(On the Academy Awards circa 1978) They`re political and bought and negotiated for - although many worthy people have deservedly won - and the whole concept of awards is silly. I cannot abide by the judgment of other people, because if you accept it when they say you deserve an award, then you have to accept it when they say you don`t.
- Woody Allen(On the Academy Awards circa 1978) I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don`t think they know what they`re doing. When you see who wins those things -- or who doesn`t win them -- you can see how meaningless this Oscar thing is.
- Woody Allen(On rumors that she was addicted to drugs during her layoff from porn circa 2001) "I know everyone has said that I like to have a good time and everything and it`s true that I do but the rumors that I am a drug addict are one-hundred percent unfounded and not true."
- Chasey LainIt should go without saying I suppose that looked at through British Media Eyes circa 2004, my appearance anywhere on anything will be open to ridicule and instant dismissal. Please don`t get me wrong...I really don`t expect everyone to like what I do, but it`s the sheer predictability of it all. I just don`t understand why suddenly there is this tidal wave of abuse !! It seems it`s impossible to open a newspaper without reading some crap or other. I know too that it shouldn`t all be believed but.... I keep out of the way and am good with children, I play well with others !!! I know I`ve never been hip, and most critics have had trouble with the music, but now it seems everyone out there who writes for a journal actively hates what I do !!! Quite disturbing and mystifying and it`s pissing me off...sorry about that.
