I think people jumped to conclusions about Dirty Harry (1971) without giving the character much thought, trying to attach right-wing connotations to the film that were never really intended. Both the director (Don Siegel) and I thought it was a basic kind of drama - what do you do when you believe so much in law and order and coming to the rescue of people and you just have five hours to solve a case? That kind of impossible effort was fun to portray, but I think it was interpreted as a pro-police point of view, as a kind of rightist heroism, at a time in American history when police officers were looked down on as "pigs", as very oppressive people - I`m sure there are some who are, and a lot who aren`t. I`ve met both kinds.
- Clint EastwoodI am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles.
- Brad DourifIf you go to Hollywood, you`ve already sold out. By the sheer act of going there, you`re saying, `I need to go there because this is the only way I can get my movie made.` Baloney! Indiana`s the place to make your movie. Pontiac, Michigan. Whatever. Then you`re just making it on the merits of the movie. You don`t have to have any discussions about what`s hip now. Who can we get to do the soundtrack? You can actually put a score to your movie instead of a soundtrack. I get this thing all the time. Filmmakers go, `Can I send you a script? You`ll read it and attach yourself and we`ll package it.` Why can`t you get the money based on nothing, just the script? This whole packaging thing is out of control. Then you get absurd casting because it`s all packaged by the same talent agency. The sensibility is so bizarre.
- Bruce CampbellThey are a fairly aggressive conservation organization that was started to protect the great whales particularly, but in general all marine life around the world. So those are the people I`m trying to attach my name to.
- Richard Dean AndersonLove is a mess, at best, and I figure it can be very real in spite of all the things people try to attach to it.
- Sean PennThe bigger issue is that it`s an absolutely stupid notion that you should take the title of someone`s profession and attach it to what they should not do. It has nothing to do with citizenry.
- Sean PennIt quite often happens that they attach a name to a project and it doesn`t get all the financing it needs.
- Dougray ScottI just don`t want to bring out an album under my name, because then everybody would say ,Oh its that guy from Linkin Park." Besides I attach great importance to my privacy. If there were my name everywhere I would be scared. I`not keen on to be a star and I`m not fancy that paparazzis will follow me." (about why he chose to use the moniker `Fort Minor`)
- Mike ShinodaThe best thing to do is get some kind of plumber`s strap to attach the water heater to the wall so it doesn`t fall over.
- Steve ChapmanNo blame should attach to telling the truth. But it does, it does.
- Anita BrooknerBlack power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it.
- Stokely CarmichaelI can`t attach even an approximate estimate to this. If you look at the (pest control) report, he`s got damage all the way around the house - there`s not one area of the building that doesn`t have damage. When there`s that much stuff there, you`d almost have to take everything off to find out what`s going on there.
- Mark HoffmanTo say that mind is a product or function of protoplasm, or of its molecular changes, is to use words to which we can attach no clear conception.
- AJ NicholsonI am inclined to attach some importance to the new system of manufacturing; and venture to throw it out with the hope of its receiving a full discussion among those who are most interestedin the subject.
- Alan CurryI wouldn`t attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.
- Alison CottrellIf you are someone who is traveling overseas for at least 14 days that includes April 15 and you are away on business, you get an automatic extension to June 15 to file your return, ... You just have to attach a statement to your return explaining that you were out of the country.
- Andy BrunnerI can plug in a 80 gigabyte disk and store 16 hours of video on it or up to 500 hours of audio. Now we attach it to a free satellite, slow, trickle charge. We can put anything on the disk you want to know about clean water, latrines and do it in whatever language.
