[on director George Cukor] Mr. Cukor is a hard task-master, a fine director and he took me over the coals giving me the roughest time I have ever had. And I am eternally grateful.
Joan Crawford
[On his longtime fans]: First of all, it`s usually a sea of blue hair and I`m grateful and thankful that they`re still alive and around. I hope they understand that they are responsible for true joy. But the people in the seats were saying, put him in the...
Burt Reynolds
I never look at myself as a closet actor wanting to make music or a closet musician wanting to act -- I`m very proud to do both and I don`t put one above the other, I`m very grateful and excited by both opportunities -- it`s really a unique opportunity to...
Jared Leto
Sophia Bush is one of my dearest friends. I`m so fortunate to have her in my life, she`s just one of the most charismatic, genuinely, kind people I have ever met . . . the biggest heart. She has just become such apart [sic] of my life and I`m so grateful ...
Bevin Prince
[on working with high-profile directors] I`m very grateful, because a lot of actors would kill to work with any one of them. It`s been a very conscious choice on my part to work with the best - even if it was taking a small supporting role. After Showgirl...

I love acting, love it. It`s the greatest fun in the world. I`ve always had no trouble feeling extremely grateful. So even though, comparatively, I wasn`t doing so well, I thought I was on top of the world.

I`m most grateful to have had that joyous time in motion pictures. It really was a Golden Age of Hollywood. Pictures were talking, they were singing, they were coloring. It was beginning to blossom out: bud and blossom were both present.
Ginger Rogers
For years I fooled myself into thinking I could or even was getting off drugs. People knew I was using but they still hired me for their films. I was grateful back then, but it was what contributed to my downward spiral. People talk about my bizarre behav...

Salma Hayek
[on being a gay icon] I don`t know. I`m sort of aware that I am. But I`m that odd mixture of, on the one hand, being a gay icon and, on the other hand, having grandmas and parents being grateful I`m around to be a babysitter for their kids. And I`ve never...
Julie Andrews
It`s a shakedown. But I feel grateful that the hard things have been survivable - I`ve been able to learn from them and grow - and that the things that have been like a gift, I`ve had the wherewithal to realize are a gift. (In Style - February 2006 - "Uma...
Uma Thurman
(On his Oscar and why he didn`t go to the show) "I`m thankful for it, I`m not ungrateful. I`m very grateful. I just don`t choose to rub elbows with the whole Hollywood scene. It`s not me. If there is just one award show you don`t go to you gonna look ungr...
