I`m bored with music between 1955 and 1980. I`m completely bored. I can`t listen to a rock and roll record. I can`t do it. I would rather listen to hogs screwing.
Sting
[On the Oscar Nomination]: I`d shot all night and was staying at the Banff Springs Resort Hotel in Canada, which is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like a castle, but it was built in the 1800s and at 4 o`clock in the morning you think you`re in The Shining ...
Burt Reynolds
[On Raging Bull (1980)]: "[Robert De Niro] wanted to make this film. Not me. I don`t understand anything about boxing. For me, it`s like a physical game of chess."
Martin Scorsese
[1980]: I know what it`s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great.
Ronald Reagan
[speaking about the reshoots of Superman II (1980) after changing directors] It was usually done whenever a set doubled or we had a problem with expensive actors being available. I remember we did many scenes from the Daily Planet, if not all of them, whi...
Christopher Reeve
It was my first movie (Stardust Memories (1980)) and the opportunity of working with Woody Allen. It was a great experience, and I can compare it, in sexual terms, with the lost of virginity.
Sharon Stone
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
[when asked about the reason why Tarantino likes to revive the careers of actors who the show business have written off]: "He grew fond of people. He told me that he loved Pam Grier when he was a kid and I guess he saw Alligator (1980) and The Banker (198...
Robert Forster
[Recalling a period he went through when he was 18]: I watched Raging Bull (1980) like 50 times. I wanted to be Italian. For a year I was Italian; that`s all I did. I could do all that New York street stuff to the point where I would get feedback from my ...
Sam Rockwell
[speaking in 1980] "You read a lot about movies with budgets of $25 to 30 million. Hell, if a studio can piss away that kind of money, why not let `em piss on me?"
Roy Scheider
[on the Oxford-vs.-Cambridge Boat Race] The year was 1980, I was #4 in this particular encounter, and the result was a loss by Cambridge by a distance of five feet, which is something which I will carry to my grave . . . in fact, I shouldn`t really say th...
Hugh Laurie
That`s why I take on a variety of roles. I`ve played everything from a gay dancer in Cruising (1980) to Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club (1984). James Remar is a student of life. I`m expressing myself by acting. I`m learning about myself and making a livi...
James Remar
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
When asked by "People" magazine, Nov. 11, 1996 issue, how the disaster of Heaven`s Gate (1980) affected his life: "It was really a great trauma, as everyone knows. Since then, I`ve been unable to make any movie that I`ve wanted to make. I`ve been making t...
Michael Cimino
Well, we all know about "Yesterday." I have had so much accolade for "Yesterday." That is Paul`s song, of course, and Paul`s baby. Well done. Beautiful - and I never wished I had written it. [From the 1980 Playboy Interviews]
John Lennon
[on making sequels] You know, when you make sequels, they have to be better each time. And you have to spend the money. I remember on Superman II (1980), we once went down to St. Lucia in the Caribbean from Pinewood--took a whole crew to get a shot of Sup...
Christopher Reeve
[regarding his ten-day jail term after his arrest for cannabis possession at Tokyo`s Narita Airport, Jan. 6, 1980] "It was pretty rough. Just a thin mattress on the floor. I had to wash using water from the toilet cistern. I had to share a bath with a blo...
Paul McCartney
Describing the filming of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980): "Mark [Hamill] was off on Dagobah while Harrison [Ford] and I were were getting drunk in Cloud City."
Carrie Fisher
[on the famous fight scene in Superman II (1980)] The Salkinds [producers Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind] wanted to make a splash. Their vision was really big. I remember much of that as being fun. The strong wind blowing the cars around, from the thr...
Christopher Reeve
There`s nothing more uncomfortable than wearing black lingerie. - Talking about the climax of Dressed to Kill (1980).
