Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.

Bertrand Russell
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
I took the oldest profession on Earth and I did it better than anyone on Earth. Alexander the Great conquered the world at 32. I conquered it at 22.
Heidi Fleiss
[on Alexander Korda] "Alex was like a father to us - we went to see him with every little problem we had. We usually left convinced that he had solved it - or that we`d got our own way."
Vivien Leigh
He went for the head. Kill the king, and your enemy folds. Alexander would have gone after Osama bin Laden. I`m sorry, but Kerry was right.
Oliver Stone
If I could talk to Alexander, I`d ask him why he married Roxane. But the Greeks did have a regard for women: Six of the 12 gods are women, after all. Marrying her pissed off all of his men, but he didn`t care, he was making a point.
Oliver Stone
For a while, I was through with acting, and then Alexander Payne called me up and said `Hey, Thomas! I have a script I want you to read! It`ll be great; you get to sleep with my wife!` -referring to Sideways (2004) and his sex scenes with Sandra Oh.
Thomas Haden Church
I don`t believe in this business of chopping up a film and then releasing a `director`s cut` on DVD. What you see should be the director`s cut. This is the director`s cut. If you can spend four hours killing Bill, Alexander deserves some space.
Oliver Stone
[on playing Olympias in Alexander (2004)] I felt that if I lived at that time, with the dangers she had and the threats she had and the lack of power she had as a woman, I would not have been that different from her. And I thought I also just saw her as a...
Angelina Jolie
But I always liked the Greek outfits. They were sexier than the Romans`, you`ve got to admit. And they didn`t wear sandals. They wore boots. So don`t call it a sword-and-sandal (movie), for Christ`s sake! It`s sword-and-boot, OK? [on `Alexander`]
Oliver Stone
[on the famous fight scene in Superman II (1980)] The Salkinds [producers Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind] wanted to make a splash. Their vision was really big. I remember much of that as being fun. The strong wind blowing the cars around, from the thr...
Christopher Reeve
If we had to do things the American PG way, then we were screwed. Alexander had to be an R picture. If you work in Hollywood, you have to get past the studio development committees. The thousands of demands. The previews where they dumb it down for the au...
Oliver Stone
I blame Ridley Scott really, because he was the person who went I love Star Trek and I`d love it if you were in my movie" and people like Oliver Stone went "I hated Star Trek and I don`t want you in Alexander (2004)!" I was really lucky there".
Alexander Siddig
Alexander`s lasted 2,300 years. Why? He`s remembered because of his vision, because of his compassion, because of his generosity, because of his spirit, because he was different. He was a general, a man, who was able to weep over his soldiers on the battl...
Oliver Stone
You`re right, but Alexander Cartwright was a good friend of Shakespeare`s and they played a prototype game in an amateur league back then ...
Fran Healy
Upon the sixth of April, Alexander the Great was born. Upon the same day he conquered Darius, won a great victory at sea, and died the same day.
Alicia Bell
This was in June, 1866. Frank wrote for me to come to him at once, and although my own wound was still very bad, I started immediately and stayed with him at the house of Mr. Alexander Severe, in Nelson county, until he recovered, which was in September.
Jesse James
The United Way really appreciates the cooperation of Alexander Travel and Debbie Emery, the manager of Alexander Travel in Canton in making one of the top prizes a trip for two instead of a trip for one

Avery Goldstein
The only history is a mere question of one`s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
Alan Sandals
One of my fantasies in my life has been that I was granted access with a camera to go back in time, and to film the actual campaign of Alexander crossing into India through Iran and Persia.
Oliver Stone
My partner, Beth Alexander, and I want to produce smaller films, but commercially viable films that will enable me to make the kinds of movies I want to make.
Stanley Tucci
My breakthrough as a reader was when I discovered the European adventure story writers - Alexander Dumas, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, to name a few.
Terry Brooks
