We'd had a beautiful relationship over the phone all summer long. Then she came home and we met to go out for the first time to the movies. When I saw her I was petrified. I couldn't even look her in the eye to talk to her.</span><br />

It was pretty terrifying. I got beat up a lot. I saw people have sex in the alleys. I remember I was five years old, and this guy with a trench coat, needles and crack cornered me. Early on, seeing the devastation on my block, seeing heroin addicts, made me think twice about ever getting involved in drugs. It's evil. Once you take that step and experiment, drugs can take over your life. You are not yourself anymore. That's something I never wanted. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. It was kind of just me and my parents. But because of them, the neighborhood did not have a bad effect on me. My dad introduced me to artists, and every few months we'd go to some hippie doo-dah parade as Mudmen in our underwear, carrying sticks and covered in mud. My mother did everything to get me into the best schools she could find.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856079375020177769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945263174991294078.post-73153065979836121812014-09-05T15:34:00.002+04:002014-09-05T15:34:56.030+04:00Robert Downey Personal quotes 2 <div class="soda odd" style="background-color: #f6f6f5; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; padding: 8px 12px;">
The great thing about <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072562?ref_=nmbio_qu_13" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Saturday Night Live</a> (1975) was being at 30 Rockefeller Center. And having Belushi and Aykroyd's old office. And me and Michael [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001309?ref_=nmbio_qu_13" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Anthony Michael Hall</a>] saying, "We want bunk beds. With NFL Sheets. And we want them now." And Michael was like "Man, it's gonna be great, we're gonna be buddies, we're gonna do a show together, we're gonna ..." Then, "I'm gonna do <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091706?ref_=nmbio_qu_13" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Out of Bounds</a> (1986)" and he left.

So I'd fly back to Los Angeles for a couple of days during the week to shoot the movie and then fly back and, "Live from New York, it's a tired young man!"</div>

And then they cut my scenes out. You don't even see me except in one scene - you see me in the background until this self-indulgent actress leans forward to try and get more camera time. They cut all my scenes out and my friends go, "Hey, Robert - maybe it's you!" Now I don't tell people that I'm in a film until I see it on videocassette.</div>

[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000576?ref_=nmbio_qu_21" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Sean Penn</a>] In a relatively short time he was a better friend than some people I'd known for ages. I remember him saying three or four years ago, "You have two reputations. I think you know what both of them are, and I think you'd do well to get rid of one of those reputations. If you don't, it will get rid of the other one." And I was like, "Two reputations, I'll be right back." Just hearing him say that reminded me that I should go score. After that, he was like, forget it. It sucks, too, because someone as honorable as he is, I really should have responded. Jesus, I grew up idolizing this guy. Not only does he consider me a friend, but he's taking time. He's got a family. He's got a career that's going well. He's living his dreams and making time for me, and I'm like, "I can't, I just can't - sorry, busy."</div>

As soon as I started smoking heroin instead of smoking coke, everything was different, and I knew it was. And it happened around the time I was doing <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113321?ref_=nmbio_qu_22" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Home for the Holidays</a>(1995). Home for the Holidays is, for me, one of the most relaxed performances in the history of cinema. I can't attribute that to the fact that I was at a serene place in my life, or that there was a real warm feeling on the set. This is a problem for me because I glamorize this stuff. I can't say that it wasn't real dark, real evil and real hurtful to those around me. And yet, practically every take of that film was a print. God bless <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000149?ref_=nmbio_qu_22" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Jodie Foster</a>. When does she have time to do a handwritten letter telling someone how she genuinely cares about them? She said, "Listen, I'm not worried about you on this film. You're not losing it or nodding out, and you're giving a great performance. I'm worried about your thinking you can get away with doing this on another film."</div>

[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103939?ref_=nmbio_qu_23" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Chaplin</a> (1992)] When I accepted the part, they didn't tell me that I also had to do the acrobatic stuff of Charlie. That has cost me a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Though I now can say, 'I did all my stunts myself.' Working on Chaplin was really intensive and cost me years of my life, but if I could do it all over again, no doubt I would do it the same way.</div>
<div class="soda even" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; padding: 8px 12px;">
[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103939?ref_=nmbio_qu_24" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Chaplin</a> (1992)] Chaplin was the culmination of an opportunity, and the biggest humiliation I've ever experienced. It was like winning the lottery, then going to prison. I realized that nothing that had worked for me before was going to work here. I'd watch one of Charlie's films, but by the end of it I was wildly depressed, because I realized that what he'd done in this twenty-minute short was more expressive and funnier than everything I've thought about doing my whole life.</div>

