The proximity of an army causes prices to go up; and high prices cause people`s substance to be drained away. When their substance is drained away, they will be afflicted by heavy exactions. With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the home...
Sun Tzu
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and e...
Washington Irving
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper
Aristotle
The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.
Gore Vidal
If you have 60 people dress like zombies and you show them something that you like, you get 60 people doing the exact same thing. My opinion of a good zombie walk is to loll your head as if it`s a little too heavy and the muscles have begun to atrophy.
George A. Romero
One of my abiding memories is being halfway up a mountain and watching two men carrying a basket with my clothes up to me, and another two carrying my armour and axe, then a woman carrying my helmut up, and finally another with my big, heavy boots to give...
John Rhys-Davies
I may not be the greatest actress but I`ve become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little.
Candice Bergen
Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Bruce Lee are my masters; they`re the inspiration for my work. Bruce Lee was a heavy fighter who threw hard punches. Jackie moves very fast and uses a lot of comedy, and Jet Li is very fluid. I`ve tried to combine all of their styl...
Tony Jaa
Let`s say I`m playing a heavy. Most of the time I`m only using a sliver of what I am, a little piece. Sometimes the more you embellish that, the worse it can be. The part`s just not there.
Martin Landau
These heavy movies, you carry them with you. Some days, when it would be great to chill and be a mom and just crash, I`m so wired, I can`t turn it off. I would love to do a comedy again, it would be so much fun. Do people know that? Let`s tell `em!
Robin Wright
I actually enjoy playing monsters and that kind of thing. Actually, I don`t think I`m very well-suited to play "scary" characters. Now and then, someone will try to use me as a heavy -- a Mafia guy or something like that -- but I don`t think that`s where ...
Carel Struycken
It`s an unfortunate fact of life that some of the most interesting and challenging roles are the most villainous. There`s just so much more to work with when the character is the heavy - the audience develops really strong feelings about him right away.
Andrew Stevens
[on making Wait Until Dark (1967)] It was the only heavy I`d ever played up until then, and I had a miserable time; I was crazy about Audrey Hepburn. I was just in awe of her. She was an extraordinary person in every way, and I just hated terrorizing her....
Alan Arkin
I`m a pessimist. But I`m a pessimist with a sense of responsibility. If I had never joined the military, the weight of my words wouldn`t be so heavy.
Maynard James Keenan
[2/12/04] I don`t care if I`m 5`7" and pretty heavy, weight-wise, in the film [the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy]. I still see myself as Errol Flynn. Even when I was a little boy, playing war games in the back yard, I pictured myself as the hero.
Sean Astin
[on the part of his career when he played almost exclusively bad guys] The best part is always the heavy. And the meaner and crueler and the worse you are, the more vicious you are as the heavy, the better the hero looks when he whips you. So, the heavy i...

Leslie Nielsen
I used to be a pretty serious drinker. Heavy in defiance of knowing my family situation, which is chock-full of alcoholism. For a long time I was a functional alcoholic, though it never got in the way of my work. But it affected relationships. I never kil...
Brian Dennehy
It`s part of my job. You can`t play Veronica Guerin [puts on heavy Strine] sounding like this. It just wouldn`t wash. But what I find fascinating about doing an accent - unless it`s a farce - is that it`s not slapped on. [on doing many accents]
Cate Blanchett
When the heavy, full of crime and bitterness, grabs his wounds and talks about death and taxes in a husky voice, the audience is his and his alone.
Humphrey Bogart
