The great thing about that job was I lived in Spain for five months. That part of it was great, but it was a terrible movie! - On one of his first films, Solarbabies (1986).
James LeGros
The versions of The Dead Zone (1983) and The Fly (1986) that you find on video carry my name, and they are the films that I made, but I hate the way they look on tape. Too bright.
David Cronenberg
On her love scene with Bill Pullman in Mr. Wrong (1996): "It`s a combination of Something Wild (1986), After Hours (1985) and Mary Poppins (1964)....if Mary Poppins were naked."
Ellen DeGeneres
[in a 1986 interview] Hollywood is a weird place. The film industry has changed. Business is bad. Directors are treated like bums now. This is a bad time for creative people. Hollywood is a mean place to work.
John Carpenter
I`d never smoked but Oliver wanted me to smoke in the film. `Better start early,` he said. `That way you won`t be sick when we`re shooting.` So I did. And now I find it hard to stop. I guess you pay a price for everything. (LA Times December 1986)
Charlie Sheen
In a 1986 interview, he explained the origin of his "respect" trademark: "I had this joke: `I played hide and seek; they wouldn`t even look for me.` To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: I was so poor, I was so dumb, so thi...
Rodney Dangerfield
[1986 comment on Robert De Niro] He is a method actor. I think it would be fair to say he`s much slower than I am. As a man, Bob dislikes making a decision. And acting is a whole line of decisions. You make a decision every time you play a line -- do I sa...
Jeremy Irons
[on "The Ball Room Dance" scene, her favorite from Labyrinth (1986)]: I wore a beautiful silver ball gown, which was a refreshing change from the blue jeans I wore in almost every other scene. It was really a gorgeous set, with masses of huge chandeliers ...
Jennifer Connelly
[on why he thinks he would have regretted winning the James Bond role in 1986] It`s a role better suited to someone who is in his 40s, old enough to have the confidence and the sophistication and strength to be able to stand there and just let the moment ...
Pierce Brosnan
[from a 1990 interview] None of the stuff I`ve done will ever cure cancer. It`s entertainment and some of it has been better entertainment than others. Ghost (1990) is a good little movie, like Jumpin` Jack Flash (1986), which I`ve changed my mind about a...
Whoopi Goldberg
[talking on the phone with David Lynch after reading the Blue Velvet (1986) script] David, you have to let me play Frank because I am Frank.
Dennis Hopper
[on Quentin Tarantino doing his Top Gun (1986) speech in the film Sleep with Me (1994)] Important lesson learned. Intellectual properties can be taken from you if you put them in the air. Result is to never speak to anyone else ever again and withdraw fro...
Roger Avary
[As to why he didn`t rejoin The Monkees when Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones re-formed the group, c. 1986] "It would be kind of like Ronald Reagan making another movie."
Michael Nesmith
It`s related to acting really. I wish I had his career. I remember being in "Remington Steele" (1982) and seeing Bruce Willis go out there and just do it. I thought, "He`s making movies and I`m still here". I just remember that. I remember, ironically, in...
Pierce Brosnan
You have to do the research. If you don`t know about something, then you ask the right people who do. With She`s Gotta Have It (1986), I don`t think I got any revelation; it was just good to hear the women whom I interviewed confirm what I thought already...
Spike Lee
[on his close friend Jay Leno in 1986] "`Jay`s a master at getting the audience on his side. He`s able to communicate the idea that `Shouldn`t we, as a group, think this is absurd?` You immediately feel like he`s your ally".
David Letterman
During an appearance in 1986 on CNN`s Crossfire: The biggest threat to America today is not Communism. It`s the turning of this country into a Fascist Theocracy and everything that`s happened during the Reagan Administration has put us right down that pip...
Frank Zappa
I was working on The Lost Boys (1987) when I smoked my first joint. But a year before that, I was starting to drink beer on the set of the film Lucas (1986). I lived in Los Angeles in the `80s, which was not the best place to be. I did cocaine for about a...
Corey Haim
[On his role in Galaxy Quest (1999)]:That part is kind of an homage to Bill Paxton in Aliens (1986). I definitely stole some moves from my buddy [actor] Steve Zahn and Bill Murray`s lounge singer character from "Saturday Night Live" (1975) is in there som...
Sam Rockwell
[on the making of Highlander (1986)] For the scene we did in the church there could have been a wonderful dialogue - "God, this doesn`t compare to the Greek Orthodox Church," or "I liked it better when they did it in Latin," or any type of thing. There`s ...
Clancy Brown
I`m a big fan of Gary Oldman - Sid and Nancy (1986), Dracula (1992), Immortal Beloved (1994) - I`ve watched every film he`s ever done. I`d also love to work with some of the old school greats like Mike Nichols and Steven Spielberg. And I think Gus Van San...
Clifton Collins, Jr.
[quoted from Brian Lanker`s book "I Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America", New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1986)] My own people didn`t see me as a performer because they were busy trying to make a living and feed themselves. Unti...
Lena Horne
_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
It is psychologically unsettling. But I think we`ve made something more sophisticated than just a slasher movie, because of the family drama in it. The Fly (1986) could have been something else (meaning a cheap monster movie). But I think we raised that t...
Jeff Goldblum
I got skewered through the chest after uttering about three words. Tony Goldwyn -- referring to his inauspicious film debut in _Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)_.
Tony Goldwyn
We started giving presentations at practitioner conferences in 1986, and since then all of our derivatives research has been stimulated by contact with practitioners.
Alison Macpherson
We had a poster of the Davis Cup in 1986. It was in Prague, the Czech Republic against Sweden, and we went to watch, so I got the poster. You couldn`t get all the posters. You were lucky if you got one.
Martina Hingis
People should realize that I shot a Coke commercial back in 1986. So, you know, I`ve been around a long time. I carry my Screen Actors Guild Card.
Kato Kaelin