You've had a traumatic year, you've been practically suicidal - what do you think would be really healing for you? How about like twelve weeks of running around as Johnny Handgun? I think that if you talk to a spirit guide, they would say, 'That'll kill you.'</div>

It would end up being really depressing. I'd rather wake up in jail for a TB test than have to wake up another morning knowing I'm going to the set of US Marshals.</div>

So I actually have taken <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1228705?ref_=nmbio_qu_30" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Iron Man 2</a> (2010) probably more seriously than any movie I've ever done, which is appropriately ridiculous for Hollywood.</div>

The best part was when Mel gave me a motorcycle while we still had two weeks left to shoot. I go, 'Are you trying to ruin this movie? What if I have an accident?' He goes, 'No, no.

[His Golden Globe acceptance speech for Best Actor-Comedy or Musical] If you start playing violins, I will tear this joint apart. First of all, I want to thank my wife <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1206265?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Susan Downey</a> for telling me <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000354?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Matt Damon</a> was going to win so don't bother to prepare a speech. That was at about ten AM. I don't have anybody to thank. I'm sorry. Everyone's been so gratuitous, it was a collaboration, we all did this together. Certainly not going to thank Warner Brothers, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0394787?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Alan Horn</a>, and my god, robbing off these guys.

If they didn't have me, we didn't have a shot buddy. What am I going to do? I'm not going to be able to thank <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005428?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Joel Silver</a>. I mean the guy has only restarted my career twelve times since I began twenty-five years ago. I really don't want to thank my wife because I could be busing tables at the daily groom right now if not for her. Jesus, what a gig that would be. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005363?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Guy Ritchie</a> had a great vision for this film and a lot of great people came together and we worked our asses off. It's just a privilege. The Hollywood Foreign Press has a quote by Sir <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236279?ref_=nmbio_qu_33" style="color: #70579d; text-decoration: none;">Arthur Conan Doyle</a>, who was a genius by the way, and he said "Art is the blood, Is libel to take to the strongest forms". That is also why I would like to thank, or not thank, the Hollywood Foreign Press because they are a strange bunch of people and now I'm one of them. Thank you.</div>

What I usually hate about these movies when suddenly the guy that you were digging turns into Dudley Do-Right, and then you're supposed to buy into all his "Let's go do some good!

While attempting to travel to St. Petersburg, Russia to attend the International Tiger Conservation Forum as a guest of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), but he was held up not once, but twice by flights. The first, Delta Flight 30, which departed from JFK bound for Moscow, was forced to make an emergency landing back at JFK shortly after takeoff due to engine flame out and malfunction, later his replacement flight had to make an unscheduled landing in Helsinki, Finland to refuel due to strong winds over the Atlantic ocean that used up the plane's fuel. Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, who hosted the event, acknowledged that a lesser man, "could have read it as a sign - that it was not worth going," but instead Leo, who's late grandparents were Russian, made it to the summit and gained Putin's respect. The summit's aim is to double wild tiger populations worldwide from 3,500 to 7,000 by 2022. While in St. Petersburg, DiCaprio committed $1 million to WWF for urgent tiger conservation efforts through his Fund at the California Community Foundation. [November 2010]</div>

