Sophie Fisher: Sloan, even though Sally Michaels only lives on paper, I live in the real world. And I can never forgive you for using me as raw material to create a fictional monster. Sally Michaels is my own personal ghost, a shadow hanging over each phone call, a cup of tea. And one cold day when age has robbed your mind of its fertile phrases and your hand of its dexterity all the success won't be able to shield you from the pain you've caused and the shame you deserve. Sophie Fisher: Or something like that.
You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition.
Kevin Costner: You know, the great thing about Vietnam, if you can find one great thing about Vietnam, was that we have Vietnam to look back on. Vietnam serves a purpose. We have this gigantic window into our past history and why we find ourselves where we're at. That's the only good I can see that that war ever did for us. And we've ignored the lesson. Bill Maher: The key lesson to me of Vietnam is that you cannot outlast insurgents in their own country. This idea that when Bush says, "Well, we can't say we're going to pull out in six months because they'll only have to wait six months and a day." They'll wait a hundred years if they have to! Gen. Wesley Clark: Bill, the key lesson - the key lesson of Vietnam is that you've got to have a strategy that has a chance of success before you commit the lives of the men and women in uniform.
Everything I have ever done in my life has always stayed. I've just added to it . . . but I will not change. Because when you are successful and you change, you are an idiot.
My life is a crazy whirlwind right now. I'm just working and working and working. With the success of the film, there are a lot of things you get offered, places people want you to go just to have you there, and I really haven't been able to do that. Between this and other films, I've just been working. You know, I was a struggling actor, and I was modeling to pay bills. I was worried about rent, and I was living with two other people. To go from that to me going, "I need a break, I need a day off", is a crazy thing. It's good, and it's tiring, but my mom being able to see what I'm doing every single day on the Internet? It's crazy! From nobody really knowing or really caring who you are or what you do to suddenly making headlines with what you're eating, where you're going, who you're hanging out and having coffee with is nuts. But I guess it helps when I'm walking into these rooms with directors and producers, all of a sudden, they know who I am. That's the craziest thing ... -- on how her life has changed since Twilight (2008/I) debuted.
The Terminator: The T-1000's highest probability for success now will be to copy Sarah Connor and to wait for you to make contact with her. John Connor: Great, but what happens to her? The Terminator: Typically, the subject being copied is terminated. John Connor: Shit! Why didn't you tell me? We gotta go right now! The Terminator: Negative. She's not a mission priority John Connor: Fuck you, she's a priority to me!
Col. Jessep: Matthew, sit, please. [Lt. Markinson sits] Col. Jessep: What do you think of Kendrick? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: Nathan, I don't know that... Col. Jessep: I think he's kind of a weasel, myself. But he's an awfully good officer, and in the end we see eye to eye on the best way to run a marine corps unit. We're in the business of saving lives, Matthew. That's a responsibility we have to take pretty seriously. And I believe that taking a marine who's not yet up to the job and packing him off to another assignment, puts lives in danger. [Lt. Markinson begins to stand] Col. Jessep: Matthew, siddown. [he sits] Col. Jessep: We go back a while. We went to the Academy together, we were commissioned together, we did our tours in Vietnam together. But I've been promoted up through the chain of command with greater speed and success than you have. Now if that's a source of tension or embarrassment for you, well, I don't give a shit. We're in the business of saving lives, Captain Markinson. Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer.
I always knew I would be successful. So there was no element of surprise.
Rev. Saviour: I knew you were coming... so I sent everyone away... because I believed my final moment was at hand. Before you pull that trigger... and take my life, I would like the chance to tell you some things, perhaps to think about after I am gone. Don't worry about me stallin'. My people have orders to leave me to my studies for another 15 minutes. I will only take five. Can you bear with me? Will you? Then make up your mind. Today marks the change of not only a New Year, but a new millennium. Take a look around. The majority of the youth roam the streets... dealing in drugs, sex and violence, thinking these things have no real effect on life. Crimes without real punishment. An uncaring, unfeeling generation... without knowledge of self. This is the future of our nation, the future of our people. Do you think hatred and evil will go unpunished? The world is now feeling the heat... from flames it has kept burning since the beginning of civilization. You represent that fire. You and I are just a small part of God's plan. The evil men of this world have applied every method possible... to deceive its occupants. And each time with greater success than anticipated. But no more. Tonight, with this new millennium, God will begin to overcome this evil. I represent the truth... to the people. Without truth, nothing is sacred. The lie-that's what the devil is all about. You know that, that's why you're here. The truth is, we all play a grave role... in our own destruction. Your money. Your lifestyles. The things that people value and covet so dearly... are the bait that lures them out of the light. Through the love of others... I have power. The truth gives me this. Those that fear me send you here, here to murder all that I say. They use what you fear against you. Your fear of death, your fear of imprisonment. Where in this world is anyone safe from death? You see the lies you've been told? The path you take is not your own. Have you ever thought about how precious a life is? How difficult it is to create? How loosely and easily it has been for you to take away? Brother, help me. Help me to do what's right. Help me to stop the slaughter of our children. Help me to put an end to the disrespect... and the dishonor of our most valuable resource: the black woman. Help me put an end... to the destruction of the young mind through the use of drugs, alcohol. Help me to build up a population of great thinkers. People who create change... through thoughtfulness and spirituality. Will you choose that truth? Will you? Will you choose the light over the darkness? Hold it, stay where you are. Will you choose life? It's time. It's time, man. It's time.
