Donald Quotes

"I guess a lot of me in the sense is like Dignan, that`s my sense of humor. The stuff that Dignan is doing is what I would do. When we test-screened the movie I realized that not everybody laughed where I did. I realized there`s not a big audience for my type of humor. Dignan doesn`t have self-awareness. Donald Trump has none either. When I read "The Art of the Deal" I laughed at that because neither of them realize how funny they are" - about his character Dignan in Bottle Rocket (1996).

Speaking about the 2003 start to the Iraq war: "You can`t beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people revenge-seeking. These days it only matters who`s in charge. Right now that`s us -for a while, at least. Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win. . . . I believe (Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld) thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can`t beat anyone anymore."

I got really lucky in that my dad stopped working just as I started. He took a few years off, not on purpose, but he has three sons with his wife of 30 years and he wanted to be involved with them. As much as I missed him being around when I was growing up, I think he missed us too and he wasn`t going to let that happen again. So it wasn`t until much later that people started making comparisons. When I started, with films like The Bay Boy and Stand by Me, I look back on those interviews and I`m amazed; there`s no mention of my father, it`s not even "son of Donald Sutherland". I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me. It`s amazing that I was stupid enough to try it - we`re talking about one of the most prolific actors in film history - but my parents were very gracious about making me feel like I at least had a shot at making my own path.

(Talking about his father, actor Donald Sutherland, being a fan of his TV series "24"): I remember last year we were having dinner and I made the mistake of saying I had to go home soon because we`re shooting x, y and z. And he got cross with me, because I had told him what I was shooting, just not thinking about it, and obviously gave away a piece of the plot.

Pauline Kael reviewed The Day of the Locust (1975): "There`s nothing specifically wrong with Donald Sutherland`s performance. It`s just awful." That was the most destructive, stupid piece of criticism I`ve ever received. I stopped reading reviews after that.

I do not believe that artists or actors and people should be out there like voicing their full-blown opinions on politics because, let`s face it, at the end of the day, I`m not that smart of a guy. I play Rock `n` Roll, that`s what I do. Who would you trust to make your decisions, Donald Rumsfeld or the Dixie Chicks?

I was holding a reserve inside all along. When you`re with someone as powerful as Donald, you have no choice. You can get lost within that power if you`re not careful.

I met Donald Trump in `85. I ran into him several times throughout the years. We knew we had this connection, but it wasn`t appropriate timing. So we`d spend a lot of time on the telephone. By `88, I knew I truly loved this guy.

Donald and I still really wanted to be together, but I was fighting to keep what we had privately, and once the world gets involved in your life, little by little it breaks it down until you forget what it was in the first place.

(on Errol Flynn) Flynn was a magnificent specimen of the rampant male. Outrageously good looking, he was a great natural athlete who played tennis with Donald Budge and boxed with "Mushy" Calahan. The extras, among whom I had many friends, disliked him intensely.

Donald Davie was someone whom I got to know shortly before his death. He was consistently supportive, very kind to me, but he was very against queers.

Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile, and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.

Many quite popular films are filled with violence. I think the difference between those and my films is that I show the cause and effect of violent activity. It`s not a Donald Duck situation where he get a brick in the back of the head and gets up and walks away in the next frame. Mine have violence which keeps Donald Duck in the hospital for six months and creates a trauma which he will remember for the rest of his life.