I'm an old-fashioned guy . . . I want to be an old man with a beer belly sitting on a porch, looking at a lake or something.<br />
<br />
[when asked by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0513851/?ref_=nmbio_qu_15">James Lipton</a> on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169455/?ref_=nmbio_qu_15">Inside the Actors Studio</a> (1994) what attracts him to funny hats] I don't know, maybe I just read too much <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317450/?ref_=nmbio_qu_15">Dr. Seuss</a> as a kid.<br />
<br />
[asked if he is a romantic] Am I a romantic? I've seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032145/?ref_=nmbio_qu_16">Wuthering Heights</a> (1939) ten times. I'm a romantic.<br />
<br />
[about being dragged behind a carriage in the woods on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162661/?ref_=nmbio_qu_17">Sleepy Hollow</a> (1999)] I wasn't afraid of getting hurt. I was just afraid that the horses may relieve themselves on the journey.<br />
<br />
I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.<br />
<br />
When kids hit one year old, it's like hanging out with a miniature drunk. You have to hold onto them. They bump into things. They laugh and cry. They urinate. They vomit.<br />
<br />
This is a rumor-filled society and if people want to sit around and talk about whom I've dated, then I'd say they have a lot of spare time and should consider other topics... or masturbation.<br />
<br />
The character I've played, that I've responded to, there has been a lost-soul quality to them.<br />
<br />
Sure, I find it touching, honestly, but awards are not as important to me as when I meet a ten-year-old kid who says, "I love Captain Jack Sparrow" . . . that's real magic for me.<br />
<br />
The term "serious actor" is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? [Like] "Republican party" "airplane food".<br />
<br />
On a film you start to get closer and closer with the people you're working with, and it becomes like this circus act or this travelling family.<br />
<br />
If you turn on the television and see the horrors that are happening to people in the world right now, I think there's no better time to strive to have some kind of hope through imagination. I think it's a time to close your eyes and try to make a change, or at least hope to make a change, or we're going to explode.<br />
<br />
I suppose nowadays it's all a question of surgery, isn't it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old.<br />
<br />
All the little films I've done that were perceived by Hollywood as these obscure, weird things, I always thought could appeal to a larger audience. I mean, box office is such a mystery to me that I can't . . . you know . . . I have enough trouble doing my own gig.<br />
<br />
[asked why he hides his looks behind strange wigs, fake teeth and girly squeals] I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time . . . it's meat loaf again . . . you'd get bored. I'd get bored.<br />
<br />
We had been shooting [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/?ref_=nmbio_qu_29">Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</a> (2005)] for about a month, and I was beginning to get nervous because there weren't any phone calls. I called my agent and asked, "Has no one called from the studio to complain or say, 'Hey, what's he doing?' or 'Hey, he's freaking us out?' " And when she said, "No", I thought, "Christ, I'm not doing enough! Something's wrong!" Then some of the studio brass came over to the set, and they were sitting in my trailer and I was all decked out as Wonka with the little bangs. And I just had to know. So I said, "Okay, who was the first one, when you started seeing the dailies, that got a little worried?" And there was this beautiful 30-second silence. And [Warner Bros. president] <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1034839/?ref_=nmbio_qu_29">Alan Horn</a> finally said, "Yeah, that was me". I felt better instantly.<br />
<br />
[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000698/?ref_=nmbio_qu_30">Gene Wilder</a>'s comment on the remake of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067992/?ref_=nmbio_qu_30">Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory</a>(1971)] Hearing about that was disappointing, but I can understand where he's coming from, I guess. The one thing I didn't understand was that apparently he was quoted as saying, "Well, they just did this for money". Well, hey, man, where have you been? When didn't they ever do anything for money? Nobody's ever made a film in the history of cinema where they weren't expecting some return on their dough.<br />
<br />
