Even today I meet people who think of me automatically as a tough, insensitive, coarse guy named Stanley Kowalski. They can`t help it, but, it is troubling.
Marlon Brando
[On one of his most famous characters, Stanley Kowalski from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)] "Kowalski was always right, and never afraid. He never wondered, he never doubted. His ego was very secure. And he had the kind of brutal aggressiveness that I h...

Stanley Kubrick was a great artist. I say this all the time and people think I`m being facetious. I`m not. Kubrick was a guy who obsessed over details and did 100 takes, and you know, I don`t feel that way. If I`m shooting a film and it`s 6 o`clock at nig...
Woody Allen
Bad guys stand out in people`s minds. If you think about De Niro or Pacino, you`re not going to stay Stanley and Iris, you are not going to say Author! Author! Even with Brando, you are going to say The Godfather or Street Car. It is the edgier characters...
Ray Liotta
[about Eyes Wide Shut (1999)] We knew from the beginning the level of commitment needed. We felt honored to work with Stanley Kubrick. We were going to do what it took to do this picture, whatever time, because I felt - and Nic [Nicole Kidman] did, too - ...
Tom Cruise
[on director Stanley Kubrick] By the time of "Dr. Strangelove" he had become very human -- maybe it was the power that came with successes like "Lolita" -- for he is now very strong. My first day was torture. I was nervous, scared, did 48 takes. I expecte...
Sterling Hayden
Stanley Kubrick taught me to believe in myself artistically. I spent my 20s raising my children, and wanting to, and being married. That was my driving force. And then he said to me, "No, you have to respect your talent, and give it some space, and give i...
Nicole Kidman
Probably my four favorite directors are Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Stanley Kubrick and Luis Buñuel, because with all of their work you can think beyond the edges of the film. They`re not films that dictate to you, this is what you must think...
Crispin Glover
I have always been a huge fan of Ridley Scott and certainly when I was a kid. Alien, Blade Runner just blew me away because they created these extraordinary worlds that were just completely immersive. I was also an enormous Stanley Kubrick fan for similar...
Christopher Nolan
[On refusing to grant clemency to condemned killer Stanley Tookie Williams] After studying the evidence, searching the history, listening to the arguments and wrestling with the profound consequences, I could find no justification for granting clemency. T...
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Intellectually I`d love to play Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire" . . . Can`t you just imagine me down in the streets yelling, "Stella! Stella!" God, the critics would have a lot of fun with that one.
Roddy McDowall
That movie was all right to make, but you know Stanley likes to do a lot of takes. It gets kind of boring, but when you take a job you do it. (on working with director Stanley Kubrick on "The Shining")

You need players like them to win the Stanley Cup and they certainly deserve this great honor. They earned it through their hard work. I think both of them were great, great team players so I had the good fortune to play with both of them.
Jean Beliveau
We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that`s when you know it`s game over.
Steve Yzerman
The Stanley Williams case is about a man who has done what I think is the most important thing a man can do in this country, and that is reach out to the youth of this country with books, with tapes ...,
Barbara Gann
The quarterback was Condredge Holloway part of the time, but Randy Wallace and Pat Ryan also played. Larry Seivers was my roommate. He was a two-time All-America (receiver) while I was there. Stanley Morgan was a tailback and wingback from South Carolina....
David Parsons
says Stanley Crouch, the writer who long urged Rollins to trust Smith. ``It actually creates a kind of a reevaluation of what we consider musical creativity. When you hear this, these chumps in hip-hop and rock, they`re jokes compared to Sonny Rollins.
Carl Smith
Philly`s the early front-runner for the Stanley Cup. Getting Forsberg is really the icing to their cake. He has had his injury problems, and he did get hurt (last season) in Sweden, but he fits right into their mix.
