Emily Blunt

You can go at the premiere it’s at Disneyland.
Emily Blunt

It just proves good movies don’t need 100 million dollars to be good.

Rachel Bilson

I know of my sex appeal. I know about sexuality, and I know how to use it – tastefully, of course.
Rachel Bilson

You can tell a lot about a person from his underwear.
Rachel Bilson

My next adventure will be being in a car with Mischa at the wheel.
Rachel Bilson

That’s a rule in the business. No tongue. You can’t really get into it, otherwise, it’s weird. I think that particular scene made his (Adam Brody) girlfriend jealous. There were issues.
Rachel Bilson

You’ve got to use your celebrity for good stuff, not evil. I think it’s lame when people act as if they’re better than everyone!
Rachel Bilson

It’s great playing someone who is not like me at all. I’m really a nice girl, so it’s fun to be a bitch, then come home and be myself again. When I meet people now, they’re surprised that I’m a good person.
Rachel Bilson

My favorite albumn ever is Jeff Buckley’s GRACE. I feel a weird unexplainable connection to him.
Rachel Bilson

The more aware a man is of a woman’s body, the better. He needs to know he has to tend to a woman. She might not always return the favor, but a man always has to tend to a woman first.
Rachel Bilson

When a guy can make fun of you, thats attractive. Who knew that teasing could have so much power over women!
Rachel Bilson

Y’know what? This is what I go by: It doesn’t matter how good-looking a guy is, it just depends on his personality. If a guy can make you laugh and make fun of you, then that’s what would win me over. So, yeah.
Rachel Bilson

A few years ago I was at a party and this guy threw me over his shoulder, ran across the street, put me in his car, and stuck his tongue in my mouth.
Rachel Bilson

Jacqueline Bisset

There’s something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
Jacqueline Bisset

At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
Jacqueline Bisset

Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together.
Jacqueline Bisset

When you share work, and you have the opportunity of seeing people you like doing what they do best, and you also interchange socially with them, it’s very addictive.
Jacqueline Bisset

You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
Jacqueline Bisset

Marriage has just never interested me.
Jacqueline Bisset

Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don’t feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.
Jacqueline Bisset

Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.
Jacqueline Bisset

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.
Jacqueline Bisset

I’ve probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.
Jacqueline Bisset

At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.
Jacqueline Bisset

Working with Candy Bergen was really wonderful.
Jacqueline Bisset

Being around people with whom you feel a connection, on many levels, not just a professional one, is very relaxing. Your ears are more open to someone who is not a cantankerous bastard.
Jacqueline Bisset

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
Jacqueline Bisset

My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things.
Jacqueline Bisset

I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don’t have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.
Jacqueline Bisset

To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.
Jacqueline Bisset

We all lose our looks eventually. Better develop your character and interest in life.
Jacqueline Bisset

Your voice is your tool and represents you. It’s very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.
Jacqueline Bisset

When I am working on a movie, all I want to talk about is the movie. All I want to be with are the movie people. It’s like a clan. If I’m asked to people’s houses for dinner, I hate to go, because they’ll talk about other things.
Jacqueline Bisset

You need to become a good listener. As you’re working, you hear someone else’s lines and how you absorb them becomes your acting.
Jacqueline Bisset

I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
Jacqueline Bisset

Thora Birch

I admire Jodie Foster. Her head is screwed on really well. It’s not loose at all.
Thora Birch

For me, romance isn’t an over-the-top act. It’s someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I’m making the wrong decision, he’ll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.
Thora Birch

Claire Bloom

In my day, people didn’t do nude scenes. I mean they didn’t exist.
Claire Bloom

My face has always been my fortune anyway, not my body.
Claire Bloom

You can’t pretend to be a Sharon Stone or a Marilyn Monroe. You really can’t fake that.
Claire Bloom

Film is different for me now. If the money is good and it’s not totally revolting, I’ll do it.
Claire Bloom

I am interested in the art. I’m a professional woman.
Claire Bloom

Security has no place in the life of an actress.
Claire Bloom

I don’t think actresses’ lives in general are very good.
Claire Bloom

There are several paths one can take, but not every path is open to you.
Claire Bloom

I started on a very high note and I was alwasy able to choose. I want to be able to do that until my last breath. And to do that, you have to have money.
Claire Bloom

I’ve spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow.
Claire Bloom

When I was in England doing Romeo and Juliet as a child star, I was interviewed by the British press, who are even more vicious and cruel than the Americans. So I have been extremely guarded ever since.
Claire Bloom

