What conditions of work, what kinds of work, what kinds of management, and what kinds of reward or pay will help human stature to grow healthy, to its fuller and fullest stature ? Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of hum
Abraham Maslow
In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity of order, has never been so promising as an independent expression as it is today.
Lincoln Kirstein
Wall Streets got interested in film and communications, and these are the people who brought you the Big Mac. In the past twelve years, I can`t think of one classic they`ve made. (1996)
Francis Ford Coppola
I`ve always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort ...
Tim Burton
I`m 5 foot 7, and I`ve got pasty white skin. I don`t think I`m ugly, don`t get me wrong, but I`m not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy.
James McAvoy
[on his being passed over for Tim Burton`s 1989 Batman (1989)] I cried for an hour, but then I was okay. I wanted it! I don`t know. I figured that`s their business and they have a film in mind. I`ve already done it. I`ve done my Batman. Look, do you want ...
Adam West
If you look at a classic horror movie like `The Exorcist,` part of what makes it so scary is that it feels so damn real. If you add a layer of too much hysterical, theatrical reality, then audiences take it less seriously. But if you play it for absolute ...
Frank Darabont
I`d much rather play sports with my free time. I also like watching classic movies and watching certain TV shows like The Simpsons. I`m a big basketball fan too. That would be my sport of choice.
Logan Lerman
(Describing Harold and Maude) It was a genius script, written by Colin Higgins. Nothing was filmed that was not in that script. I knew immediately upon reading it that it would be a classic.
Bud Cort
I have played a couple of nice moms in my career [think Jennifer Grey`s mom in the classic film Dirty Dancing] but, in my opinion, playing nice is a complete bore! The nastier they are the more fun they are [as in Howard Stern`s mom in Private Parts, perh...
Kelly Bishop
[on America] I can tell you why I love her. I have a lust for her dignity. I look at her wonderfully classic face, and I see hidden in it a sense of humor that I love. I think of wonderful, exciting, decent things when I look at her . . .
John Wayne
[on what keeps him humble] You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, "We saw your movie." "Which one?" I said, and he shouted, "Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn`t like?" I thought that was just class...
Brad Pitt
But we have to remember that almost all films are written and directed by men. Female characters are women imagined by men, so it`s always this classic figure of a sexy woman with a childish innocence.
Natalie Portman
[on his third wife Pilar Wayne] I can tell you why I love her. I have a lust for her dignity. I look at her wonderfully classic face, and I see hidden in it a sense of humor that I love. I think of wonderful, exciting, decent things when I look at her.
John Wayne
My dream car is a red `57 Chevrolet pickup. So I`d take a road trip in that for a day, play classic rock music the whole time and then stop at a diner at midnight for some apple pie.
Bethany Lenz
There`s a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters. (Spoken in answer to question at Cann...
Sean Bean
My second album is the highest anticipated record coming out this year and I`ve been spending long hours in the studio to make sure it`s a classic,
The Game
Really interesting genre films, especially monster movies, evoke the fears of the times intentionally. Our starting point was Godzilla - the original movie was released less than 10 years after Hiroshima, and it`s a classic in Japan. It came out at the sa...
Matt Reeves
No film has captivated my imagination more than King Kong. I`m making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old. It has been my sustained dream to reinterpret this classic story for a new age.
Peter Jackson
[Reflecting on A Clockwork Orange (1971)]: "It`s a remarkable film that has survived as such a classic and I`d be a raving idiot not to be thrilled with that."
Malcolm McDowell
If you are going to remake a film, you may as well remake a classic. I do think great stories have a way of retelling themselves. The medium is so young that so much is not content-driven, it`s about stars and the studio. But when we have gotten through t...
Liev Schreiber
It`s true, the classic, iconic American ideal, that heroine, our idea of perfection is this blonde woman in a blue dress and a blue car.
Julianne Moore
When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before
