With various people complaining about "price gouging”... economist Walter Williams has coined a new term: "Tax gouging." But government is never accused of either "greed" or "gouging" — not even when they bulldoze people`s homes in order to turn the l...
Thomas Sowell
I agree with Walter Murch`s theory that digital will never have the emotional or visual power of regular film, because audiences respond to absences. Regular film has a split second of blank screen between each shot, which the audience`s brain has to auto...
Natalie Portman
[on Walter Wanger] Walter Wanger was a man who always wanted to be European. He didn`t know how to be European but he wanted to be European so "The Reckless Moment" was rather the kind of film -- I suppose, like "Brief Encounter" -- that he was trying to ...

James Mason
[On The Boys from Brazil (1978)] "I felt, Laurence Olivier felt, friends of mine like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon felt, that I was good in this part. Some critics seem unwilling to accept actors when they break what they think is the mold or the image....
Gregory Peck
[in a 1984 debate, referring to Walter Mondale]: I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent`s youth and inexperience.
Ronald Reagan
No, I don`t think my fans want to see me old and fat. I`ve got to get another 20-25 lbs. off somehow - remember me as I looked when I was younger. I get sad when I see my favorite movie stars when they`re old. Who wants to see Jack Lemmon and Walter Matth...
Bettie Page
(On the most interesting actor he has worked with) "Mickey Rourke, I thought, was really interesting. I did a movie called Johnny Handsome that Walter Hill directed. I had a scene with Mickey in which he says goodbye to me, and I learned something very po...
Forest Whitaker
I`d say between 3 pm and 8 pm I look great. After that it`s all downhill. Don`t photograph me in the morning or you`re gonna get Walter Brennan.
Sylvester Stallone
I suppose I was just window-dressing at MGM. You might call me Taylor`s dummy. I wore Walter Plunkett`s costumes beautifully though. I was the last of the Englishmen, after Edmund Purdom and Stewart Granger, both of whom had been giving them trouble in Ho...
Roger Moore
[on his father Walter Huston] I hate stars. They`re not actors. I`ve been around actors all my life and I like them, but I never had an actor as a friend. Except Dad. And Dad never thought of himself as an actor. But the best actor I ever worked with was ...
John Huston
[about Red Heat (1988)] I told Walter Hill, "I`ll do a walk-on for you, or a starring role, I don`t care". He made me a film actor. He said, "Fine, now you`re a film actor" in Southern Comfort (1981), and it was one of the best roles I ever had. I told Wa...

[on his long friendship with Dr. Dre] I think me and Dre are gonna be like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. When we get really old, I`ll probably be having gray braids.
Snoop Dogg
You can see the progress we are making under Walter and if we can match that work rate and spirit with a bit more quality in terms of retaining the ball and creating chances, then we can go far as a team.
Anthony Kostelecky
Walter told me as long as I kept scoring goals and kept up my level of performance I had nothing to worry about. Fortunately I managed to score a couple of goals against Motherwell last weekend and another one against Inverness on Sunday so that was a dec...
Lee Miller
My mother was born in your state, Mr. Walter, and my mother was a Quaker, and my ancestors in the time of Washington baked bread for George Washington`s troops when they crossed the Delaware, and my own father was a slave.
Paul Robeson
My breakthrough as a reader was when I discovered the European adventure story writers - Alexander Dumas, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, to name a few.
Terry Brooks
Most of the media... is positioning the merger with Compaq and the recent actions by Walter Hewlett and David Packard as a fight between the past and the future.
Alan Brody
Literally, while I was writing, the town eccentrics were looking over my shoulder, asking about what I was writing, listening to my explanations, offering their two cents. It had gotten around town pretty quickly that what Walter was doing inside his hous...
Walter Kirn
I`ve been playing since `93 so that`s the game I play the most, ... I make sure I get it every year. It was on Genesis in `93, `94 and `95. That`s when you could get Walter Payton; you could get Chicago `85, no problem. You couldn`t tackle `Sweetness.`
Ryan Gomes
I would like to see them say, `Hey, Walter Forbes is clean. He is a good guy. He`s got a decent idea here, and we need to keep him around.` Or, `Hey, Walter Forbes is no longer part of this company,`
