Guys I thought of as heroes were like Joe Louis and, maybe during the war, there was General [George S. Patton], of course, and maybe [Dwight D. Eisenhower], who was the head of the Allied forces. And Gary Cooper. There were just a handful of men and a ha...
Clint Eastwood
Gary Cooper was neither intelligent nor cultured. Just like the other actors, he was chosen for his physique, which, after all, was more important than an active brain.
Marlene Dietrich
I like men who are very cool but also so brilliant that they are almost insane. Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Tom Waits-men who would be flipping burgers if they hadn`t found an outlet for their brilliant mind-sets. I also like men who have hands with big mascu...
Jolene Blalock
I don`t approve of the John Waynes and the Gary Coopers saying `Shucks, I ain`t no actor -- I`m just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant.` If they aren`t actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked h...
Humphrey Bogart
I feel OK about my body. Not totally, of course, no one my age does ... but I`ve gone to the gym to make sure. And many of the actors I admire, like Gary Oldman, have gone naked.
Daniel Radcliffe
Nan Collins, my manager, came from Gary, Indiana and suggested I adopt that name. She felt it was more exciting than Frank. I figured I`d give it a try. Good thing she didn`t come from Poughkeepsie.
Gary Cooper
[1998 Quote]: I just see myself as a character actor. I`d like to be a star in the same way as Gary Oldman or John Malkovich are famous, who get to do character pieces and not act like movie stars.
Sam Rockwell
[To a fan who asked him to sign Buddy Holly`s name to a color photo]: "There IS no OTHER Buddy Holly... I like Buddy fine, but *I`m* `Gary Busey`."
Gary Busey
[on Gary Cooper] I loved working with Gary Cooper. People refer to Cooperisms and Cooper tricks, but I always found him to be a tremendous actor.

Robert Preston
I`d never read the book [Of Mice and Men] in school or anything. So when I read the screenplay I just cried my eyes out. I couldn`t believe - it was just a beautiful story. When I met with Gary Sinise, he just said, `You know, she`s always played - and sh...
Sherilyn Fenn
High Noon (1952) was the most un-American thing I have ever seen in my whole life. The last thing in the picture is ol` Coop [Gary Cooper] putting the United States marshal`s badge under his foot and stepping on it. I`ll never regret having run [screenwri...
John Wayne
During his standup routine, "A lot of people do standup comedy in hopes of landing a television series. Well, I`m just the opposite. I`ve already had a TV series and now I`m doing standup. If this doesn`t work, soon I`ll be doing security with Gary Colema...
Dustin Diamond
Where can we find the great actors we had yesteryear, guys like Spencer Tracy and Gary Cooper and Edward G. Robinson? You know, I was talking to Lee Marvin the other day and we agreed that we were the last of a breed. We`re the last who had the opportunit...
Ernest Borgnine
How they got Gary Cooper to do that one! To me, at least, it simply degrades the Medal of Honor. The whole story makes a mockery of America`s highest award for valor. The whole premise of the story was wrong, illogical, because they don`t pick the type of...
John Wayne
[referring to her fourth husband, Gary Merrill]: "Gary was a macho man, but none of my husbands was ever man enough to become Mr. Bette Davis."

[on Gary Busey]: "Gary is just the sweetest man. He was very supportive of me and protective. I guess I saw that very passionate, slightly crazy side that he seems to vent in some bad ways sometimes. But I never saw anything but the good side of him, and ...

Claire Stansfield
[after Clark Gable ended up with the role of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939)] "Gone with the Wind is going to be the biggest flop in history. I`m just glad it`ll be Clark Gable who`s falling on his face and not Gary Cooper."
Gary Cooper
I guess what I`m trying to say is, it`s not Dracula crying, it`s Gary Oldman, but using the technique of the character. The emotion is mine, because I don`t know what it`s like to be undead and live 300 years.
Gary Oldman
[about Gary Cooper] "Coop is a right guy, the kind you like to hunt and fish with and not talk about making movies. I laid it on him one time about his romance with Carole [Carole Lombard, Gable`s wife] and he got pale as hell. She told me about it during...
Clark Gable
I really want to work with Gary Oldman. I want to play his brother or something. Or have him direct me or I just want to get inside that guy`s head, you know and I know, I just feel that I know the guy even though I don`t know him. I feel like I know him....
Sam Rockwell
I`m just glad it`ll be Clark Gable who`s falling on his face and not Gary Cooper. - after Clark Gable ended up with the avoided lead male part in `It Happened One Night` (1934), which turned out to be a huge success
Gary Cooper
I`m a big fan of Gary Oldman - Sid and Nancy (1986), Dracula (1992), Immortal Beloved (1994) - I`ve watched every film he`s ever done. I`d also love to work with some of the old school greats like Mike Nichols and Steven Spielberg. And I think Gus Van San...
