Being a leading man on a film set under the direction of somebody like Dickie Attenborough [Richard Attenborough, director of Gandhi (1982)] is very empowering, and you have to be extremely careful how you use that power.

When I was with [David Winters] I had an awesome time. I met a lot of people and had a lot of fun at that point. I went to see my first play. I saw Richard Chamberlain in `Cyrano De Bergerac,` I saw `Grease` in Manhattan. I saw the Alvin Ailey Dancers. I ...

[Talking about director Richard Fleischer] The first day Fleischer came to see me work out, he told me, "Arnold, could you put on some more muscles?" I couldn`t believe it! It turned out that Fleischer thought [John Milius`] decision to keep Conan clothed...

The only way to get 520,000 men home - men who had been practically sneaked into Vietnam in the first place - was to make the decision to mine Haiphong Harbor. President [Richard Nixon] had the courage to make that decision, and when the other side starte...
John Wayne
[on Richard Gere] He`s got a pin-up image, which he hates. The only trouble is this: whenever they ask him to take his trousers off, he does.
Michael Caine
[On Richard Harris] Richard is very much the professional Irishman. I found him a somewhat erratic personality and an occasional pain in the posterior. But we certainly never feuded.

Richard is 30, and I`m 26. But the letters we got when we said we weren`t virgins, read as though we had committed a crime. People must have been dumb to have believed that we were that good.

There`s an interesting parallel between Bush (George W. Bush) and Richard Nixon. While Nixon (Richard Nixon) was clearly a superior statesman and in many ways a more intelligent politician, what they share is a kind of boldness in how they emote their ins...

When I grew up, being gay, being a sissy or anything like that was verboten. I disliked myself intensely and feared this part of myself intensely and had to hide it and became `Perfect Richard, All-American Boy` as a place to hide.
Richard Chamberlain
[On her The Night of the Iguana (1964) co-star Richard Burton] Richard Burton drank so much at night that the next morning the alcohol literally oozed out of his pores. He gave off a terrible odor-playing a scene with him could be most unpleasant.

(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
We used to hang out at Joss`s place Sunday nights and do Shakespeare readings. I got to do my Richard III recently. Then we`d have a few tequilas, sit around the piano and sing. I talked to Joss years ago about doing a Buffy musical, and then finally in t...
Anthony Head
Nobody`s good. I hate it. I truly hate it. I mean, there`s a lot of guys doing stuff I admire, but stand-up-wise I feel very alone. I really miss [Bill] Hicks. I wish I could have put him on my show. And I really miss Sam [Kinison] a lot. Richard [Pryor]`...
Chris Rock
[at Harvard in 1974, on being asked whether then-President Richard Nixon ever advised him on the making of his films] No, they`ve all been successful.
John Wayne
On Terrence Malick, whom he admires: It`s so strange; I never knew what happened to him. I saw Richard Gere in New Orleans one time, and I said, "What ever happened to Terry Malick?" And he said, "Everybody asks me that." He said, "I have no idea." But la...
Cormac McCarthy
[Richard Nixon]`s a conservative... and if he became President, we could expect Republican policy would switch to the right.... He is a filthy, lying son-of-a-bitch, and a very dangerous man.

There were a few times where I could have worked with my father (Richard Harris) at the beginning. One of them was in The Field (1990) - they couldn`t find someone to play the son and they offered the part to me. But my father and I didn`t think it was a ...
Jared Harris
Probably Shakespeare. I did Othello in college, and Richard III, and those are the two roles I`d like to revisit. Movies? There`s a couple I wish I hadn`t done. I won`t say which ones, but there are a couple of mistakes there. - on what roles he`d like to...

Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.

[on Robert Aldrich] I loved Aldrich. Very saddened by his passing. Richard Jaeckel was a good friend of his. He went to see him on his last stretch in the hospital. He was in a coma much of the time. And Jaeckel asks if there is anything he can get him. A...
Lee Marvin
[on Katharine Hepburn] I worship that bloody woman. I`ve never enjoyed working with anyone so much in my whole life, not even Richard Burton. There were no problems, not a one.
Peter O`Toole
[December 1973] They`re trying to crucify Nixon [Richard Nixon], but when they`re writing the history of this period, Watergate will be no more than a footnote. Believe me, I have a high respect for the bulldogged way in which our President has been able ...