[on his daughter, Lily-Rose] I see this amazing, beautiful, pure angel-thing wake up in the morning, and nothing can touch that. She is the only reason to wake up in the morning, the only reason to take a breath. Everything else is checkers.<br />
<br />
[on director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000318/?ref_=nmbio_qu_32">Tim Burton</a>] He can ask me everything. If he wants me to have sex with an aardvark in one of his next movies, then I will do that.<br />
<br />
[on reactions to his directorial debut] You know what was traumatizing, what was very, very strange in terms of this film I directed a few years back called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118768/?ref_=nmbio_qu_33">The Brave</a> (1997). Well, I guess I wouldn't say traumatizing, but I would say weird: at the premiere of the film the reception of it was beyond any expectation that I had. I had no idea I'd be looking at [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000934/?ref_=nmbio_qu_33">Bernardo Bertolucci</a>] or [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000774/?ref_=nmbio_qu_33">Michelangelo Antonioni</a>] sitting there watching my film. And then to receive the applause that my film got, it was so incredible. And then the next day the majority of the American press just turn it into this horrible thing. Once again, everybody is entitled to their opinion, man. Maybe it's a bad film? Maybe it's a good film? To me it's just a film. It's something I needed to make.<br />
<br />
I started out as a guitarist in the early '80s. I hooked up with a guy who idolized <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000015/?ref_=nmbio_qu_34">James Dean</a> and he gave me a copy of the Dean biography, "The Mutant King", which I thought was really interesting. While reading the book I watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048545/?ref_=nmbio_qu_34">Rebel Without a Cause</a> (1955), and I thought, "Wow, this guy really has something", and I was hooked. I wasn't really into acting at the time - but James Dean was the catalyst.<br />
<br />
I don't have a mental picture of the houses we lived in because there were so many.<br />
<br />
[on being an uncle] My sister Christi had a baby when I was 17, and I had just heard about crib death. The horrible thing was that it wasn't understood. For some unknown reason the baby would stop breathing. So I would sneak into where the baby was sleeping and put my hand in her crib, hold her little finger, and I'd sleep on the floor like that. It was stupid, I'm sure. But I thought the warmth of my hand might help, that maybe if she felt my pulse it would remind her to breathe.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000008/?ref_=nmbio_qu_37">Marlon Brando</a> is maybe the greatest actor of the last two centuries. But his mind is much more important than the acting thing. The way that he looks at things, doesn't judge things, the way that he assesses things. He's as important as, uh... who's important today? Jesus, not many people... <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0370071/?ref_=nmbio_qu_37">Stephen Hawking</a>!<br />
<br />
There's nothing - you know - nothing else like music. Nothing that touches us on that, uh, that deep level. Music can open up so many emotions that we didn't know we had. It's the magical thing about musicals, you know, on the stage or on film or whatever. Love songs. They work so well because music touches us, emotionally, where words alone can't.<br />
<br />
As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because he never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away all my ambition, too.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856079375020177769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945263174991294078.post-61518184299882417202014-06-26T22:50:00.002+04:002014-06-26T22:50:38.687+04:00Johnny Depp was allergic to chocolate when he was child Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" (#1).<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So he suggested to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001675/?ref_=nmbio_trv_30">Robert Rodriguez</a> that he play a small part, the priest that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000104/?ref_=nmbio_trv_30">Antonio Banderas</a> talks to in the church, and use his<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000008/?ref_=nmbio_trv_30">Marlon Brando</a> impression.<br /><br />Reportedly based his portrayal of "Ichabod Crane" in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162661/?ref_=nmbio_trv_31">Sleepy Hollow</a> (1999) on "Withnail" from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094336/?ref_=nmbio_trv_31">Withnail & I</a> (1987), as played by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001290/?ref_=nmbio_trv_31">Richard E.

Both of them appeared in the first <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/?ref_=nmbio_trv_42">A Nightmare on Elm Street</a> (1984), and both had played characters with blades for hands: Englund as Freddy Krueger, and Depp as the title character in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099487/?ref_=nmbio_trv_42">Edward Scissorhands</a> (1990). And, strangely, both of them were born in June, with their birthdays three days apart, and they share the same height, which is 5' 10".<br /><br />A movie buff with a somewhat encyclopedic knowledge of older films, he admits he watches few movies anymore, other than the children's films that his "kiddies" prefer. He also enjoys most of them.<br /><br />Loves watching animated films with his daughter such as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126029/?ref_=nmbio_trv_44">Shrek</a> (2001) and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266543/?ref_=nmbio_trv_44">Finding Nemo</a>(2003).<br /><br />Co-owns a restaurant/club in Paris called Man Ray (named after avant-garde artist <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712915/?ref_=nmbio_trv_45">Man Ray</a>) with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000576/?ref_=nmbio_trv_45">Sean Penn</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000518/?ref_=nmbio_trv_45">John Malkovich</a>.

Wood Jr.</a> as a cross between <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001654/?ref_=nmbio_trv_48">Ronald Reagan</a> (the wobbly-headed thing), the Tin Man from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032138/?ref_=nmbio_trv_48">The Wizard of Oz</a> (1939), and the voice of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0440487/?ref_=nmbio_trv_48">Casey Kasem</a>.<br /><br />Dropped out of high school at age 16 to pursue a career as a musician.<br /><br />As a teen, he and his punk rock/New Wave band "The Kids" opened for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006563/?ref_=nmbio_trv_50">Iggy Pop</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0243686/?ref_=nmbio_trv_50">Duran Duran</a>, and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3058980/?ref_=nmbio_trv_50">The B-52's</a>, among others.<br /><br />As a child, he was allergic to chocolate.</div>

<br /><br />[on the money he makes] You use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren't allowed to be normal.<br /><br />I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do.<br /><br />[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001637/?ref_=nmbio_qu_4">Vincent Price</a>] One of the most incredible moments I've ever had was sitting in Vincent's trailer . . . I was showing him this first-edition book I have of the complete works of [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000590/?ref_=nmbio_qu_4">Edgar Allan Poe</a>], with really amazing illustrations. Vincent was going nuts over the drawings, and he started talking about <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059821/?ref_=nmbio_qu_4">The Tomb of Ligeia</a> (1964). Then he closed the book and began to recite it to me in this beautiful voice, filling the room with huge sounds. Such passion! I looked in the book later, and it was verbatim. Word perfect. It was a great moment. I'll never forget that.<br /><br />The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.<br /><br />One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen was the morning I opened the newspaper and it said that some very powerful government officials had decided to change the name of "french fries" to "freedoom fries" and "french toast" to "freedom toast". It was impressive. I wanted to write a letter to them just to thank them, just for proving globally that they were absolute imbeciles.<br /><br />America is dumb. It's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive. My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out.<br /><br />Taken in context, what I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. It is a shame that the metaphor I used was taken so radically out of context and slung about irresponsibly by the news media. There was no anti-American sentiment. In fact, it was just the opposite. I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it. It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful.<br /><br />France and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing, though, is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.<br /><br />[on his character in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0325980/?ref_=nmbio_qu_10">Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl</a> (2003)] Captain Jack Sparrow is like a cross between <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0724189/?ref_=nmbio_qu_10">Keith Richards</a> and Pepe Le Pew.<br /><br />I can remember when I finished <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099487/?ref_=nmbio_qu_11">Edward Scissorhands</a> (1990), looking in the mirror as the girl was doing my make-up for the last time and thinking -- it was like the 90th or 89th day of shooting -- and I remember looking and going, "Wow, this is it. I'm saying goodbye to this guy, I'm saying goodbye to Edward Scissorhands". You know, it was kind of sad. But in fact, I think they're all still somehow in there.<br /><br />With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.<br /><br />The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News<br />'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured.' That kind of thing.</div>

Here are some personal quotes of Eli Wallach</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I was at the premiere of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457939/?ref_=nmbio_qu_2">The Holiday</a> (2006), a movie I did with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000701/?ref_=nmbio_qu_2">Kate Winslet</a>. Surrounded by all these beautiful young women. And after they left, [wife <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0413271/?ref_=nmbio_qu_2">Anne Jackson</a>] comes up and says to me, "Honestly, I don't know what they see in you.".<br /><br />Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.<br /><br />I never lost my appetite for acting.<br /><br />Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck.<br /><br />I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.<br /><br />But Clint I love, because Clint was my mentor. I knew nothing about making an Italian movie.<br /><br />When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.<br /><br />When I saw the movie, I said, I wish I had heard the music. I would have ridden the horse differently.<br />And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.<br /><br />And I did Batman, too. I did Mr. Freeze. I get more mail for him than anything I've ever done.<br /><br />Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.<br /><br />All of these stories bounced around in my mind for a long time.<br /><br />But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.<br /><br />And then the first was The Misfits, which I enjoyed very much, with Marilyn and Gable.<br /><br />Everyone thinks acting is easy. It's far from easy, but it's the most gratifying thing I do.<br /><br />I love to tell stories and this is my way of getting them down on paper.<br /><br />I always end up being the evil one, and I wouldn't hurt a fly.<br /><br />I never dreamed I would do Westerns.<br /><br />I was an original member of the Actors' Studio.<br /><br />I always wanted to tell stories and act.<br /><br />The big secret in acting is listening to people.<br /><br />My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.<br /><br />I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.<br /><br />One thing changes every evening: It's the audience, and I'm working my magic. I'm always learning from it.<br /><br />The trouble with that movie is that you had to see Chinatown the day before you saw The Two Jakes.<br /><br />What is it in my makeup that makes me grab any offer and fly around the world? Will I ever be satisfied? Can't I ever just rest?<br /><br />I met my wife and, for the next ten years, we did no films at all. She did the first movie and then I did several after. My first movie was written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Kazan and was called Baby Doll.<br /><br />This country has a complex about age. It's unbelievable. If you're over thirty, you've had it in this country.<br /><br />Well, I've maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I'm gonna do my own.<br /><br />Yes, I won the BAFTA. I thought the British were very intelligent.<br /><br />Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn't getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I'd always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I'd always rush off to do a movie somewhere.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856079375020177769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945263174991294078.post-30832640720649470152014-06-25T09:52:00.001+04:002014-06-25T09:52:48.206+04:00Rachel McAdams personal quotes <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Rachel-rachel-mcadams-647648_537_663.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Rachel-rachel-mcadams-647648_537_663.jpg" height="320" width="259" /></a></div>
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As strange as movie making is, doing love scenes for the first time with someone you've never even said hello to does work in terms of having a fresh quality to a relationship.<br /><br />It takes a lot of time, commitment and a choice. I've chosen this path, but it's not to say I'm not open to love or whatever comes my way. You never close doors.<br /><br />The craziest thing I've ever done to get a guy's attention? I admit I stalked someone. I showed up at a restaurant where I knew the guy worked, and we were actually good friends and had lost touch, and I pretended that I didn't know he worked there. And then ran into him and, "Oh my God, you work here? I had no idea." It's the most manipulative thing I've done in my entire life, but it all worked out very well, so I have no regrets.<br /><br />The most romantic thing, a lovely boy bought me a dress once. He got my measurements, actually they were from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332280/?ref_=nmbio_qu_4">The Notebook</a> (2004) and I had them sitting somewhere, and he found them and bought me this dress, tailor-made, this beautiful little black cocktail dress. And I thought that was very, very classy.<br /><br />I want to try a lot of things that I haven't tried. You know, I did a thriller (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421239/?ref_=nmbio_qu_5">Red Eye</a>(2005)) after this, because it was so different and it was a genre I hadn't worked in yet. Then I did a beautiful family ensemble drama. And next? I don't know. I might go off to do a small independent in New York. I'm not sure. The quality of material is important but, basically, I'm open to anything. I like to stay open to anything.<br /><br />A friend of mine had this great theory about the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142055/?ref_=nmbio_qu_6">Teletubbies</a> (1997), that it's preparing us for being mindless. And getting us ready for living in an underground world. When they build the underground world because we can no longer breathe the air that it will look like Teletubbie land.<br /><br />I don't know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that's not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.<br /><br />I guess you have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.<br /><br />I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.<br /><br />I once made a (it was supposed to be a 30-minute) bean salad that took me like 6 hours.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856079375020177769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945263174991294078.post-40205351537630466952014-06-25T09:49:00.003+04:002014-06-25T09:49:48.693+04:00Rachel McAdams Ranked #1 on 25 most beautiful women<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

[on working with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000881/?ref_=nmbio_qu_1">Michael Bay</a>] Michael Bay's name, if it's attached to a script, you know it's going to be a huge blockbuster released in the summer, with jets flying over at the premiere and all that kind of stuff. So, I knew it was going to be a huge movie.<br /><br />[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000123/?ref_=nmbio_qu_2">George Clooney</a>] He's sarcastic, and he has a different girlfriend constantly. It's considered charismatic. He's like this James Bond, sexy dude. The older he gets, the better he gets. It's a double standard. To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. As soon as you curse or, God forbid, make some sort of sexual reference that's a joke, you're labeled a party girl. They don't do that with men, so I feel it would be a lot easier.<br /><br />[Director <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000881/?ref_=nmbio_qu_3">Michael Bay</a>] doesn't like really skinny actresses. He's been traumatized by them for some reason in the past. So I always try to put on eight to ten pounds before [filming], and I'm always the fattest I've ever been when making a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/?ref_=nmbio_qu_3">Transformers</a> (2007) movie.<br /><br />[on her <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000054/?ref_=nmbio_qu_4">Marilyn Monroe</a> tattoo] I committed to having her face on my arm for the rest of my life, so I have to be a pretty big fan.<br /><br />Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it.<br /><br />Look, I'm not a lesbian, I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1312575/?ref_=nmbio_qu_6">Olivia Wilde</a> is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1374980/?ref_=nmbio_qu_7">Zac Efron</a> is my obsession, we're the same person. We're not actually here, it's like [<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001390/?ref_=nmbio_qu_7">Janet Jackson</a>] and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001391/?ref_=nmbio_qu_7">Michael Jackson</a>. He just puts on his wig and a dress, and it's me, and you don't know that. It's one of the greatest mysteries of all time.<br /><br />Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his thirties.<br /><br />When I go to a party, I always feel like I'm chum. Like my agent is just chumming the waters until I'm circled by all these dudes.<br /><br />People assume that I'm really promiscuous. There's a difference between being very sexual and being promiscuous. I'm not promiscuous. I'm extraordinarily sexual within a monogamous relationship. Nothing's off-limits. But that has nothing to do with experiencing a lot of people. I've only had two boyfriends my whole life.<div>

