For Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for Sister, for whom it was the land of Father Says.

The point is that descriptive writing is very rarely entirely accurate and during the reign of Olaf Quimby II as Patrician of Ankh-Morpork some legislation was passed in a determined attempt to “put a stop to this sort of thing and introduce some honest...
Terry Pratchett
John Dalton`s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.
Isaac Asimov
Nobody has ever respected me and done things for me and loved me. So when Howard [former husband J. Howard Marshall II] came along, it was a blessing. He is the only person in my life who does not care about what other people say about me. He truly loves ...
Anna Nicole Smith
I did Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), with Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert down in Buenos Aires, and I stunk. I was infatuated with Orson Welles` filmography at the time, so I wanted to see if I could make my voice as low as his, and I succeede...
John McGinley
[On meeting Pope John Paul II at the White House in 1978] "He impressed me more than any other man I`ve ever met, and I`ve met a lot. My wife and I happened to be seated on one of the aisles, and the Pope came right down and he saw me and smiled. The smil...
Gregory Peck
[speaking about the reshoots of Superman II (1980) after changing directors] It was usually done whenever a set doubled or we had a problem with expensive actors being available. I remember we did many scenes from the Daily Planet, if not all of them, whi...
Christopher Reeve
[On the Wonder Woman TV series being updated from World War II]: "I think they [CBS] wanted to retool it and modernize it when they bought it, so they weren`t just buying the same show."
Lynda Carter
It`s funny to realize, but in my relatively short life I have lived through six or seven different social and cultural systems. First the Democratic Republic of Czechoslovakia, then the limited democracy before World War II, then the Nazi regime. After th...
Milos Forman
Each flick I`ve done is kind of a snapshot of where I was in my life when I wrote it; `Clerks II` really speaks to where I am in life at the moment. You don`t have to be an analyst to look at the movie and go, `The Quick Stop means a little more than the ...
Kevin Smith
My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn`t know my dad very well.

On Mad Max II (The Road Warrior) "It was a very, very clever movie. Just look at what the genius of George Miller started. A lot of people copied that look that genre over the years. It was really quite ahead of its time."
Virginia Hey
I don`t know the man - never met him, never even spoken to him. But I feel sorry for George Clooney - one day he may get Alzheimer`s disease. I served my country in World War II. I survived that - I guess I can survive some bad words from this fellow.
Charlton Heston
Acting to mid-air is odd. There`s a perverse pleasure to it when you get it right, but often you don`t. Aliens are really hard. On the second one [Star Wars: Episode II] I was doing the scene with those tall ones - actually, I quite fancied the female one...
Ewan McGregor
The guy who`s creating that character will create their responses off how you respond to their responses which aren`t there. It`s a nightmare! - about acting with digital characters in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

My dad was employed as a meteorologist at the Edgewood Arsenal. They made poison gas there during World War II, so I guess it would have been the meteorologist`s job to figure out which way the wind was blowing when it was time to shoot the stuff off.
Frank Zappa
[on making sequels] You know, when you make sequels, they have to be better each time. And you have to spend the money. I remember on Superman II (1980), we once went down to St. Lucia in the Caribbean from Pinewood--took a whole crew to get a shot of Sup...
Christopher Reeve
George felt that it was just and proper. When he made Empire, we hadn`t met, and he didn`t have a particular idea of who would play the Emperor or how the character would develop. And he had no notion that he would do the back-story - Episodes I, II, and ...
Ian McDiarmid
[comparing The Godfather: Part II (1974) with "The Sopranos" (1999)] I don`t know anyone who curses the way they do in an Italian household. I never said the word "hell" in front of my mother. That was a different time, but I have sons and they have never...
Danny Aiello
I was born in the West after World War II in a senselessly wealthy country, and I never really had to struggle. Sure, there were years when I didn`t have a refrigerator or stove, but that`s nothing compared to Rwanda.
John Malkovich
Let`s never forget that to remain free we must always be strong. That`s an important lesson I learned in my Navy career in World War II. National defense must be the top priority for our country. If you are strong, you are safe. Now is the time for every ...
Glenn Ford
I probably sound like some egotist, you know, saying that the Roman Church is wrong, but I believe it is at the moment, since Vatican II. (1990)
Mel Gibson
[on the famous fight scene in Superman II (1980)] The Salkinds [producers Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind] wanted to make a splash. Their vision was really big. I remember much of that as being fun. The strong wind blowing the cars around, from the thr...
Christopher Reeve
On preparing his role as young Karol Wojtyla for Pope John Paul II (2005) (TV): "I was blessed enough to meet Pope John Paul when I was 22 years old in the Vatican; I had that privilege. My mother took me to visit him, and I remember distinctly his incred...
