I want to be successful. I would like it to be a success with something that doesn`t make me want to vomit all over the screening room after I`ve seen it. (1980s quote)
John Malkovich
(on Hollywood in the 1980s) "We live in a snake pit here...I hate it but I just don`t allow myself to face the fact that I hold it in contempt because it keeps on turning out to be the only place to go."
Orson Welles
[on the dismissal of his KISS band-mates Peter Criss and Ace Frehley in the early 1980s] They were let go for being into alcohol and worse drugs, pure and simple. I love both those guys to death. But I didn`t want them to die on tour.
Gene Simmons
We aren`t the grandfathers of any movement. In the 1980s, the so-called indie film movement was a media creation. What I found irritating is that `independent` became an encomium. If it was independent, it was supposed to be good, and studio films were ba...
Ethan Coen
Macho was a fashionable word in the 1980s. Everybody was kind of into it, what`s macho and what isn`t macho. I really don`t know what macho is. I never have understood. Does it mean somebody who swaggers around exuding testosterone? And kicks the gate ope...
Clint Eastwood
(In the early 1980s, before his sickness was publicly known) " I always consider my job just as someone working in an office. Past 5 P.M., I lead my very own existence far from the cameras. It`s essential for an actor to clearly separate private life from...
Rock Hudson
[speaking in the 1980s] I don`t see many men today. I see a lot of guys running around on television with small waists, but I don`t see many men.
Anthony Quinn
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
The exploitation films were made in such an artless way with these big wide shots of Sunset Boulevard or of Arcadia or downtown L.A. or wherever. In mainstream films, especially in the 1980s, the Los Angeles you saw wasn`t the real one; it was a character...
Quentin Tarantino
When I performed I was thinking, you all look like you should be seeing Phil Collins. Then I thought, hang on, I sound like Phil Collins. So I`ve changed. I`m not comfortable with the mainstream thing. (On his pop sound during the 1980s)
David Bowie
You`ve got a lot of guys who can run 10.2, who can run 20.5 (in the 200), and we take that for granted. What we don`t have are the guys in college who can run sub-10 (seconds) or the numbers that we may have had in the 1980s or early 1990s.
Ashley DeCarlo
Well, our economy is very strong and growing. We have created 5.4 million new jobs in the last 3 years. Our unemployment rate is better than the average unemployment rate of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Amy Sowash
We`ve suffered a war, and one thing we know: Whenever our nation`s faced war, whether it was in the 1980s when we were winning the Cold War or in the 1940s during World War II, the responsible thing to do has been to borrow money to win the war.
Ken Mehlman
We saw in the 1980s the Reagan Revolution break the grip of liberalism on the country. We saw in the 1990s a conservative resurgence in Congress that broke the liberalism there. Now we stand with the opportunity to see the Supreme Court righted.
Tony Perkins
There has been nothing like this since the student-led anti-apartheid movement of the 1980s. We expect... another wave [of students] throughout the summer of 2006, and for as long as it takes to rebuild that region for all the people who need help, who wa...
Kevin Powell
The staff at the Institute will present an analysis on how asset price fluctuations and subsequent structural adjustments influence sustained economic growth, based on Japan`s experience since the second half of the 1980s.
Andrew Groves
The psychic space that Pac-Man grew to occupy in early 1980s popular culture was truly enormous, filling in the vacuum of downtime between "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" and stepping into the breach vacated by Kiss, when all of Am
Chris Green
The problem is that during the 1980s, a decade of heavy poaching, the elephants retreated to safer areas. And now people have moved into the corridors once used by the elephants.
Amy Wyatt
The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
Jack Welch
The 1980s was the last decade of large suburban expansion. The `90s were a re-sorting era, with the central city gaining population after decades of decline. Now we`re in a decade trending toward a fairly large-scale re-sorting of the housing market away ...
Chris Nelson
Right, well I am, I was a career diplomat for 37 years from 1960 until 1997 during the early 1980s from 1981 to 1985 I was the United States Ambassador to Honduras.
Aliza Herzberg
I want to be successful. I would like it to be a success with something that doesn`t make me want to vomit all over the screening room after I`ve seen it. (1980s quote)
