Remember that I have a family. Remember that I have teenage nieces and nephews--and younger--who do surf the Internet for stuff about their uncle. And I would appreciate if you don`t make up rumors and things about me. If you want the facts, go to my Web site. I`m truthful. I`m honest about the way I talk. If you want the truth, come to me. (on what he thinks of what is written about him on the Internet, which he refuses to read)
- John Barrowman(1977 comment on Robert Aldrich) A very good director. Beyond that, he has one fault: he is inflexible. He`s horrified if you give him ideas; he only appreciates his own. He wants to use his own brain for everything. That`s his greatest fault. If he wasn`t so inflexible he would be very great. He refuses to give in. Well, it`s impossible for one man to know everything.
- Charles BronsonActing with creatures that aren`t there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.
- Liam NeesonI think any movie star who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve.
- Alan LaddEven funnier than a man who has been made ridiculous is the man who, having had something funny happen to him, refuses to admit that anything out of the way has happened, and attempts to maintain his dignity. Perhaps the best example is the intoxicated man who, though his tongue and walk will give him away, attempts in a dignified manner to convince you that he is quite sober. He is much funnier than the man who, wildly hilarious, is frankly drunk and doesn`t care a whoop who knows it. Intoxicated characters on the stage are almost always "slightly tipsy" with an attempt at dignity because theatrical managers have learned that this attempt at dignity is funny.
- Charles ChaplinWith each piece I`ve completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It`s like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can`t do any better with the dances.
- Twyla TharpCNN is one of the participants in the war. I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected president but refuses because he doesn`t want to give up power.
- Arthur C. ClarkeArmando has been a constant spark for our team. Whenever we need a big hit, he seems to through. He is just one of those guys that refuses to lose.
- Michael Hirsch(Superstitious Mathilde (Tautou) refuses to believe the news that her fiance, Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), died during the war and sets out to find him in) A Very Long Engagement. ... the story is so complicated ... even we were lost at times.
- Jean-Pierre JeunetMan is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfilment of animal desires.
- Alexander Graham BellIf Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus.
- Kinky FriedmanThis assumes an upward revision of the European Budget, which is precisely what Jacques Chirac refuses to do. On the contrary, he has demanded a reduction.
- Laurent FabiusTradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.
- G.K. ChestertonThe schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.
- Simon WiesenthalHe who refuses to obey cannot command.
- Adam GillThe Secret Doctrine is the common property of the countless millions of men born under various climates, in times with which History refuses to deal, and to which esoteric teachings assign dates incompatible with the theories of Geology and Anthropology.
- Alexander AlexeyevThat is why if Lebanon concludes a peace agreement with Israel and brings that accord to the Parliament our deputies will reject it; Hezbollah refuses any conciliation with Israel in principle.
- Alexander LibermanWhen it aims to express a love of the world it refuses to conceal the many reasons why the world is hard to love, though we must love it because we have no other, and to fail to love it is not to exist at all.
- Amanda ApodacaOur national media refuses to report that even the Supreme Court did not say marriage was a human right in all cases nor did it say that the heterosexual definition violated anyone`s right or that the heterosexual definition of marriage was unconstitutional.
- Andrei KrivtsovCan any reasonable person now blame the staff, if the management that congratulates you for going beyond the call of duty, refuses to look out for you when you`re becoming ill, because of their own ineptitude.
- Barbara HartmanI have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn`t want to give up power.
- Arthur C. ClarkeTradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
- G.K. ChestertonTradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
