I flew into New York for the Raising Arizona audition, and we just started joking around. I started going through their résumé pile, looking at actors, and just kinda made myself at home in my obnoxious way. I think they cast me because I had a baby face and that was a motif of the film. (on how he met and started his relationship with the Coen Bros.)
- John GoodmanI love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don`t talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don`t tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is "I`m not achieving enough, I`m not making enough, I`m not at the top of the pile!"
- Gwyneth Paltrow(On his Titanic (1997) experience): Yeah, I was lucky because I didn`t have to spend hours in freezing water. There weren`t many people my age on set, so Kate (Kate Winslet), Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and I hung out together. We would pile into Leo`s dressing room, which was full of PlayStations, mini basketball hoops and the like.
- Ioan GruffuddIf I get a script that`s set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don`t think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I`m really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.
- Kate BeckinsaleI write my own action. There`s a scene in The Island (2005) - a highway chase where a pile of train wheels fall off a truck and smashes into the oncoming cars. That thought came to me as I was driving next to a truck carrying rail wheels. My mind is very fertile, so I`m like, `That`s very dangerous!` I sent someone out to do research and found out those train wheels weigh a TON each . . .
- Michael BayAnd, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.

- Kary MullisWhen a pile of cups is tottering on the edge of the table and you warn that they will crash to the ground, in South Africa you are blamed when that happens.
- Desmond TutuAh, stardom! They put your name on a star in the sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard and you walk down and find a pile of dog manure on it. That tells the whole story, baby.
- Lee MarvinIf you have an important point to make, don`t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
- Winston ChurchillThere are so many things to take into account - your ambition, your ego, the press, the consumers. You can never be sure that you`ll be on top of the pile again.

- Daniel DavisThe world is a pile of grunge.
- Jo StaffordHe could put together a pile of cement and steel beams, knowing you would look at it at a certain angle and you would think it was twice as big as it really was.
- Jim HillThe truckers get notoriety, ... Eighty-thousand pounds of muscle, blood and steel in a pile. It`s spectacular.
- Gary WilliamsMy husband is the criminal who did this. He lit a trash pile and a aerosol can popped out onto the grass and caught it on fire.
- Kelly MooreApparently, there`s a big pile of letters at home for me and my mum said I got a thong in the post,
- Andrew MurrayWe spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things (but) there are times when we stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.
- James CarrollOne has to get through a big pile of mail every day. I don`t pass my letters on to a secretary; rather, I try to take care of all of them myself.
- Dietrich Fischer-DieskauIf somebody came up to me and asked for my professional opinion, I`d say, `It`s a pile of junk,` ... If a buyer was to come to me and say, `What do you think of this house?` I`d say, `You have a lot of work to do.`
- Mark HoffmanI think Robbie Williams is an utter and complete prat. His last record was a pile of rubbish.
- Pete WatermanWhen I`m 60, maybe, I`ll look at my pile of papers and wonder, What really happened that year?
- Christa McAuliffeI don`t think anybody is alive in this pile of rubble, ... But we have not lost hope.
- Iqbal KhanWe heard the ambulances come and the next morning we woke up and there was blood all over our wall and like right next to our door there was a huge pile of blood,
- Amanda DodsonBooks to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I`ll have a long beard by the time I read them.
- Aaron BusackScience is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
- Abel OshavireIs education possibly a process of trading awareness for things of lesser worth? The goose who trades his is soon a pile of feathers.
- Aileen BarryI have a large pile of novels on my bedside table, and I look at them frequently, promising myself that I will find the time to read them.
- Alta CharoLet`s leave beside them in another pile all the injustices which exist in the northern state.
- Amanda CarrYou create a pile of dirt and then drive over it. We may have to learn to drive all over again.
- Andrei KirilenkoTo invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
- Andy BellinThe North American Church is at a critical juncture. The gospel of grace is being confused and compromised by silence, seduction, and outright subversion. The vitality of the faith is being jeopardized. The lying slogans of the fixers who carry religion like a sword of judgment pile up with impunity. Let ragamuffins everywhere gather as a confessing Church to cry out in protest. Revoke the licenses of religious leaders who falsify the idea of God. Sentence them to three years in solitude with the Bible as their only companion.
- Andy CercoWhy am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I`m scared of writing, but I`m more scared of not writing.
- Angelo BitsisWe picked up a pile of points from the relays. Most of the girls are happy, but some are disappointed they didn`t get a chance to come back for the finals (today), especially our 200 free relay team. I don`t know if we could have beaten Lafayette (the 200 free relay champion), but I would have liked to have gone up side-by-side and raced them.
- Armin SchwarzBristol is no different than restrictor-plate racing -- if someone makes a bad move it can cause a big wreck that can pile up a whole bunch of cars in a short period of time. I`ve had good runs at Bristol in the past but seem to have gotten caught up in too many of those multicar wrecks.
- Art DotenA rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
