I`ll tell you when I`m going to play the Palace. That`s when Eddie Cantor and George Burns and Groucho Marx and Jack Benny are on the bill. I`m going to buy out the whole house, and sit in the middle of the orchestra and say, `Slaves, entertain the king!`
- Al JolsonI played a sex-drenched doctor in The Bramble Bush (1960). It was the worst picture I ever made, if you don`t count Ice Palace (1960). That one was based upon a very weak novel by Edna Ferber. Both pictures for Warner Brothers. Jack L. Warner told the press I had no sex appeal. Then Elizabeth came along. All changed after that. Suddenly, Eddie Fisher didn`t have sex appeal. And I did. It`s a crazy world for a Welsh coal miner`s son born in November 1925.
- Richard BurtonYou can`t get a place more conflicted than Cambodia. You come up with ideas as you go. Film ideas come into your head. Sometimes you write them down. Sometimes they just pass you by. This one goes back to `93 when I went to Phnom Penh. It was an extended vacation and I knew very little of Cambodia. What I knew of it was The Killing Fields. What really opened my eyes and surprised me was how beautiful the country was. Phnom Penh was this partially destroyed city but a lot of it had been preserved. The royal palace is there and all the pagodas along the Mekong River. It was a real contrast from say, Bangkok. There was also this palpable sense of danger. There were a number of ex-pats I met too and these people were as interesting as the places. Guys that had opened bars and felt like they couldn`t go back. About a year later I read an article in the Tribune that Cambodia was being used as a fugitive haven. It sort of presented itself to me as an opportunity to do something really interesting. - On what inspired Dillon to base City of Ghosts in Cambodia.
- Matt DillonI don`t know a single person who hasn`t been deeply moved by the video footage and news reports coming out of the Gulf Coast over the past two weeks. We have several players and employees within the Palace Sports & Entertainment family whose lives were directly impacted by Katrina, and as an organization we are encouraging everybody to participate in the hurricane relief efforts by any means available to them, no matter how big or small.
- Swin CashI mean Buckingham Palace has never hired a professional public relations outfit let alone a Madison Avenue type and they would throw up their hands in horror at the very idea.
- Anthony HoldenThey tend to be civil servants, often diplomats drawn from the Foreign Office, who may be very pleasant, intelligent people, but once they get inside the Palace they`re riveted to the status quo and they lose track of public opinion in the real world.
- Anthony HoldenWe went to this huge, icecream picture palace to see a Bollywood movie. Here we were, with 2,000 Indians watching a film in Hindi, and there was the lowest possible comedy and then incredible drama and tragedy and then break out in songs. And it was three-and-a-half hours! We thought we had suddenly learnt Hindi, because we understood everything! (Laughter) We thought it was incredible. How involved the audience were. How uncool they were - how their coolness had been ripped aside and how they were united in this singular sharing of the story. The thrill of thinking, `Could we ever do that in the West? Could we ever get past that cerebral cool and perceived cool.` It required this idea of comic-tragedy. Could you make those switches? Fine in Shakespeare - low comedy and then you die in five minutes.
- Baz LuhrmannIt takes a heap o` children to make a home that`s true, And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe; But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two, Why, that`s the sort of good old home for good old me and you

- Alessandro TentoriGenius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness.
- Alexander CutlerWe do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them.

- Samuel Butler"...Every day we go to the Palace`s Hospital to do dressings but not in the main building. In the garden there is a small house for the officers. Every day they bring there 6 lower ranks and Olga and I dress their wounds... When we finish doing it we go to the officers` where Mother and Anya dress them in turn..."
- Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia
