remember when these fishes were ALL over the city of Baltimore?
ha!
*i believe this picture was part of something Mobtown Players sent once. not sure... but, i liked it. and am happy to have re-found it during a time when i'm really home sick. :(
now for something from INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO (which i also found on an old disk... computers rock):
“I slip from workaholic to bum real easy.” –Matthew Broderick
“I had to stop trying to fit in and just be myself. When I grew up in the 60’s, your hair had to be straight and you had to be skinny and have no boobs, and it was not my era.” –Bernadette Peters
“I wrote this letter to Alice Walker. And I said my name is Whoopi Goldberg. Don’t let that stop you from reading the rest of the letter. I’m an actor. I’m enclosing all of my stuff. And if they ever make a movie of your book, I would like to be in it. Because I think it’s just the most gorgeous prose. The most wonderfully alive story I’ve heard in a long time. And it’s got roles in it that maybe I can play.” –Whoopi Goldberg
“Roger Ebert, a very good critic: Whoopi’s performance (in the color purple)… one of the most amazing debut performances in movie history.” –James Lipton
Gabriel Byrne speaking of Ellen Barkin: “I know that I will have a relationship with this woman until the day I die. I have tremendous loyalty to her. She’s the mother of my children. How could I be nasty or vindictive to her?”
Gabriel Byrne on life & acting: “The most important thing about being alive is trying to discover who you are yourself and acting is a means to do that. Discovering who you are and being there for your own life, is more important then any acting you can do.”
James Caan on Honeymoon in Vegas: “Sarah Jessica Parker in a bathing suit is really tough to take in the morning, you know what I mean?”
Michael Caine: “My father said to me, ‘Never do a job that can be replaced by machines.’ So I thought being an actor was a job that can’t be replaced by machines.”
Francis Ford Coppola: “I bring to my life a certain amount of mess.”
Billy Crystal on hosting the Oscars: “There’s enormous pressure about being live for three and a half hours in front of the world. The world’s a rough room.”
Billy Crystal: “I was the house manager for You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. When I was in college at N.Y.U., ’69 and ’70. I was terrible at it because I wanted to be onstage. I was understudying Linus and Charlie and all of these parts, and making $40 a week. One night, Walter Cronkite came in with his family. I’ve since met Mr. Cronkite a few times and reminded him of this story. I was there taking tickets, and I come down the aisle and I’ve got my flashlight under my face, and I must look like some ghoul. And I go, (whispers) ‘Mr. Cronkite, if there’s anything I can do to make you more comfortable will you let me know?’ And the flashlight is like a hand mike, and now I’m shining it in his face. And he says, ‘You can begin by getting that light out of my face.’ I went back to the room where they were selling these Sun Dew drinks and I just kept banging my head, ‘Why did I do that?’”
Ethan Hawke on Robert DeNiro: “You work with [Robert DeNiro] and you realize what a drag it must be for him ‘cause he so rarely works with anybody who’s as good as he is.”
Michael Douglas: “Some actors really just look for their part, and turn the pages [of the script] and see how their part is… I like movies. I want to be in a good movie… I try to see what my responsibility is to the movie, because if the movie works, then we all benefit.”
Tom Hanks: “Daryl always had like two hours to get into that very uncomfortable mermaid costume. Oddly enough mermaid costumes are uncomfortable, who would have thought?”
Robin Williams: “If you remember the sixties, you weren’t there.”
Kevin Spacey: “A guy came up to me in a restaurant and told me he had just been to see [American Beauty] alone and then took his wife to see it a month later and promptly divorced her… I told him I expected a rash of people quitting their jobs after seeing it but I didn’t think there would be a rash of people getting divorced.”
