Hur Quotes

Somebody once approached Kirk Douglas and said they had enjoyed his performance in Ben-Hur (1959). So he said, `That wasn`t me, that was another fellow.` And the man said, `Well, if you aren`t Burt Lancaster, who the hell are you?`

The way I and my family have been treated is an absolute disgrace. At the end of the day, I`m a nice person and loving husband and father. I`ve been called a bad father, I`ve been called a bad husband and my wife has been called a bad mother. Things always hurt that are said about my family, and for people to call my wife a bad mother is unbelievable. I`m a strong person, I`m a strong family man, I`m a strong husband and a strong father.

(upon being offered Ben-Hur (1959)) I don`t want to make this film. It`s a piece of crap.

(to British TV interviewer David Dimbleby after Dimbleby persisted in questioning him about the Monica Lewinsky incident) Look how much time you spent asking me these questions. And that`s why people like you always help the far right because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings. Look - you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain way. You should take responsibility for that. You should say "Yes, I care much more about this (the Lewinsky affair) than whether the Bosnian people were saved, than whether 27 million people had jobs at the end, and whether we moved a hundred times as many people out of poverty as (Ronald Reagan) and George W. Bush]." This is what I care about."
