Moulin Quotes

"(My fans) say, `I`ve seen Star Wars and Moulin Rouge!. What else should we try to see you in?` I always tell `em to get The Pillow Book (1996). That would be a bit of an eye-opener for them, wouldn`t it?"

I needed to go and just find out exactly what it meant to be out and having fun in a kind of hedonistic and debauched environment. That`s right, something I wasn`t familiar with. (on researching for Moulin Rouge)

Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this? (on Moulin Rouge)

On the one role that got away: "I`d have to say Ewan McGregor`s part in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was soooo close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where people were in their careers. I was the youngest and the least known. I would hope it didn`t have anything to do with talent. Maybe it did".

You probably won`t see me dance in the movies again unless there`s a `Moulin Rouge 2` or `Chicago Returns`.

I had to twist his (Freddie`s) arm and leg to see Moulin Rouge! Although he enjoyed it once we were there. In fact, there was a moment during the evening when I swear I thought he was going to leave me for Nicole Kidman but then, who could blame him? I`d probably leave him for Nicole if she asked. She`s hot!

One of the proud moments for us was Robert Wise, who directed Sound of Music and West Side Story, he is the great-great grandfather of musical cinema and he said, I`ve seen Moulin Rouge and the musical has been re-invented." I bring this up because you get that kind of thing and that`s wonderful."
