I`d rather spend my time with grape growers than actors. In the film industry, all the money is focused on television and the stupidity of American cinema. There are fewer and fewer "films d`auteur" made by people like Ken Loach or Claude Chabrol. The cin...
Gerard Depardieu
[on his role as Father Grandier in The Devils (1971)] You would think from the critics` hostility that Ken Russell had tried to pull off some obscene hoax. On the contrary, the film is, I think, an utterly serious attempt to understand the nature of relig...
Oliver Reed
[On public reaction to The Devils (1971)] I remember noticing the gleam in [Ken Russell`s] eye while everybody was working away on the set, so I knew something good was going on. What they said afterward was totally incredible. We were regarded as pornogr...
Oliver Reed
If there`s an opportunity to work with Ken Loach, you can`t really turn that down. He`s made some of the finest films of the past 25 years. Whether you like or dislike his movies, there`s never a bad performance in them, ever. There`s none of the bullshit...
Cillian Murphy
Anybody who thinks there`s not a vast right-wing conspiracy in this country must also think that Ken Starr should be our next ambassador to Luxembourg.
Richard Belzer
I was very influenced by Ken Loach`s work from the moment I saw Kes (1969) when I was a kid. It still remains for me one of the most powerful pieces of work ever. Before that, there was Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), This Sporting Life (1963) a...
Daniel Day-Lewis
I am rather surprised that I haven`t made more stories about my own country but it is a mistake to suggest that the biggest influence on my life in terms of movies has been America. It was and remains Ken Loach and his whole body of work, not that I have ...
Daniel Day-Lewis
I bluster my way through, and I sing rather like a rugby forward. Tommy (1975) is an amazing visual film and the music is astonishing. I think for anyone to translate The Who`s music in terms of images, it must be somebody like [Ken Russell]--or a lunatic...
Oliver Reed
You have to ask who would be the best person to take on [Gordon] Brown in a real political maul and score points. As far as I am concerned there is only one man and that is Ken Clarke.
Anthony Morelli
What I want to explore is Ken Jennings as Peter Parker or Clark Kent, Spider-Man or Superman -- the normal man-superhero parallax, the normal, meek guy who, put in a competitive situation, becomes a killer. Think `Price Is Right` with games of skill and i...
Michael Davies
We have seen and heard Ken`s pleas. Thank you for letting Ken make his appeal. All of the family are very grateful to you for his message. They wish you to say to Ken that they love him dearly and are waiting for him to come home soon,

Arturo Vigueras
We have heard what you say and want to continue to listen to you. You have proved to the world that you are committed and determined. Be merciful as we know you can be, ... Release Ken back to his wife and family. We ask you, as a family, to be all mercif...
Arturo Vigueras
We had to learn in just six weeks what geishas spend their whole lives learning. There were seven torture rooms, ... But we were lucky that Kaori and Ken were there to keep an eye on us to make sure we were doing it properly. Please forgive us if we did a...
Michelle Yeoh
To suggest that Mr. Lafond`s documentary on the FLQ crisis makes him a separatist sympathizer is to suggest that Ken Burns` documentary on the Civil War makes him a Confederate secessionist,
Scott Reid
Then I contacted Ken, then he called me back, then we had a great meeting. Then he called and asked if I would come back to the show. Which was awesome.
Austin Peck
the powerful lesson from Enron for me is the power of self delusion and how people rationalise and deceive themselves. And I think when Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling say they are innocent now, as they do with their trial approaching in early 2006, they mean i...
Bethany McLean
President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken O`Donnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat.
Kevin Costner
Most recently Senator Ken Salazar has said he`s going to try and see what he can do, ... I talked with one of his staff the other day and I said that if there was any help I could give them, I`d do it in a New York second.
Jeff Anderson
Most people don`t know who Ken Mehlman is. He`s the chairman of the Republican Party, obviously, but what he`s doing that Howard Dean isn`t doing is spending a lot of time on the nuts and bolts of putting the party together.
