When R-rated comedies don`t work, the studios are really embarrassed by them. But a PG-13 comedy is actually less offensive than an episode of "Friends" (1994). I think people want something a little more adult.
Judd Apatow
People shout at me "Hey, loved that The Matrix (1999), man!" Yeah - me too. I was actually on a plane last year and this guy sat down next to me. Finally he said something to me, and we started talking about _Pulp Fiction (1994)_. He couldn`t remember the...
Samuel Jackson
After finally reuniting with Led Zeppelin at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after being snubbed for Unledded (1994) (TV): "I`m glad my friends finally remembered my phone number."
John Paul Jones
If you want to make a movie, make it. Don`t wait for a grant, don`t wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it. - Giving advice to young aspiring filmmakers at the 1994 Independent Spirit Awards
Quentin Tarantino
I put aside an hour every day to go over that monologue again and again for months, and every time I got to the end of it, I would crack up. - On Pulp Fiction (1994).
Christopher Walken
[on watching Independence Day (1994) with President Bill Clinton watching] Oh, great. This is going to be like shooting baskets with `Magic Johnson` watching".
Bill Pullman
[in 1994 interview, on how she got cast in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987)] I did it because, frankly, I couldn`t get any other work then. I liked the show, so I asked if I could be on it. As a matter of fact, I asked twice. The first time, I sent...
Whoopi Goldberg
I`d never written for talking fuzzy animals before. I knew how to write to human emotions but these were animals. It took me a while to sort of get over that and do what you do which is just treat them like human characters. (On The Lion King (1994)]
Hans Zimmer
[on starring in "Full House" (1987)] "The whole time I was on it, I wished I was on another show, I`m not gonna lie to you. But I look back on it fondly, and I`m proud of it. Was it "Seinfeld" (1990), "Friends" (1994), "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970)? No. Was i...
John Stamos
On violence in the media: "We live in a violent world, but since the success of films like Pulp Fiction (1994), it seems every movie has some violence in it, and it`s now being used as a form of comedy: audiences are now being encouraged to laugh when peo...
Natalie Portman
On why she participated in the Miss World Pageant in 1994: "For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen. For me, it was about being the 20-year-old girl from India on international platform and a lot of people actually would assume that I wasn`t even educ...
Aishwarya Rai
Now what Tarantino will say to that is, `Don`t you understand? This is a black comedy. We`re holding this up to ridicule.` There`s no worse thing you can accuse a cool person of being than not getting a joke. - On Pulp Fiction (1994)
Charlton Heston
[at the 3004 Republican National Convention] Speaking of acting, one of my movies was called True Lies (1994). It`s what the Democrats should have called their convention.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
[on Threesome (1994)] "Yeah, it`s me, Lara Flynn Boyle and Stephen Baldwin in bed. Doing that scene was certainly uncomfortable. It`s uncomfortable to do a love scene with just one other person. You throw someone else in there, and you are even more uncom...
Josh Charles
[about "Friends" (1994)] It was the best experience, an unusually good one in TV. We all got along. The producers were great. It was wonderful being involved. I was extraordinarily lucky.
Lisa Kudrow
People don`t recognize I`m getting older. They see reruns of "All That" (1994) so they assume I`m ten years old. I`m 16. I`m almost 5` 8". I`m driving now.
Amanda Bynes
Had I not got the Thursday night ten o`clock slot at "ER" (1994), if they`d put us on Friday night, then I wouldn`t have a film career. That`s luck, not my own genius, though I like to think it was.
George Clooney
[in 1994 interview, on African-American actors in Hollywood] I don`t know if I`m the one who should be commenting on the situation. I can`t complain about the amount of work that`s out there. I am black. But I didn`t become black yesterday. I`m black and ...
Whoopi Goldberg
[on life after Heavenly Creatures (1994)] I think the hardest thing as to go back to school. It`s a pretty catty environment at an all-girls school and things happened. For example, "60 Minutes" (1993) came to do a story on me and followed me around for a...
Melanie Lynskey
(On his role in Ed Wood (1994)) "I never was happy with the job I did in Ed Wood (1994). Even though Tim (Burton) was, I wasn`t. Because it`s not what I wanted, it`s not what I wanted. First of all, the company, for whatever reason, not Tim, but the compa...

(On his role in Ed Wood (1994)) "I never was happy with the job I did in Ed Wood (1994). Even though Tim (Burton) was, I wasn`t. Because it`s not what I wanted, it`s not what I wanted. First of all, the company, for whatever reason, not Tim, but the compa...
Vincent D`Onofrio
[on "Inside the Actors Studio" (1994), answering an actor`s question about whether to move from NYC to L.A.] "Don`t go to L.A. unless there`s work. It`s one of the most frustrating and depressing places to be an actor. The problem is that it has no center...
Michael Douglas
On her scene in Star Trek: Generations (1994) where she`s piloting the "Enterprise": "It was a fascinating sequence. What was funny was that my chair caught fire and burned my bottom. When we did the next take, I stopped in the middle of all the confusion...
Marina Sirtis
Before "ER" (1994) a lot of people knew my name and some people knew my face. I saw big difference after "ER", like, wow, I didn`t know television was that powerful.
Omar Epps
If you`re going to succeed, you`ve got to be like one of those punch-drunk fighters in the old Warner Bros. boxing pictures: too stupid to fall down, you just keep slugging and stay on your feet. --Premiere, October 1994Frank Darabont