Traci Bingham

I had to have a large kitchen because I look to cook.
Traci Bingham

I’m learning as much martial arts as I possibly can. My show is packed with action. Enough to get a rise.
Traci Bingham

We’re actually building onto the house to make it bigger because we want to start a family.
Traci Bingham

I can’t live without my beauty products. I love to be in my bathroom with my candles lit, morning, noon and night. I like taking hot baths and hot showers, using my body scrubs and lotions.
Traci Bingham

 

Karen Black

I’ve been invited to do a trio with a fantastic jazz guitarist and a harmonica player.
Karen Black

If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I’m sorry, I don’t believe that’s America.
Karen Black

I love playing strong women, even if they’re nuts.
Karen Black

If you didn’t know that I am an actress, I don’t think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She’s 16, so of course I bore her.
Karen Black

Illiteracy is rampant. People are out of communication.
Karen Black

There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Karen Black

I love what I do, so it’s not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I’d be dead in a week.
Karen Black

If you can write it, I can be it.
Karen Black

 

Linda Blair

Kids shouldn’t see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn’t care.
Linda Blair

Of all the projects I’ve worked on, I’ve never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he’s a genius.
Linda Blair

I’ve lived through what seems to most – and myself – many lives.
Linda Blair

The Exorcist has been a very interesting cross to bear.
Linda Blair

To ignore one’s spiritual self is unsettling, to say the least. That’s a very profound outlook on it.
Linda Blair

When I was 13 I asked my mother if it was possible for this to end – I’d had enough of it. And that was right about the time that we got a call for “The Exorcist” interview.
Linda Blair

If I had children, I would be very selfish. I wouldn’t be out doing things. But by not having kids, it makes me freer to travel the world and talk about things I feel are important.
Linda Blair

It’s difficult to understand why people don’t realize that pets are gifts to mankind.
Linda Blair

One of the reasons I don’t have kids is because I think people would have been very unfair to them. Think of it. You’re still asking me questions about The Exorcist.
Linda Blair

People always joke that “dog” spells “god” backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
Linda Blair

The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
Linda Blair

There was a golden retriever who saved countless lives on September 11 by going back in to find people. His companion was in a wheelchair. He got him out and kept going back in to save others.
Linda Blair

I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That’s why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.
Linda Blair

Alexis Bledel

In my life, I don’t need to have my face plastered everywhere. It’s not really something I want.
Alexis Bledel

Directors and writers have a lot of stress as well, because they have people they answer to.
Alexis Bledel

I’m still a shy person. I’ve learned to put that aside on certain occasions. I have to. It’s part of my job.
Alexis Bledel

For some unknown reason, bad-boys draw you in despite the fact that they are jerks.
Alexis Bledel

I did one year at NYU, and I’d love to go back there someday.
Alexis Bledel

Well, I think that a lot of times when you’re working on a film, there aren’t really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
Alexis Bledel

I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can.
Alexis Bledel

Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don’t realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is.
Alexis Bledel

It gets kinda monotonous, but that’s television. There are plus sides and down sides. The positive side is that you have steady work for nine months of the year for however many years your show is on TV,.
Alexis Bledel

A lot of girls ask for advice on how to get into acting, and I’m kind of the worst person to ask, because it just kind of fell in my lap… I was just in the right place at the right time.
Alexis Bledel

Jane Birkin

My mother was right: When you’ve got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust.
Jane Birkin

I’d rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.
Jane Birkin

When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn’t bear it any more.
Jane Birkin

Any film I see at two o’clock in afternoon with my mother seems to cast a strange spell that means we both come out sobbing.
Jane Birkin

If I were mayor, I’d invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I’d let the elderly in residential homes wander free.
Jane Birkin

He painted me when I was young because he was in love with me, but now that he has loved me he doesn’t paint me anymore.
Jane Birkin

I don’t know why people keep banging on about the ’60s. I came from a conventional family and I didn’t go off with different people – I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having.
Jane Birkin

People always like things that seem exotic.
Jane Birkin

If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.
Jane Birkin

Robert Louis Stevenson… I’m focusing on the late short stories that I was ignorant of. I always thought he was a boys’ author, but he’s not at all.
Jane Birkin

I only like boutiques.
Jane Birkin

I grind my teeth and keep my thumbs in so tight that I’ve dislocated them, just not to scream. Sometimes as an actor one is lucky enough to be asked to scream.
Jane Birkin

Keep smiling – it takes 10 years off!
Jane Birkin