<br /><br />If I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco.<br /><br />[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479471/?ref_=nmbio_qu_12">Shia LaBeouf</a>] He probably is my favourite person in the entire world. Shia makes me laugh harder than anybody I've ever known in my life. I end up crying or almost peeing myself every time I'm with him. So he's just my favourite - I love you, Shia! And he's really super-handsome!<br /><br />[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001401/?ref_=nmbio_qu_13">Angelina Jolie</a>] I'm actually frightened of her, I haven't had the opportunity to meet her and I try to avoid that because I'm afraid. Angelina's a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive. I guess that is why I'm afraid of her. There have been a lot of films I've had to pass on because I don't want people thinking I'm trying to emulate her.<br /><br />When I moved to Los Angeles I had no money. I remember needing to shave my legs, and I didn't even have enough money to buy disposable razors. So I'd wear pants all the time.<br /><br />Women are expected to be conformist automatons in L.A. but in Britain you can be more yourself and people will take you on face value.<br /><br />I don't trust male intentions, usually, because they don't approach me for intellectual conversation.<br /><br />Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of and if I weren't attractive I wouldn't be working at all.</div>

I'm so tired of hearing casting directors ask if I have a sore throat. The people who have told me that my voice is distinctive, it's unusual... those people have always been close to my heart.<br />
<br />
[commenting of why she was glad that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335119/?ref_=nmbio_qu_2" target="_blank">Girl with a Pearl Earring</a> (2003) was a small foreign production] It would be hellish to have the pressure of putting on a Hollywood ending or putting in a scene where Vermeer sees Griet washing her breasts.<br />
<br />
I always check in the mirror to make sure nothing is see-through.<br />
<br />
I have a lot of actor friends who worked with their parents closely and have had really horrible experiences. They end up suing or being emancipated. The wonderful thing about my mom [who is also her manager] is that she completely respects my creative weirdness and supports any decision I make.<br />
<br />
As long as people keep buying tabloids, they'll keep harassing people in the public eye. They'll make up stories.<br />
<br />
On <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001327/?ref_=nmbio_qu_6" target="_blank">David Hasselhoff</a>, after they had both worked on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345950/?ref_=nmbio_qu_6" target="_blank">The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie</a>(2004): I so fancied him when I was young, that to see my name on the credits next to his makes me go all girly. He was a hunk back in those days.<br />
<br />
I have an obsessive character. I manicure my nails at three in the morning because nobody else can do it the right way. Maybe that's the secret to my success.<br />
<br />
It's a great thing to get older and learn. I don't feel bound in any way by how many years I've lived. I identify just as much with my 86-year-old grandmother as I do with my sister.<br />
<br />
People forget what it's like to be a child. When you're a child actress, people sometimes regress into being obnoxious and patronizing. But there's no reason to dumb things down just because you're working with kids.<br />
<br />
What I respect most in people is naturalness and authenticity. I like to be able to see into their soul. I aspire to being a truthful person.<br />
<br />
The most precious moment in life is when you're about to fall in love. You're lying in bed together and he's gazing at you and you're gazing at him and there's a sense that something truly wondrous is about to happen. It's a nervous moment - but it's exhilarating.<br />
<br />
I am very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.<br />
<br />
I don't talk about my personal relationships, it always ends up kicking you in the face. But I've read a lot of things about myself and think, "Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.".<br />
<br />
I think that I sort of see other actresses are kind of proud of the way they look and show it off. That's never really been my style. I really don't think that it's disgusting or wrong, if you're 18 you're 18, it's your body, it's your right to show yourself, however, I don't really take a part in that. I like to look nice, but I think that there's ways of doing it that are more tasteful than just wearing a bikini wherever you go.<br />
<br />
