Vs. Predator (2004)_ is not trying to be Alien (1979) or Aliens (1986), and it`s not trying to be Predator (1987). Those are genius movies. The impact that these creatures had on audiences was immense. But 26 years on, and dozens of comic book...
Paul W. S. Anderson
[on presenting the Best Picture Oscar in 1979] Oscar and I have something in common. Oscar first came to the Hollywood scene in 1928. So did I. We`re both a little weatherbeaten, but we`re still here and plan to be around for a whole lot longer.
John Wayne
[yo 1979 Academy Awards show writer Buz Kohan, after receiving his honorary Oscar] God, I mucked that up. I had no idea what I was saying but I didn`t want to stop.
