| Although Ronald Reagan was somebody I disagreed with on most ideological things, he was a friend of mine, and he was a very, very likable man. Ronald Reagan, for instance, was maybe more able to get the very rich to do the right thing sometimes. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |
| And the success of the union movement, historically, has always been to benefit all working men and women - not just people who belong to the union. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |
| And then the conditions of safety - or lack of safety - for teachers in public schools, and the disparity between public schools and private schools is shameful. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |
| Arnold has had his spokesman call me a crackpot. That was a mistake. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |
| Being here allows me to make the case that not all aging, narcissistic movie actors whose children could be mistaken for their grandchildren necessarily act with the same motivation. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |

| It's very clear you have to engage the public and say: You have to vote no on 74, no on 75, no on 76, no on 77. Those are the issues that Arnold pushing. And those are reactionary, Republican initiatives. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |

| Movies are fun, but they're not a cure for cancer. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |

| To say that people would cease to come to California if they would have to pay more taxes is to underestimate the advantages of being in California - mightily. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |

| When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even helps the star. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |
| When you mutilate movies for mass media, you tamper with the hearts and minds of America. (Warren Beatty (1466)) | |

| I think that can happen, that two people can love each other and not be able to get on at all. (Alan Bates (1466)) | |
| I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society. (Alan Bates (1466)) | |

| People ask, how do you cope, and all I can say is that you do. (Alan Bates (1466)) | |

| I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face. (Jason Bateman (1466)) | |
| I just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me. (Jason Bateman (1466)) | |

| Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch. (Jason Bateman (1466)) | |
| People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude. (Jason Bateman (1466)) | |
| Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it. (Jason Bateman (1466)) | |

| It was all a back-handed blessing, and my friends were the ones who kept the faith, read my work, and urged me to submit it to publishers (by sending it out for me - they would not hear no for an answer. (Leslie Banks (1466)) | |
| That has always been it for me: family first. (Leslie Banks (1466)) | |
| The story grew, got way bigger than the contest rules called for, and next thing I knew I had a book. (Leslie Banks (1466)) | |
| Usually I identify with the female characters - all of them, actually... their strengths, their weaknesses, their fears, their passions. (Leslie Banks (1466)) | |
