There is a direct link between the federal tax cut of 2001 and state tax increases in 2003. When the federal government`s mistakes force states to raise their taxes, it not only robs Peter to pay Paul, but it hurts hard-working families and it undermines ...

When I played Mickey Mantle in 61* (2001) (TV). We were operating on a real high level. All the athletic training that we had to go through was something that you had to condition your body at a high level of athletic skill and we were playing baseball fo...
Thomas Jane
(July 2001): "I thought of every possible angle which would drive me towards stardom. But I never thought of, when I become a star, what will I do, how will I handle it. Everything has hit me all at once. I realize I don`t have the talent to handle it."
Hrithik Roshan
[in New York Magazine, commenting about his recurring role as a terrorist on TV`s "24" (2001)] I have a huge political problem with the role. It was essentially accepting a form of racial profiling. I think it`s repulsive. But it was the first time I had ...

Charge forward with hope and get the best medical advice you can. Talk to your friends, neighbors, family, and together you attack it. We can`t always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it. (Wisconsin speech, 2001)
Robert Urich
There is something inherently tough about Americans. They will not accept defeat. The astronauts of Apollo 13 (1995) would not give up, John Nash in A Beautiful Mind (2001) would not give up, and Jim Braddock would not surrender to poverty.
Ron Howard
[To rescue workers at the World Trade Center, New York, September 14, 2001] I can hear you! I hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked down these buildings will hear all of us soon!
George W. Bush
The two times I performed at the White House, for the Kennedy Center Honors, I was made fun of. The first time, in 2001, I wore a nice Gucci suit and tie, which cost more than my rent. And when I met President Bush, he said, `Thanks for dressing up.` Ever...

One of the things I learned on Training Day (2001) was it can be fun to work inside a genre. And I`ve also always felt that if you wanted to keep working, that if you`re not a real chameleon of an actor and if you`re not one of those guys who can really s...

It`s traumatizing for me to come to Washington during a Republican administration because I don`t have any Republican clothes. - Washington Post, June 20, 2001Sharon Stone
After 9/11 disaster from article in Commentary magazine, November 2001: "Who would have thought that I`d be angry on behalf of my country? I`m used to being angry at my country."
Janeane Garofalo
[on turning down the role of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)] Yeah, well, I never understood it. I read the book. I read the script. I saw the movie. I still don`t understand it.
Sean Connery
(July 2001): "Hollywood is definitely happening to me but right now I`m not happening for Hollywood. Maybe if offers still last by 2005 I will. I`m committed until then."
Hrithik Roshan
The ["Scrubs" (2001)] pilot script`s notes described the character as a John C. McGinley-type. Now, I don`t know what that type is, but I said, "Well, you`ve got him." I still had to audition five times for the network.

On the series finale of "Enterprise" (2001): "These are the Voyages..." was a good episode but not a great finale. They should`ve done a 2-hour, you know, like we did. Then I would`ve gotten double the money--that would`ve been good." (August 20, 2005).
Marina Sirtis
[About her role in The Mists of Avalon (2001) (TV), directed by German-born Uli Edel, specifically the infamous "threesome" scene]: The guys have on boxers, but I`ve just got, like, a piece of nude stretchy material taped to my breasts and my legs. And th...

On the one role that got away: "I`d have to say Ewan McGregor`s part in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was soooo close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where pe...
Jake Gyllenhaal
On how he got the part in Black Hawk Down (2001): "My character breaks his back, and I had mentioned I had done that when I was up for the part. Who knows why one actor gets a job and another doesn`t? I think it was just good timing that I happened to be ...

This is the best love theme I`ve ever written, I keep telling everyone this is a romantic comedy, but nobody believes me. - [on Hannibal (2001)]
Hans Zimmer
On hosting the Emmys after the 9/11 tragedy (November 4, 2001): "We`re told to go on living our lives as usual, because to do otherwise is to let the terrorists win, and really, what would upset the Taliban more than a gay woman wearing a suit in front of...