Miss Higgins: That's too bad. You have a gift for language, Mr. Riley. But talent is a common thing. People waste it every day. They abuse it. They take it for granted. Success comes not from what God has given you but what you do with it. It's really up to you.
Jack Bourdain: Recipe for failure: take one part natural talent, two parts stellar education, mix with easy success and a generous helping of booze, drugs, and women, and immediately set on fire.
Beverly: You wouldn't have touched me in the past five years if it had not been for the Viagra. Stan: That's fine... swipe me below the belt, I can take it. Beverly: And why do you always assume that it's the sex? You are always associating every success and failure on your sexual inabilities. Stan: Inabilities? Beverly: Inabilities. Stan: Inabilities? Beverly: Inabilities!
Women in the industry have been exploited very often, but there are some actors who belive that the short cut to stardom is through nudity or exposure. Such success is, in fact, very short-lived.
Joey: Look, I know you're hurtin' now, but in time you'll realize what you've achieved. Jimmy Rabbitte: I've achieved nothing! Joey: You're missin' the point. The success of the band was irrelevant - you raised their expectations of life, you lifted their horizons. Sure we could have been famous and made albums and stuff, but that would have been predictable. This way it's poetry.
Narrator: Last year, Tobias produced a video tape. But its brief success was due to its misleading name. [shows "Families with Low Self Esteem" next to "Girls With Low Self Esteem"] Narrator: Once this flaw was discovered, all but ten of the tapes were returned.
You Determine your own worth not anyone else, only yourself.
Yeah, I've done a lot of smaller stuff before, so it's nice to be in something that people actually see - on the outstanding success of The Dark Knight (2008).
Hilary Faye: Mary, turn away from Satan. Jesus, he loves you. Mary: You don't know the first thing about love. Hilary Faye: [throws a Bible at Mary] I am FILLED with Christ's love! You are just jealous of my success in the Lord. Mary: [Mary holds up the Bible] This is not a weapon! You idiot.
Joe: So what's the seminar your dad's goin' to? Alan: "How to Make a Success of Your Small Buisness." My suggestion was torch the place. Joe: Not a good idea. Arson forensics nowadays is very sophisticated.
[on the success of Jamie's book] Lindsay: Can you believe Marco Vega read your book? Harmony: Only because you named the romantic lead after him. Connor Kennedy: It *is* shocking. [Jamie, Lindsay, and Harmony stare at Connor] Connor Kennedy: I mean, who knew he could read?
Tony Perkis: Kids, at age 12, I weighed 319 pounds. I had bad skin, low self-esteem, and no self-respect. Now, I eat success for breakfast, with skim milk. Nicholas: [gets a sour look on his face] Ugh.
Dr. Martin Halifax: You've achieved a great deal of success in your creative and artistic field. You've traveled a great deal. You have influential friends. You've dated a bevy of bright and beautiful woman. Yet, with all this, you never had a lasting relationship.
Bowler Hat Guy: [after Bowler Hat Guy is thrown out of Invent Co because he didn't know how to turn on the memory scanner] [Doris brings up a screen that reads "watch out"] Bowler Hat Guy: [Sounding out the words] Watch ou- [hit by the box containing the memory scanner] Bowler Hat Guy: [Doris picks up the pieces and puts them the box] Doris, it's all over. Our hopes and dreams dashed, like so many pieces of a broken machiney thing. [Doris hands the Bowler Hat Guy his Unicorn notebook] Bowler Hat Guy: [Doris beeps] Bowler Hat Guy: You're right, success is still ours for the taking. [Doris gives the Bowler Hat Guy a pencil] Bowler Hat Guy: [Bowler Hat Guy erases the check mark next to "Pass off invention as my own" and draws a box below it and writes "get that@!*@boy" and underlines it]
