Martin Luther King challenged the conscience of my generation, and his words and his legacy continue to move generations to action today at home and around the world. His love and faith is alive in millions of Americans who volunteer each day in soup kitc...
Senator John Kerry
You don`t need to be Catholic to be Catholic anymore. If you dissent, you don`t get out. Martin Luther looks like a prince compared to these people because he knew when it was time to go.
James P. McFadden
[On his strengths and weaknesses]: "I regret that I do not have the dignity of Ricardo Montalban, the class of Dean Martin, or the humour of Bill Cosby. I DO have the heart of a lion.
Burt Reynolds
[On why he makes films about Irish-Americans] "I feel Irish-Americans are the forgotten minority group. Nobody else is making films about them. You have Woody Allen and Paul Mazursky making films about Jewish-Americans, you have Martin Scorsese and Franci...

Ultimately the atomic physicists - [`Albert Einstein (I)`, Niels Bohr, [Prof. Dr. Martin Heisenberg] - all agreed that science couldn`t answer the mystery of the universe. So I was impressed with all that. Once it gets organized - even if it`s Buddhism or...
Harry Stanton
[About playing Sergeant John W Martin in Band Of Brothers] "The more I spoke to John, the more I realised that we were telling a real story. We had a serious responsibility. We owed it to these men to produce something more than sentimental schlock."
Dexter Fletcher
[New York Times interview, Oct. 16, 2005]: I regret turning down the lead role in Alice Doesn`t Live Here Anymore (1974) which Ellen Burstyn deservedly won an Oscar for. I said to myself: "Who is this Martin Scorsese person?".
Shirley MacLaine
Other comedy teams never generated anything like the hysteria that [Dean Martin] and I did, and that was because we had that X factor--the powerful feeling between us. And it really was an X factor, a kind of mystery.
Jerry Lewis
On the making of Taxi Driver (1976): "You rarely have a director like Martin Scorsese or a co-star like Robert De Niro, who rehearses and rehearses until you get the feeling that for the time you`re with him he is the character. It`s so real it`s frighten...
Jodie Foster
(On Scorsese) Martin doesn`t have to convince me about anything. I can only say that I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Marty once in their lifetime. If you get it twice, it`s a privilege that you don`t necess...
Daniel Day-Lewis
Sammy [Sammy Davis Jr.] was really good friends with Peter Brown. Peter got married to a French girl, Yvette. He had this little ceremony in this church in Beverly Hills. Sammy . . . and Dean Martin were there. Dean Martin fell sound asleep just before Pe...

I trusted Martin Bashir to come into my life and that of my family because I wanted the truth to be told. Martin Bashir persuaded me to trust him that his would be an honest and fair portrayal of my life and told me that he was the man that turned Diana`s...

Michael Jackson
[His reaction to his Oscar-nomination for The Departed (2006)]: Any time someone says you have an opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese you jump at the chance.
Mark Wahlberg
(On The Da Vinci Code) I`d love to make a movie that shakes the world and offends people, but I really. Didn`t think it was going to be this one. I think next to The Last Temptation of Christ it`s Tonka Toys. Nobody seemed to get offended by Martin Scorse...
Paul Bettany
(When asked about her complexion during her "Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In" (1968) days) "I`ve never had a pimple in my whole life - and that`s the truth".
Lily Tomlin
[on working with Martin Sheen on "Badlands"] Martin Sheen was extraordinary. He`s a very gifted man. He`s from a working class family, so he had all the moods down for the film. And when he wasn`t before the cameras, he was helping in the background, wrap...

Terrence Malick
One`s a born liar, the other`s convicted. Martin in 1978 about Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner. The remark got him fired as the Yankees manager.
Billy Martin
(About "Grounded for life"): Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.
Donal Logue
Among today`s directors I`m of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese [Martin Scorsese], and Coppola [Francis Ford Coppola], even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they`re passionat...
Ingmar Bergman
I am very proud to have done that. Ricky Martin was so sweet, like so not what I ever expected. And, it definitely helped me get back on my feet financially. - on starring in Ricky Martin`s video for "She`s All I Ever Had."

Charlotte Ayanna
On working with Martin Scorsese in Gangs of New York (2002): "He`s a perfectionist, obsessed with detail. That`s why he went over budget and over schedule."
Leonardo DiCaprio
On Martin Scorsese: "Martin has brought so much to the art form of film, and he is not the type of person who would be upset by not receiving an Oscar, although it is a practical joke that he has not won an Academy Award after all these years. Whatever op...

I`ve never been accepted as that conventional artist. Whatever you say about David Lynch or Martin Scorsese, they are considered major film artists and nobody can argue with that. I`ve never had that. I`ve had people say it about me. And I`ve had people s...
