My daddy used to say that I was too big to ride and too little to hitch a wagon – no good for a damn thing. Dan Blocker

I’m recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we’ll shop it around to. Ahmed Best It doesn’t bother me that people are stupid. I’m not stupid. Ahmed Best We like to think of film and music as art, but actually art is something that is not restricted. Ahmed Best I’m going to [...]

Orlando Bloom

Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they’re so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai. Orlando Bloom I came back out here from England and I was there for a while and it was beautiful and it is just great to see [...]

Jack Black

There’s nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you’re gonna eat it. Jack Black I’d rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools. Jack Black We’re in the dark ages if J-Lo can have a music career because [...]

Bill Bixby

TV is a major force in our lives – a FORCE. It must be handled very carefully, both its censure and its artistic honesty. Bill Bixby Viewers can’t expect TV to keep developing unless they make their wants known. And let’s face it. The best way to make your wants known in this world is [...]

Michael Biehn

I would say that one of the things that we are proud of is that we are attracting very interesting guest stars. One is Tyne Daly, who has done a wonderful job. Michael Biehn I’d rather have a small part in a good film with good people than play the lead in something I don’t [...]

Theodore Bikel

yellowing with age was obligatory. Theodore Bikel We live in a world of guns, bombs and terror. To conquer hate seems a nigh-impossible task. Theodore Bikel All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by [...]

That includes not cutting down the rain forest, and stop polluting the ocean because once we kill the coral reefs and the rain forest, this earth is toast. Michael Berryman We all live on the same planet, it is our only home, so… we used to rotate crops back in the day and, you know, [...]

Paul Bettany

In America, they shoot budgets and schedules, and they don’t shoot films any more. There’s more opportunity in Europe to make films that at least have a purity of intent. Paul Bettany It’s weird, because usually if you’re British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies [...]

Corbin Bernsen

Taking employment out of the country – now that’s taking away jobs. These shows employ a lot of people: production, post-production, music supervisors, camera people. A hundred people or more. Corbin Bernsen I have to say, though, it’s a little strange doing both because Durant is very straight and stern and austere. Corbin Bernsen There’s [...]

Peter Berg

Filed under Actor, Author Types, Authors, P

Truth is, we offered it to Tom Hanks, which pretty much every movie in America does, but Tom passed. Billy Bob said that Hanks recently called and said he’s voting for all of us for Oscars, he loved the film. Peter Berg What kind of town do we want in the future, and how are [...]

Xander Berkeley

I want to direct films, because I am a painter and a sculptor and I’ve done a lot of writing. Xander Berkeley I’d better make hay while the sun shines. Xander Berkeley It’s exciting that you’ve got an entire season to experience 24 hours of highly dramatically charged human experience. It allows for the close [...]

Gael Garcia Bernal

I was little there were times I wanted my parents to be normal. I wanted them to have a religion. I wanted them to have a job, like the parents of every other kid I went to school with. Gael Garcia Bernal In Latin America, you don’t do things for the money because there is [...]

When my daughter, Clare, was 4, she told me that a school friend had told her what I did for a living. Clare asked me, ‘Is it true you play Jack Rabbit?’ Peter Bergman I do like large entrances, but this was a little too large. Peter Bergman When you are not practicing, remember somewhere [...]

Steven Berkoff

In London, nobody comments on what you wear – they think that’s not important to you or your state of well-being. Steven Berkoff The great actors we had came from the actor-manager theaters. Not only did they create a team, they were the generals working with the soldiers. Steven Berkoff A great opera house isn’t [...]

Michael Bergin

New York is tough on lonely people. Michael Bergin Thank God for little miracles, right? Michael Bergin What was it about Carolyn that made her so cautious about revealing herself? Michael Bergin A father’s disappointment can be a very powerful tool. Michael Bergin The fact is, my parents loved me, and I wanted to be [...]

Tom Berenger

Take characters that Nicholson or De Niro play: they’re not always tough. Tom Berenger Around mid-life everyone goes maniac a little bit. Tom Berenger Debra Winger doesn’t let anything interfere with her performance, which is the way it should be. Tom Berenger Even my agents say, We don’t know what this business is anymore. Tom [...]

It’s not about finding a home so much as finding yourself. Jason Behr Nothing beats the original Krispy Kreme. Jason Behr Coffee and cigarettes, that’s one of my weaknesses.

All clients’ needs and expectations are vastly different. Bruce Bennett I write box notes for Kino International, which specializes in distributing foreign films. Bruce Bennett As a head-hunter I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing my candidates do well and therefore my clients happy. I want to work with clients more as a partner [...]

Wes Bentley

Filed under Actor, Author Types, Authors, W

You treat characters like people you meet in life-friends or mentors. Wes Bentley A reflection of an exact image is the closest thing to you-so that you can see it-but it’s far enough away so that you really understand it. There is real life in this movie, but it hovers just an inch above reality. [...]

Edgar Bergen

So many people are working in vaudeville today that I looked for three weeks to book enough acts for an hour bill and didn’t have them until the night before we opened in Buffalo and money was no object! Edgar Bergen But Charlie, Charlie, how can we ever really know anything? Charlie, what or who [...]

Roberto Benigni

The first movie I saw – and I don’t know if it influenced me – was Ben Hur. We watched it outside in a corn field, and it ran backwards, so the first movie I ever saw was Ben Hur backwards. Roberto Benigni My father was a farmer and my mother was a farmer, but, [...]

Ned Beatty

I was born just barely south of the Mason Dixon line. Ned Beatty I’m getting grumpier all the time. Ned Beatty I’ve had this problem since I was in my 20s. They don’t call it manic depression anymore. They call it a bipolar disorder, and I’m a Type 2. Ned Beatty It always impresses me [...]

Richard Benjamin

Filed under Actor, Author Types, Authors, R

It’s the texture of New York that people miss by filming elsewhere. There are layers and layers of character – even in the pavement – that you can’t get anywhere else. And the speed that the people move. It’s so different from other places. Richard Benjamin I always say that you should remake flops, not [...]

Dirk Benedict

Filed under Actor, Author Types, Authors, D

Generally speaking, actors are allowed NO input. Actors are dumb. Dirk Benedict I am very willing to share whatever I know or feel I know about finding some serenity in this lifetime. Dirk Benedict America is terrified of the passage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts. Dirk Benedict Harrison Ford was pretty content [...]
