[Acknowledging that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg originally wanted another actor to play Indiana Jones]: "My playing Indy was mentioned to me about only six weeks before shooting started, but being second choice wasn`t at all offensive. I would alway...
Harrison Ford
(on being typecast) If you look at the careers of people like Anthony Quinn, Cagney, even Tommy Lee Jones, they all were cast as villains. There comes a certain point in your life, in your late 30s, early 40s, when suddenly that can change. Maybe a direct...
Robert Davi
[on _Indiana Jones 4 (2008)_] I am resting from acting - you might say I`m retired. It would take something really considerable to bring me back. Nothing has been discussed but I hear it`s back on.
Sean Connery
[on his co-star Harrison Ford]I`ve been fortunate enough to work with Harrison on (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the) Crystal Skull, and I can honestly say it is a dream come true. He`s a man`s man. And he`s incredible because he make movies even bette...
Shia LaBeouf
I live in a town where if you`re a woman over 40, you`re really passé. In the movies a Sean Connery can get Catherine Zeta-Jones as a love interest. But Shirley MacLaine can`t have Billy Crudup as a boyfriend.
JoBeth Williams
[from "James Earl Jones: Voices and Silences" page 360]: My voice is for hire. My endorsement is not for hire. I will do a voice-over, but I cannot endorse without making a different kind of commitment. My politics are very personal and subjective.
James Jones
The director (Gore Verbinski) asked me to do Dutch, and I don`t do Dutch. So I decided on Scottish. - on his Scottish accent for Davy Jones in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man`s Chest"
Bill Nighy
(On turning down the chance to play Richard Gere`s character in the Harvey Weinstein-produced film Chicago) "I thought I was too young for the role. You have some 34-year-old guy up against Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renée Zellweger and it becomes a differe...
Hugh Jackman
Carmen Jones (1954) was the best break I`ve ever had. But no producer ever knocked on my door. There just aren`t that many parts for a black actress.
Dorothy Dandridge
Die Hard, Indiana Jones, and Lethal Weapon were the movies that really kicked it off for me in high school. I saw a making-of Raiders of the Lost Ark documentary and thought, `Man, that`s the job I want to do.`
Len Wiseman
When he hired me, Oliver [Oliver Stone] said, `I`m making a table. I have four legs already - Robert Downey Jr., Juliette Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson. And I`m going to have a fifth leg on my table. And if that leg is wobbly, my table is a v...
Tom Sizemore
[about singing the remake of "Lady Marmalade" with Pink, Mya and `Kimberly `Lil` Kim` Jones`.] It`s the closest I ever got to being in a girl group.
Christina Aguilera
I`m definitely no Bridget Jones. I don`t believe in that whole `oh there are no decent men out there` thing. Get real girls- there are loads of gorgeous guys on every street corner
Eva Longoria
From the moment I met Catherine [wife Catherine Zeta-Jones] and we formed our family, I was a new man, very different from the one I used to be. This is the result of my everyday life with her, of the intense love we have for each other, of the great need...
Michael Douglas
[As to why he didn`t rejoin The Monkees when Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones re-formed the group, c. 1986] "It would be kind of like Ronald Reagan making another movie."
Michael Nesmith
Every single film since [Pride and Prejudice] there`s been a scene where someone goes, `Well I think you`ve just killed Mr Darcy`. But he is a figure that won`t die. He is wandering somewhere. I can`t control him. I tried to play with it in Bridget Jones....
Colin Firth
[on wife Catherine Zeta-Jones] "She is not only beautiful but also very deep and we understand each other extremely well. I love her above all. Catherine is the woman of my life. A dream."
Michael Douglas
My name is Kirk Douglas. You may know me. If you don`t ... Google me. I was a movie star and I`m Michael Douglas` dad, Catherine Zeta-Jones` father-in-law, and the grandparents of their two children. Today I celebrate my 90th birthday. I have a message to...
Kirk Douglas
Whoever had the bright idea of putting Indiana Jones in a leather jacket and a fedora in the jungle ought to be dragged into the street and shot.
Harrison Ford
On a 4th Indiana Jones - "Every three or four years the rumours start again, but any new script has got to be approved by Steven, and by George, and by Harrison. Everyone would like to do one, but the script has got to be better than the other three. Ever...
John Rhys-Davies
[On playing Indianna Jones again] "No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I`m still quite fit enough to fake it."
Harrison Ford
I loved making it, I had a ball - cowboys and Indians. This is the thing, I love doing things which I`d never envisaged before. And so getting me on the back of a horse, with Tommy Lee Jones and shooting guns and chasing Indians, it`s just not something t...
Cate Blanchett
As soon as I met Catherine [Catherine Zeta-Jones] I told her I wanted to have babies with her, and the moment I found out that she had the same birthday as me - tadaah! Then when I discovered she loved golf, I realized all my fantasies had come true. I`ve...
Michael Douglas
My life does take a bit of work. I certainly know how much guys like Catherine [Catherine Zeta-Jones], and well deserved. She`s fantastic and beautiful inside and out, she`s a talented, talented actress, really good mom and a heck of a wife.
Michael Douglas
[About the upcoming 2008 film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"] When you do a movie like this, a sequel that`s very, very anticipated, people anticipate ultimately that it`s going to be the Second Coming. And it`s not. It`s just a mov...
George Lucas
[after winning an MTV Award for the video "Lady Marmalade, shared with singers Mya, Pink and `Kimberly `Lil` Kim` Jones`] The big hair paid off!
Christina Aguilera
Journalism largely consists of saying "Lord Jones is Dead" to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.
