The extremes of glory and of shame, Like east and west, become the same No Indian prince has to his palace - More followers than a thief to the gallows
Samuel Butler
In much of the West, the well educated have been taught to believe that they can know nothing and that they can draw no independent conclusions about truth, unless they cite a study and "experts" have affirmed it. "Studies show" is to the modern secular c...
Dennis Prager
Of course we`ve been fighting against stereotypes from Day One at East West. That`s the reason we formed: to combat that, and to show we are capable of more than just fulfilling the stereotypes -- waiter, laundryman, gardener, martial artist, villain.

One of the proud moments for us was Robert Wise, who directed Sound of Music and West Side Story, he is the great-great grandfather of musical cinema and he said, I`ve seen Moulin Rouge and the musical has been re-invented." I bring this up because you ge...
Baz Luhrmann
As a culture, the West has found itself in a strange, not battle of the genders, but battle in one`s own gender. There`s been so much equalizing that we`ve all kind of lost a little sense of who and what we`re about, and a certain amount of definitions of...
Jude Law
I grew up in the mid-west. You don`t ask what a person`s religion is, you don`t ask what their politics are, you don`t ask how much money they make and I pretty much still have that attitude about it. It`s none of anybody`s business and I don`t advantage ...
Harrison Ford
[on Elvis Presley`s inner-circle crew] Well, they were yes men. They overlooked his excesses and the chemicals he was taking. For a Cadillac, they would say the right thing. I said, "God forbid that day comes that you die, Elvis. Red West is gonna write a...
Connie Francis
The good thing about bicycling is that, since I`m a public figure, I don`t have to interact with people. If I walk from here to West Broadway, 50 people will stop me. On my bike, I can just wave. More public figures should ride bikes. It`s a good way to d...
Vincent Gallo
My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I`ve had as an actor was when `Wild Wild West` opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn`t good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie, to open at $52 million and to know the movie wasn`t good.
Will Smith
I adored Mr. Clinton. And he was a fan of The West Wing. For a while we were given carte Blanche at the White House, which ended when Bush got in - ended for me anyway. When the new administration got into power, all my West Wing colleagues were invited t...

Actually, I--this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I`m talking about--when I`m talking about myself, and when he`s talking about myself, all of us are talking about me.
George W. Bush
Initially, I wasn`t offered the part. I was walking up the beach in Willowbridge, the British West Indies on Christmas Eve and saw this guy who I know peripherally. He`s not in the film industry, but in Philadelphia real estate or something like that. He ...
Kevin Bacon
Every country in the world loved the folklore of the West - the music, the dress, the excitement, everything that was associated with the opening of a new territory. It took everybody out of their own little world. The cowboy lasted a hundred years, creat...
John Wayne
[about Mae West] I do think she was a spectacular talent. There`s no question she was a comedic genius, but I did, in person, actually feel like she was some kind of a dockworker in drag.
Raquel Welch
I was born in Vancouver, moved to Los Angeles and when my parents split up, gradually moved back up the west coast. I was able to pack a lot of experience into my 19 years. My parents getting divorced was obviously a very traumatic experience. And then af...
Joshua Jackson
In the July 4, 2001 Newswatch, Wild West End column: "There was one woman whom I was absolutely infatuated with, but she had no interest in me. I was very young at the time and thought the way to prove my love was to write a book for her. It ran for pages...
James Purefoy
(From "The Wild Wild West" (1965)) "We always put in lot more (fighting) than we really wanted to see. (The censors) would say:`We`re going to take out two punches...two of this...three of that...` So when they finished,we were still left with what we rea...
Robert Conrad
The West has always been the epicenter of possibility. One of the ways we forge against mortality is to head west. It`s to do with catching the sun before it slips behind the horizon. We all keep moving toward the sun, wishing to get the last ray of hope ...

Balian [Orlando Bloom`s character in Kingdom of Heaven (2005)] is an agnostic, just like me. I am not fighting another holy war here, I am trying to get across the fact that not everyone in the West is a good guy, and not all Muslims are bad. The tragedy ...
Ridley Scott
[Notre Dame University. 17 May, 1981]: The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we`ll ...
Ronald Reagan
I`ve spent a lot of time in LA and I love it. A lot of Brits can`t stand the place, but I like the west coast attitude and the way people celebrate success.
