Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our go...
Ben Manski
[On accepting the best actor Oscar for `There Will be Blood`] This sprang like a sapling out of the mad, beautiful head of Paul Thomas Anderson.
Daniel Day-Lewis
I`m about to stop filming! I`m a guy that is leaving. And for once, I`m not drunk! I`ve got nothing to lose. I did 170 films, and I`ve got nothing else to prove. I`m not going to keep up like this for ever. I finish in style with film director Thomas Gilo...
Gerard Depardieu
I`ve always liked what Thomas More said in Utopia, which is that in Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right. I thought that was brilliant. Brilliant.
Jude Law
[When asked what it was like to watch Steven Spielberg direct] "It`s like watching Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison. It`s like watching Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods, any genius you can name."
George Lucas
For a while, I was through with acting, and then Alexander Payne called me up and said `Hey, Thomas! I have a script I want you to read! It`ll be great; you get to sleep with my wife!` -referring to Sideways (2004) and his sex scenes with Sandra Oh.
Thomas Haden Church
[on Bill Clinton]: This fellow they`ve nominated claims he`s the new Thomas Jefferson. Well, let me tell you something: I knew Thomas Jefferson. He was a friend of mine. And governor, you`re no Thomas Jefferson.
Ronald Reagan

[on Paul Thomas Anderson]: "Most filmmakers today have no sense of the history of our business, but he knows every shot John Ford made. And he doesn`t lack for confidence. He really knew which shots he wanted to make. I remember the first shot in Boogie N...
Burt Reynolds
I`ve been identified with James Bond or Thomas Crown for so long - suave, elegant, sophisticated men in suits. It`s like you`ve been giving the same performance for 20 years.
Pierce Brosnan
On her nude scenes in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999): "It never really dawned on me that, gee, I`m 45 and I`m taking off my clothes. For me it was a matter of living inside the character."
Rene Russo
(When asked to define his career): "I do what I feel is right at the time. Opportunities come along and I take them or I don`t. I feel happy about what I`m doing, and I work instinctively. I`m doing a Dylan Thomas film, "Map of Love", with Mick Jagger pro...
Dougray Scott
When I see films that go on and on with dialogue, I feel like telling the actors, "Be quiet! Let the audience do some of the work!" (from a 1975 interview with Bob Thomas, Canadian Press)
Glenn Ford
You`re not even allowed to show a bloody nipple. It`s pathetic. What Bond needs is a good, palpable killing sequence and a good sex scene - and it doesn`t have to be graphic, you can use your imagination. We had a good one in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999...
Pierce Brosnan
We want to be accurate. We want to know who the descendants of Thomas Jefferson are. And, if Sally Hemings bore us children. That`s fine. We want them in.
Robert Gillespie
Upper Arlington is the real deal. They have a strong offense. They`re only getting better as the season goes on. They`re coming off a win against Thomas Worthington, which is supposed to be much-improved, and they blew them out. We know that they are goin...
Angel Mehta
There`s one of my new poems actually - is a good example of where my poetry has ended up. My earlier river poetry was more like a cross between Shelley and Dylan Thomas.
Robert Adamson
The myth that John Locke was the philosopher behind the American Republic, is easily refuted by examining how Locke`s philosophy steered Thomas Jefferson, for example.
