Famous quotes

  • « I'd said to my sweetheart a couple of days before that the SAG and Spirit Award nomination was amazing and I had no attachment to the Academy Award. I knew I was an underdog so I just decided to sleep through the announcement. »
    John Hawkes
  • « Losing faith in your own singularity is the start of wisdom, I suppose also the first announcement of death. »
    Peter Conrad
  • « I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now. »
    Regis Philbin
