[In 1981]: My acting is a bit like basketball. Most females in my films come off very well. I give great assist. And if I`m lucky, I even score.
Burt Reynolds
I actually turned down Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) to do The Burning (1981) because Jason was running around in Part 2 and as you know, there is no Jason. Jason was a kid that died in the first movie. If you watch a `Friday the 13th` movie past part one...

Tom Savini
[On Orson Welles] He was not an extravagant director. I mean, `Warren Beatty` can spend $60 million making Reds (1981) a half hour too long and it crosses nobody`s lips that that`s too much money.
Charlton Heston
[About the Evil Dead trilogy] For me, the first film was frankly about learning how to act. I can watch [The Evil Dead (1981)] from about halfway on without cringing . . . When Army of Darkness (1992) came around, we decided to make a different type of mo...
Bruce Campbell
A lot of actors didn`t make their start until in their prime - I remember Buster Merryfield - who played Uncle Albert in "Only Fools and Horses" (1981) - saying that it wasn`t until he retired as a bank clerk that he got involved with amateur dramatics, a...
Roger Moore
On being compared to Rekha in the original version of Umrao Jaan (1981): "For me, as an actor, it`s a special experience to get the opportunity to play Umrao Jaan who has been already iconised on our celluloid. When I played Paro in Devdas, I went through...
Aishwarya Rai
I`m so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn`t understand, she had to explain: `That`s like three Mercedes.` Then I understood. (1981)
Brooke Shields
[about Southern Comfort (1981)] It was the hardest movie I ever made as far as being physical. It was cold and freezing in that swamp. [Keith Carradine] and the other ones, they wore wet suits under the clothes, I never wore one. I was miserable, but it w...
Brion James
[Talking about the fight scene with Ox Baker from Escape from New York (1981)]: "I remember Dick Warlock helped set up the fight and he came out with this big purple lump on the side of his head, and all he said to me was `Keep your head down and be caref...
Kurt Russell
[On the film Sharky`s Machine (1981)]: Author Sidney Sheldon first mentioned William Diehl`s novel Sharky`s Machine to me at a party. Soon afterward Clint Eastwood sent me a copy of the same best-selling book with a note saying: "This is Dirty Harry in At...
Burt Reynolds
I was your typical struggling actress. I went to every audition, took a million acting, dancing and singing lessons, and spent years wondering where my next meal was coming from. Recalling her career before 1981.
Cassandra Peterson
You know, when Escape from New York (1981) first came out, a lot of people said, `I don`t quite understand this movie ... is this some kind of comment that, like, New York is a prison?` and years later a lot of people are saying, `You know, New York is lo...
Kurt Russell
After "Dynasty" (1981), I wanted a reality check. I wanted to get in touch with real life, you know? That kind of world is kind of outrageous.
Linda Evans
[Notre Dame University. 17 May, 1981]: The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we`ll ...
Ronald Reagan
[referring to both the film release of "Mommie Dearest" (Mommie Dearest (1981)), the biography of Joan Crawford written by her daughter Christina Crawford, and the equally scathing book about Bette Davis, written by her daughter] Now I know why tigers eat...
Bob Hope
He brought heart and soul to it and a warmth that didn`t exist on the page. - about her co-star John Travolta`s performance in Blow Out (1981).
Nancy Allen
I think American news is pretty tragic in general. I can`t tell the difference between "Entertainment Tonight" (1981) and the news. It`s all about ratings. They are trying to sum it all up pretty quickly and try to act as if they understand it.
Ryan Gosling
[about Red Heat (1988)] I told Walter Hill, "I`ll do a walk-on for you, or a starring role, I don`t care". He made me a film actor. He said, "Fine, now you`re a film actor" in Southern Comfort (1981), and it was one of the best roles I ever had. I told Wa...
Brion James
I wish James Dean would never have died. Then he`d be fat and acting on "Dynasty" (1981) or something. There wouldn`t be this whiny-boy act that`s so prevalent everywhere.
Jane Leeves
I have no plans to write an autobiography, I will leave that to others. I`m sure they will turn me into a homosexual or a Nazi spy or something else. (1981)
Cary Grant
It`s fascinating to me, the shows that I`ve always loved the best, Hill Street Blues" (1981), "Wiseguy," "Twin Peaks" (1990) have always been shows that did have accumulative knowledge. One of the reasons why "The X Files" (1993) started to leave me cold ...
Joss Whedon
Well, I don`t throw things. This particular night I brought one from the floor so to speak, and he ended up getting a cut over his head, and the police came, took him to another side of the hotel, and that was like September 6, 1981.
Tanya Tucker
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.
