[On her 1997 break up with Brad Pitt]: It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.
Gwyneth Paltrow
(1997) "I felt I disappointed a lot of older fans by being too conscious of the family aspect.... Now, I owe the hardcore fans the Batman movie they would love me to give them."
Joel Schumacher
On violence in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003): "When I was on "The View" (1997), Barbara Walters was asking me about the blood and stuff, and I said, `Well, you know, that`s a staple of Japanese cinema.` And then she came back,`But this is America.` And I go, `...
Quentin Tarantino
[on his role as Spike in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997)] "Joss Whedon said to me, `If you think you are taking over the show, you have got another think coming.` He said, `You are here only because I don`t want to kill a villain off every week. I want ...
James Marsters
[March 1997] We use up words like "spiritual" so fast in this culture. Twenty years ago "spiritual" had a distinct meaning. But now there`s a lot of jack-off thinkers who just love to talk about the spiritual. And there is a lot of bogus -- is "bogosity" ...
George Carlin
My favorite role ever was Anthony Pascal" from The House of Yes (1997). He was like a "Norman Bates" before his mom bought the motel years. You knew he was going to snap and something was just a little bit off".

They`re very harsh critics and they`ve often said to me: "That was shit, you were crap`, but this is the first time [after he saw her as "Amy Foster" on Swept from the Sea (1997)] my father said to me: `I think one day you`ll be a good actress"-- on her p...
Rachel Weisz
You have to be careful so you don`t make your character dull and predictable. Sometimes you have to bend the script a little... The bad guys are mostly the same on the paper... A bad guy wouldn`t think of himself as bad. The guy I`m playing in Metro (1997...
Michael Wincott
[speaking in 1997] I have taken a long vacation, but I wouldn`t object to a fascinating part in a first-rate project, something I felt I could do well or would understand and interpret in an effective way. Then I would say, `Yes`. The offers still come, b...
Olivia De Havilland
[On the shooting for his writing/directing debut Nil by Mouth (1997)]: I set aside three weeks for rehearsals. Those long scenes are like a play. But I wanted things loosely structured, more like jazz. Though there was very little improv on screen, someti...
Gary Oldman
I just didn`t see myself in Amistad (1997). I ain`t putting no chains around my neck. I`m not in the mood right now, too edgy. It just wasn`t for me. I`m not having it. I`m like, `Yeah, that`s what happened then, but how about me cutting everybody`s head ...

Roberto Benigni
[Reflecting on his delight for starring in Walt Disney`s Invincible (2006)]: It`s a movie my kids can see - my nieces and nephews. I haven`t had that. None of my nieces and nephews have seen Boogie Nights (1997), thank God! I haven`t made too many PG movi...

(1997) My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

[On his Titanic (1997) experience]: Yeah, I was lucky because I didn`t have to spend hours in freezing water. There weren`t many people my age on set, so Kate (Kate Winslet), Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and I hung out together. We would pile into Leo`s dressi...
Ioan Gruffudd
About Darkness Falls (1999) - "I loved the script when I read it; it`s a wonderful character piece. I saw Ray [Winstone]`s work, like _Nil by Mouth (1997)_, and I saw Tim [Dutton]`s work, and I just was really excited to be a part of it."
Sherilyn Fenn
[On the success of Jurassic Park (1993), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and Independence Day (1996)]: The success of these three movies has certainly made my life less stressful and I`m having great fun slaying aliens and dinosaurs.
Jeff Goldblum
After Titanic (1997) it would have been completely foolish for me to go and try and top that. I`m an English girl, I`ve always loved England, I`ve never felt the desire to leave it for any particular reason. And whilst I`m ambitious and care very much abo...
Kate Winslet
I put a very high premium on honesty. What I learned from [my father`s] death is that if you don`t accept your sexuality, it will kill you. -- Cosmopolitan magazine, May 1997Anne Heche
I`m so not like [Stargate SG-1" (1997) character Dr. Janet] Fraiser. She`s so controlled and contained. I`m nuts! I`m full of energy! I`m always going. I try to slow it down by doing yoga, but I end up the loudest one in the class. I`m always active, roll...
Teryl Rothery

Charlie Sheen
[about her last day on the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) set:] "It was that sense that everything is coming to an end, like high school when you`re about to graduate -- you really start taking notice of everyone, and noticing your surroundings. Especi...
Emma Caulfield
[after being rejected for the femme fatale role in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) at age 39] I`d never felt more sexy and more confident as a woman, and more ready as an actress. Yet, as I quickly discovered, if you were over 35, you weren`t any of those thin...
Sela Ward
(On whether or not he`s sick of talking about his "Oz" (1997) co-star, Lee Tergesen): "Talking about Lee is like eating a big fat chocolate sundae. I know it`s bad for me, but I can`t help myself. I catch myself doing it all the time, or dreaming about it...

[on improvising dialogue as Scott Evil in scenes with Mike Myers in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997):] "[Dr. Evil`s] whole shhh! thing was made up on the spot. It`s a testament to Mike Myers` brilliance. They just keep going after the wr...
