[to the Prime Minister, after a fruitless day of failed negotiations between Britain and America] The President: I'll give you anything you ask for - as long as it's not something I don't want to give.
Colin: America, watch out, here comes Colin Frissell! [pauses and turns, holding his hands out as if describing a large fish] Colin: [in a much deeper voice] ... And he's got a big *knob*!
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Wandering around our America has changed me more than I thought. I am not me any more. At least I'm not the same me I was.
Marty Moose: Sorry, folks! We're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sorry, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Deborah Gelly: There's an exit back this way. Noodles, go through it. Keep walking. Don't turn around. Please, Noodles, I'm begging you, please.
[Noodles meets a young man, the spitting image of Max] Deborah Gelly: This is Secretary Bailey's son. His name is David, just like yours.
[Noodles meets Fat Moe after raping his sister Deborah] Noodles: You got any coffee around? Fat Moe: Yes. Noodles: Thanks. [stirs coffee for 60 seconds]
Young Noodles: You'll put up, and you'll shut up! You hear nothing, and you see nothing! Just like you did for Bugsy!
Officer 'Fartface' Whitey: Okay, boys, we're even... Young Noodles: The hell we are! Young Max: You'll be collecting your pension before we're even!
[watching a TV news broadcast about the Bailey Scandal in 1968] Fat Moe: Take the money and run, Noodles. What's keeping you here? Noodles: Curious...
Joe Minaldi: [inspecting diamonds through a loupe] Any trouble? Patrick 'Patsy' Goldberg: No trouble. Kid stuff. [Pulls out a gun and shoots Joe in the eye through the loupe]
Patrick 'Patsy' Goldberg: You know what? You know, I wish I was switched when I was a kid. Noodles: What makes you think you weren't?
[at a restaurant] Noodles: You wanted a place by the ocean. I had it opened. It was closed for the season. All these tables are for two people. Pick whatever one you want.
[about Deborah] Young Noodles: She don't leave me alone, I'm gonna give her what she's asking for...
I'd say the main way people get into terrible financial trouble is just to spend too much money relative to their income, and that is an endemic problem in the United States of America, and that's the kind of thing that should be taught about in scho...
And basically, the sense of the 'Pledge to America' is this: Republicans understand when we were in charge, we got fired in '06. We spent too much money. We defied the trust that the people had put in us. And we know that there is a better way.
Napoleon had been fighting this army of slaves and free people in Haiti and it depleted his forces. And after the Revolution, when the French were driven out, they stopped and sold this big chunk of North America to the Americans for very little mone...
I made 'Siam Sunset.' In Australia, it was pretty much universally hated, but I did notice that almost any American who saw it loved that film, so in 2001 I made a film in America called 'Swimfan,' and they released like a big studio movie, and it ma...
I am pretty sure central banks will continue to print money, and the standards of living for people in the western world, not just in America, will continue to decline because the cost of living increases will exceed income. The cost of living will a...
People expected 'Jennifer's Body' to make so much money. But I was doubtful. The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America. It's obviously a girl-power movie, but it's also about ho...
Just by the nature of making the choice to be true to who I am, I'm political. Sometimes that's all you need to do: Show up and be black, gay and Christian in America and actually say it out loud. And refuse to let anything or anybody take that away ...
