For me, a large part of Jungle Fever (1991) is about sexual mythology: the mythology of a white woman being on a pedestal, the universal standard of beauty, and the mythology about the black man as sexual stud with a ten-foot dick. Buying into the mytholo...

I did Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), with Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert down in Buenos Aires, and I stunk. I was infatuated with Orson Welles` filmography at the time, so I wanted to see if I could make my voice as low as his, and I succeede...
John McGinley
[Interview in "Starlog" magazine in 1991, explaining his reluctance to do sequels to most of his successful films from the `80s] There`s so little time to do all the things I want to do that I can`t see any reason to get bogged down in sequels.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I could tell you the criticism backward and forward about Little Man Tate (1991). But it didn`t bother me as long as they were talking about the work and not about `she has fat thighs` or something. But I fared really well with `Tate,` so I shouldn`t be c...
Jodie Foster
This was the golden boy of all history. I`ve been trying to make [`Alexander`] for a long time. In 1991 with Val Kilmer, in 1996 with Tom Cruise. Then Colin Farrell came along, and he was perfect. He was a tough, Tyrone Power, barstool-looking boy from Du...
Oliver Stone
Soon, a hundred million dollars is going to be a normal budget for an action picture. That size picture is in the works at every studio. (Precognitively, after seeing Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), USA Today, August 1, 1991).

Every day of my life since I finished My Own Private Idaho (1991), at some point in the day, I find the conversation somehow goes back to that film, because it was just such a great experience. I just start getting all joyous and start babbling about it. ...
River Phoenix
[from his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys in 1991] Well, my daddy, he didn`t leave me much, you know he was a very simple man, but what he did tell me was this, he did say, "Son," he said, "you know it`s possible to becom...
Bob Dylan
(On Paul Reubens 1991 arrest for indecent exposure): "The loss he took for what allegedly happened is the equivalent of somebody`s getting 20 years for having a joint in their wallet."
Phil Hartman
[On River Phoenix and My Own Private Idaho (1991)] We were doing I Love You to Death (1990), and we got the Idaho script. We were driving in a car on Santa Monica Boulevard, probably on the way to a club, and were talking really fast about the whole idea....
Keanu Reeves
On Steven Seagal, with whom she worked with on the movie Out for Justice (1991): "His trailer is around the corner from mine on the Warner Bros. lot, and I was walking by recently and he said, `Margulies, come over here and show me some respect!` He`s not...
Julianna Margulies
[about Charles S. Dutton`s criticism of "Martin" (1992)] Is Charles Dutton funny? Huh? At the end of the day, no. He`s not. Charles Dutton is not as funny as Martin Lawrence. Now, I got nothing against Charles Dutton... but let`s be truthful here. If "Roc...
Chris Rock
[on his role in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) as Guy of Gisborne] It`s always so much more interesting to play the villains, and this guy is a real son of a bitch.
Michael Wincott
[On filming her torture scenes in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).] I had bad dreams before shooting, but when we started, it was cathartic. I screamed so much, it was like primal therapy. (2007)
Brooke Smith
[When asked if he ever gets recognized for anything]: "I have this young female demographic that recognizes me as the dad from My Girl (1991) and this older female demographic that recognizes me as the son from Driving Miss Daisy (1989)."
Dan Aykroyd
I`ll always do costume roles. I`m bigger than life and so, in a way, I`m part of the fantasy/science fiction/horror genre.. But I`m more than just a guy in a suit. When people want big and a performance along with that big, I`m the one they call. (from a ...

Of all the characters I`ve played, I think I have more in common with that guy than with Reilly: Ace of Spies" (1983) (mini) referring to Carl Fitzgerald in Death in Brunswick (1991). Who Weekly (NZ) 8/23/93.
Sam Neill
When I came back to Washington to be The Times` chief congressional correspondent in 1991, I was looking for a book subject, and Ted Kennedy stood out for two reasons.
Ahmad Zeidabady
The, the, today the injunction is still in place. Uh, many of the issues that were still a part of those hearings in 1991 are still at issue.
Andrew Gilbert
The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and...
