American grammar doesn`t have the sturdiness of British grammar (a British advertising man with a proper education can make magazine copy for ribbed condoms sound like the Magna goddam Carta), but it has its own scruffy charm
Stephen King
[on the Internet] "I got a computer and I`m learning how to use it. I collect antique books, so I used it to get my copy of `Les Liaisons Dangereuses,` and I use it for travel, to look up customs. I went to Fiji, and I looked up all this stuff before I we...
Sarah Gellar
You can`t copy a film. If I hold a camera, it`s different than if Irving Penn holds it. Even if it`s in the same place, it will magically take on his character. Which was part of the experiment. Our `Psycho` showed that you can`t really appropriate. Or yo...
Gus Van Sant
I`m personally trying to change my image and change things about myself but they don`t want to let it die. I guess there are more sales in controversy. They should change the title of `Hard Copy` to Hard Charlie or Sheen Copy, Christ I`m on there twice a ...
Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen
I was given a copy of that script because at one point I was involved with Dune (1984). It would have been my first job for damn near a year. So, Dave (Lynch) gave me the script and it was straight-out, hard-core pornography before page 30. I never finish...
Val Kilmer
(On the infamous "Who Shot J.R?" episode): "Before that fateful shot rang out, I was merely bemused by the success of the character. Villainy could be fun, and that`s how I played it. And if it worked. I mean I couldn`t go down to the corner to pick up my...
Larry Hagman
I started out as a guitarist in the early Eighties. I hooked up with a guy who idolized James Dean and he gave me a copy of the Dean biography, `The Mutant King`, which I thought was really interesting. While reading the book, I watched Rebel Without a Ca...
Johnny Depp
[On the film Sharky`s Machine (1981)]: Author Sidney Sheldon first mentioned William Diehl`s novel Sharky`s Machine to me at a party. Soon afterward Clint Eastwood sent me a copy of the same best-selling book with a note saying: "This is Dirty Harry in At...
Burt Reynolds
[on buying a copy of Upton Sinclair`s "Oil!", which he adapted into There Will Be Blood (2007)] I was homesick and the book had a painting of California on the cover.
Paul Anderson
In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn`t work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They`re relying too much on the technology and not e...
Tim Burton
James Franco is Mr. Method, very intense. He scoured the globe for every single copy of the original story whereas I sat with a pint of Guinness and my script.
Sophia Myles
People copy, people steal. Most of the pictures they make nowadays are loaded down with special effects. I couldn`t do that. I quit smoking because I couldn`t reload my Zippo.
Billy Wilder
I get a copy of every action figure from Star Wars. I send them to charity. Some of the really cool ones I keep. Like there`s a snow globe thing with one of the spacecrafts in it, which is also a music box, which I really love.
Natalie Portman
I haven`t seen it, but when people copy you, that`s like the most flattering thing, so whatever people can say, I just laugh about it. It doesn`t matter to me. (On "South Park: Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset (#8.12)" (2004))
Paris Hilton
[on Orson Welles] For me he`s just a hoax. It`s empty. It`s not interesting. It`s dead. Citizen Kane (1941), which I have a copy of, is all the critics` darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it`s a total bore. Above all, the performa...
Ingmar Bergman
Once I got sort of quite good then it was `sit down, take a deep breath and attempt to copy the Beatles`, which is very difficult, although I have to say I`ve mastered it to a tee.
Noel Gallagher
You can`t copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you`re working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it`s got to be that way in music or it isn`t music.
Billie Holiday