I don't know if I've got swept up. It's so shocking when you hear that Calvin Klein wants you for their new campaign. You're like, 'who me?'. I guess you have to decide where you draw the line between you saying, this is fun, pretty and fabulous, and being over-exposed.<br />
<br />
Well, you put a little piece of yourself into every character that you do. Even if you're playing some psychotic person, which of course I'm not, some part of you is in that character and it's hopefully believable. I always come back to the fact that my own instinct is better than something I build in my mind.<br />
<br />
Tons of that stuff comes to me, but a lot of it is awful. All these teenage slaying movies, and movies about girls that have deformities that become cheerleaders and then marry the prom king!<br />
<br />
I always had the chance to do whatever I wanted to do, my parents were very open about that. Acting has been a passion of mine. I wanted to be in musicals as a kid, and took tap dance, so for me it's a dream come true, my childhood was filled with things that I loved to do, and also very normal things: I lived in New York, I have a family life and went to a regular school. If anything, I look back and think, "Wow, I did a lot of things that a lot of people don't get to do in their lifetime.".<br />
<br />
It's a place of solace. I love London, it's an amazing city. I've met some wonderful people there and I also have some family there. I'm from New York, so I feel very at home in London. It's like a metropolitan breeding ground for culture, art, music and diversity. It's a beautiful city, with beautiful history. In Hollywood, it's hard to step outside of the circle once you're in it. But in London I was really moved by how accepted I felt there. There was definitely less need to wear my big sunglasses!<br />
<br />
[on filming <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399201/?ref_=nmbio_qu_20" target="_blank">The Island</a> (2005)] I came home and I thought I was going to die. I was in agony. I had muscles that had atrophied. I couldn't run any longer and it was only the first day. But, actually, Ewan was in the same boat. He had black and blue marks all over him. So, it wasn't so bad since someone else was in agony.<br />
<br />
I don't think there's any kind of preparation for sudden celebrity. I think you almost have this slight nervous breakdown when that kind of media attention happens. I mean, you're doing the same kind of thing that you do all the time, only you have to make these weird adjustments. Like, you're buying a slice of pizza and somebody's outside photographing you which is weird - that's not normal! It's very uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
Everyone in Hollywood is so damn skinny and you constantly feel like you're not skinny enough. But I have 'fat days' and I accept that I'm never going to be rail thin. It's hard not to feel pressure in this industry and I already use anti-aging products on my skin. I try not to let the pressure get to me but Los Angeles is a very hard place to be unless you have people here that love you. It can be very, very lonely, and it can eat you up if you don't take care of yourself.<br />

Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.<br />
<br />
Because I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with me or that I'm obsessed with death. The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.<br />

You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens.<br />

And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father.<br />

[on if she ever caught her husband Billy Bob Thornton cheating] I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And I'd beat her, too!<br />
<br />
I'll make it real simple, I'm a 36-C. In the game, she's a double-D. In the movie <a href="http://www.alearned.com/lara-croft/" target="_blank">Lara Croft: </a>Tomb Raider (2001)], she's a D. We split the difference... is much more athletic, and she has smaller breasts, but she's still Lara Croft, so there.<br />

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers (1995) and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.<br />
<br />
I'd like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don't have misconceptions - they understand. I believe that.<br />

on her split from husband Billy Bob Thornton" I'm angry. I'm sad. It's a very difficult and sad time. It was a real deep connection, a deep marriage, so it's not that simple to say this or that one thing caused the problems. It's clear to me that our priorities shifted overnight. He's focused on his music and career. I'm focused on my baby. It comes down to what's important to you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856079375020177769noreply@blogger.com0
