“I never in my life worked with a woman who had the smell of drama that this woman has. She is so feminine— she’s a man’s woman.” … It was late at night. Two or three more days of shooting remained. Hepburn had been in bed since 8. Wayne, as usual, had a bottle of Commemerativo tequila in front of him. “Imagine,” he mused softly, “how she must’ve been at age 25 or 30… how lucky a man would’ve been to have found her.”

- John Wayne [People Magazine, Nov. 18, 1974]

“Sometimes in the blankness of having given it all up, and let go of your agenda, and felt like you completely failed, and just the devastation of that… sometimes it’s in the next moment, in her case it was true, the next moment when you begin again… where the truth of what you were meant to do occurs.” ~ Mary McDonnell (Talking about Laura Roslin)

There is a moment in “The Philadelphia Story” that was, according to Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart, improvised. It’s the scene when Jimmy Stewart comes to Cary Grant’s house and he’s drunk. And Jimmy Stewart hiccups; that was thrown in. You can see that Jimmy’s amused and Cary looks down and he was amused that Jimmy was amused. They almost broke up!

Peter Bogdanovich

THE GREATEST SCENE OF ALL TIME.

There once was a good man with many women who vexed him.  He fought and fought, but they always won.

Stanwyck isn’t one to let hamminess on my part pass unnoticed, but the thing she criticizes most in my acting is my stiffness on the screen. What do I criticize in her acting? Are you clowning? She’s a better performer than I am, smarter and makes more money - Robert Taylor ( Motion Picture Magazine, April 1949)

Nonsense. You’ve got an old-fashioned idea that divorces are something that last forever, till “death do us part”. Why, a divorce doesn’t mean anything today, Hildy. Just a few words mumbled over you by a judge. We’ve got something between us nothing can change.     

Good bye.

Look I probably should have told you this before but you see… well… insanity runs in my family… It practically gallops.

Tom Zarek: This is Tom Zarek, President of the Twelve Colonies. It’s over, Laura. Saul Tigh was killed attempting to escape. Bill Adama was tried and found guilty of his crimes. A firing squad executed him this morning. It’s done, Laura. You want to think about the people of this fleet now, and surrender.
President Laura Roslin: No. Not now. Not ever. Do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eyeteeth to end you. I swear it! I’m coming for all of you!

one of the best scenes you’ll ever see on TV, EVER

I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he’d rather I’d shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit ‘em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.
