Brittany Murphy
I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I`ll make pretty good movies the rest of my life. And maybe I`ll make some clunkers, maybe I`ll make some winners, but I guess the way that I really feel is that Magnolia (1999) is, for better or worse, th...

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...

Brion James
When I get cast, I always flip to the end of the script to see if my character gets beaten up or killed. I really thought that after getting killed on The Sopranos" (1999) I should not accept scripts where I die. I mean, there`s nowhere to go after gettin...

Kevin Spacey
As far as I`m concerned, when I looked at what happened in my career in 2000 - after American Beauty (1999) - I thought it couldn`t get much better. What was I going to spend the rest of my life doing? Trying to top myself? Trying to stay hot, trying to m...
Kevin Spacey
