While having dinner with Paul McCartney, Dustin Hoffman told the story of the death of Pablo Picasso and his famous last words, "Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can`t drink anymore." Paul had a guitar with him and immediately played an impromptu chord progression while singing the quote. Thus, "Picasso`s Last Words", one of the highlights of the "Band On The Run" album, was made.
- Dustin Hoffman(Pablo Picasso) said art is a lie that tells the truth. What if you just want to tell the truth and not lie about it?
- Nicolas Cage(When asked what romantic character he would want to be) (Pablo Picasso). I love the idea that he used to just sit and stare at an empty canvas for as long as 12 hours straight. If you keep staring at the canvas, the hope is that something or someone will come to mind. That`s a romantic notion in itself.
- Al PacinoMore than anything else, I`d like to be an old man with a good face, like (Alfred Hitchcock) or (Pablo Picasso).
- Sean ConneryDon`t ask me my opinions on art, because I don`t have any. Aesthetic concerns have played a relatively minor role in my life, and I have to smile when a critic talks, for example, of my "palette". I find it impossible to spend hours in galleries analyzing and gesticulating. Where (Pablo Picasso)`s concerned, his legendary facility is obvious, but sometimes I`m repelled by it. I can`t stand "Guernica", which I nonetheless helped to hang. Everything about it makes me uncomfortable--the grandiloquent technique as well as the way it politicizes art. Both Alberti and (José Bergamín) share my aversion; in fact, all three of us would be delighted to blow up the painting, but I suppose we`re too old to start playing with explosives.
- Luis BuñuelBut I felt like Pablo Escobar felt like he was an honorable businessman. And when he killed people, I think he felt he did it because they were honorable. That they were liars and were trying to cheat him. I don`t think he had a lot of respect for the politicians in Columbia at the time, so he had quite a lot of fun killing them.
- Cliff CurtisHe ran a great race. He`s a perfect three for three and getting better and better. Pablo and Doug have been big supporters of me, and it`s so nice to win one like this for them.

- Andy ArnoldWe anticipate long-term relationships with both Kimi, who is currently competing in his fourth season with us, and Juan Pablo (Montoya).
- Balu BalakrishnanBoth drivers put in a faultless performance today which should have given the team maximum points. Kimi claimed his win in a disciplined and controlled manner in very difficult conditions. Juan Pablo was the innocent victim of other people`s mistakes but this should not distract from his race which was executed with true team spirit. We of course take some satisfaction from winning eight of the last 11 Grands Prix. As you can imagine we are looking forward to Brazil in a positive frame of mind.
- Balu BalakrishnanWe anticipate long term relationships with both Kimi and Juan Pablo and consequently, the team is not in negotiations with any other driver, including Michael Schumacher.
