Burt Reynolds Quotes
“I’d like to be able to use all my acting muscles before I’m finished.”“My acting is a bit like basketball. Most females in my films come off very well. I give great assist. And if I’m lucky, I even score.” “You can kill, you can maim people, but to be boring is truly a sin. And God will punish you for that.” “You can never give the public enough. They always want more.” “A lot of directors don’t realize the hardest thing to do is to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. I’ve done that a lot.” “I asked other directors for advice. Bob Aldrich told me always to listen to everybody. Mel Brooks told me to remember to fire someone the first day.” “I responded with the message that [Gator] was possibly the worst screenplay I’d ever read. Asked to direct it, I replied I’d welcome the opportunity to direct such fine material.” “I want to direct two times a year. You can only hold your stomach in for so many years.” “I can’t believe I did all those bad films in a row. I went to the well one too many times.” “My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.” “That’s the secret of Cannonball and Smokey and the Bandit - and Police Academy. They’re laughing so much they don’t hear the words. If you listened to the words, you’d throw up.” “Jay Leno is wonderful and a good friend, but it will always be the Carson show to a lot of people.” “America loves to make heroes - and then destroy them. Make them real low. Limping is not enough. If they’re destroyed real bad, they can even becomes heroes again.” “Marriage is about the most expensive way for the average man to get laundry done.” “Nobody is worth what they pay me.” “I’m just waiting for somebody to say I’m a fag - that’s when you’re really a big star.” “If a woman thinks she’s sexy, she is.” “I can sing as well as Fred Astaire can act.” “I dislike [the word macho] more than any other word.” “I’ve always gotten along well with Texans. You’ve got to.” “The moment you grab someone by the lapels, you’re lost.” |
