[first lines] Marty McFly: Doc! Doc! Doc! Young Doc: [not paying attention] What? Marty McFly: Doc! Young Doc: What? Marty McFly: Doc! Young Doc: [finally seeing him] Aaaah! Marty McFly: Okay, relax, Doc, it's me! It's me, It's Marty! Young Doc: No, ...
The young people think that the old people are fools; but the old people know that the young people are fools!
Like all young men, you greatly exaggerate the difference between one young woman and another.
But John Landis wrote a good relationship which is really what the film's about. A very straightforward young woman who's very sure of herself and she meets a young man who needs some taking care of.
I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life, and to say things to the world that are true.
I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.
I am fond of depicting the lives of young folks for one thing, and if you have parts for girls or young men, you must absolutely have young people to fill them - that is generally acknowledged now.
I think there are always actor parts, and then there are movie-star parts, and an actor's always an actor until he does a movie-star part.
I don't actually like blocking actors. I prefer giving actors freedom. They don't have to step on a precise mark with me. Instead of giving marks to the actors I like to give marks to the camera.
People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.
The thing is, I love a great death scene - no good actor doesn't. Sorry, any actor, I should say.
There are so many stage actors on TV but you wouldn't know they were stage actors. And film and TV actors are going to the stage as well, so the crossover is great now.
I didn't become an actor to make money. And I didn't become an actor to be famous - though people always gasp if you say that, as if it's unfathomable that an actor doesn't want to be a star.
The crossover wasn't happening. TV actors were TV actors, and film and stage actors were a whole different thing. And now there's just a lot of crossover.
You can't get an actor to do something that is beyond his range, so you have to be aware of the range of the actor and, if necessary, alter the part to suit the actor.
For me, some of the happiest moments on a live-action film are the awkward moments. One actor says something to another actor. They didn't expect that performance from that actor; that affects their return performance.
Scar: Now you wait here. Your father has a *marvelous* surprise for you. Young Simba: Oooh. What is it? Scar: If I told you, it wouldn't *be* a surprise, now would it? Young Simba: If you tell me, I'll still *act* surprised. Scar: Ho ho ho. You are s...
Young Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late. Young Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year. Young Allie: You wrote me? Young Noah: Yes... it wasn't o...
Young Max: From here on, we establish the shared funds of the gang. They belong to all of us together, and to none of us alone. And we solemnly swear to put in 50 per cent of everything we make. Agreed? Young Noodles, Young Cockeye, Young Patsy, D...
Praise the young and they will blossom.
I had to work from a young age.
