As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in pick...
Because when does anybody really grow up? I mean, I feel more grown up now, more in a place of solidity and peace. But I think a lot of people take on these roles as parents, or husband or wife, and immediately think 'That's it. I'm grown up now. Don...
Sweet Dick Willie: [Radio Raheem walks past blasting Public Enemy on his boombox] Goddamn! Turn that shit off; play some Bobby Blue Bland.
Stu Price: That is not Doug. Mr. Chow: What're you talking about, Willis? That him! Stu Price: No, I'm sorry, Mr. Chow, that's not our friend, he... it's... Alan Garner: The Doug we're looking for is a white.
Indiana Jones: Wear your jewels to bed Princess? Willie: Yeah... and nothing else. Shock you? Indiana Jones: Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.
[Indy signals his intention to cut the rope bridge] Willie: Oh my God. Oh my God, is he nuts? Short Round: He no nuts, he's crazy!
Indiana Jones: We're in trouble! Willie: Trouble? What kind of trouble? Indiana Jones: It's a long story. Better hurry up or you won't get to hear it.
Mickey: How'd you think I'm doing? He's fucking nearly chopped my arm off. [after being attacked by Willie with a machete]
Sam Beauregarde: [yelling] I'm getting even with you for this, Wonka, if it's the last thing I ever do! [mutters in pity] Sam Beauregarde: I've got a blueberry for a daughter...
Mr. Beauregarde: Violet, what are you doing now? You're blowing up! Violet Beauregarde: I feel funny! Grandpa Joe: I'm not surprised.
Tinker: Up the airy mountain, down the rushy glen, we daren't go a hunting, for fear of little men. You see, nobody ever goes in... and nobody ever comes out.
Mike Teevee: Boy, what a great show. Mrs. Teevee: I serve all his TV dinners right here. He's never even been to the table.
Augustus Gloop: [drinking from the chocolate river] Mm, this stuff is terrific. Charlie Bucket: Grandpa, look at Augustus! Grandpa Joe: Don't worry, he can't drink it all.
Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want a boat like this. A beautiful paddle boat is what I want. Grandpa Joe: [to Charlie] What she wants is a good kick in the pants!
Are some women and children going to die? Yeah. But it's doing the right thing. You got money, you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help.
Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice - those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have mo...
I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.
What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an ...
As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my...
I don't know so much about my boys, but my girls, they all work with me. They know how to work. My daughters know it's not done till it's done, even if it's three or four in the morning. I don't want them to grow up with entitlement.
Willie 'Too Big' Hall: You'll never get Matt and Mr. Fabulous out of them high-payin' gigs. Jake: Oh yeah? Well me and the Lord, we have an understanding.
