"Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, `That`s for me.`"
- Orlando Bloom(on filming Rescue Dawn (2006) in Thailand) We`d be walking barefoot through jungle no one has ever walked through, with thorns and snakes and whatever. Sometimes Christian (Christian Bale) and I would just sit on a rice paddy and laugh, like, "Can you believe this?" It was intense. I`d need a 12-pack in the backyard and a full five hours to tell all the stories.
- Steve ZahnI think people jumped to conclusions about Dirty Harry (1971) without giving the character much thought, trying to attach right-wing connotations to the film that were never really intended. Both the director (Don Siegel) and I thought it was a basic kind of drama - what do you do when you believe so much in law and order and coming to the rescue of people and you just have five hours to solve a case? That kind of impossible effort was fun to portray, but I think it was interpreted as a pro-police point of view, as a kind of rightist heroism, at a time in American history when police officers were looked down on as "pigs", as very oppressive people - I`m sure there are some who are, and a lot who aren`t. I`ve met both kinds.
- Clint EastwoodAnimals, they are one of the most beautiful gifts we have and, you know, if there are people that have compassion, there are very few people that put their money into animal rescue organizations. And if there is someone that has that passion, animals need all the help they can get.
- Alyssa MilanoSaddam Hussein has been brutal against his people, but when he was committing those crimes, the international community did not come to the rescue of the Iraqis.
- Bianca JaggerI genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue, once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone`s eyes. Maurice loved what he did, so. He treated his character with respect, down to the costuming.
- Madeleine StoweJust seeing him (on television) and being able to see his eyes and his reaction to his rescue just took a huge load off my shoulders.
- Michelle WilliamsWhen I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.
- Orlando BloomI`m not big on Champagne, but I`d take along a bottle of Cristal to pop for when the boat comes to the rescue.
- Sam NeillI never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.
- Steve Buscemi(On "40 Days of Musa Dagh," a book about the Armenian genocide that he has wanted to direct for years) The hero, the one who set up the rescue, has fallen asleep . . . The camera pulls back, and the ships and the sea are on one side, and there`s one lonely figure at the top of the mountain, and the Turks are coming up the mountain by the thousands on the far side . . . an epic about the complete destruction of a civilization. The Turks have been killing that subject for 85 years.
- Sylvester StalloneWhen I was a kid, my dream was to be a farmer and marry Charlie Brown. I wanted to rescue him and make him happy. Besides, he was always lusting after the little redhead girl.
- Alicia WittIf it were up to me, how would the characters` relationships conclude in Serenity 2? Okay. Hypothetically speaking only. River and Zoe really hit it off, fall in love, and decide to form their own renegade girls-who-kick-ass space team and leave us in the dust; Mal realizes he`s more destroyed over Wash`s death than he ever thought and spends the rest of his days wearing Hawaiian shirts and drinking booze out of the engine; Simon and Kaylee have a set of genius triplets and turn the ship into a cocker spaniel search-and-rescue with "crazy Grandpa Mal" still at the helm cradling toy dinosaurs; and Inara finally realizes the potential in Jayne as a male companion, loans him a toga, and takes him back to the training house where they become King and Companion Queen...you know you want that sequel! (writing on her blog)
- Jewel Staite(To rescue workers at the World Trade Center, New York, September 14, 2001) I can hear you! I hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked down these buildings will hear all of us soon!
- George W. BushI always looked for a man to rescue me and bring me happiness. I bought into that myth, of course, and looked for my own Prince Charming.
- Linda EvansThe first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
- Steve IrwinWe arrived in rescue mode, not recovery mode,
- Andrew MillerHe (Hernandez) has been approached in every conceivable manner to cooperate with the government and his position has always been, `I didn`t know what they (the Cuban military) were going to do. His job was to monitor Brothers to the Rescue to find out when they were going to fly and pass that along, but he never knew what they were going to do. He never had any indication that they were going to shoot them down.
- Paul McKennaParishioners called asking for me to pray for them, ... They`re leaving their families and homes to help rescue people. When I asked them how long they would be gone, they said, `However long it takes.`
- Richard GreeneWe have synchronized a plan for the execution of search-and-rescue operations. And I think we have a good model. It really was born of operations in Katrina. And we have learned lessons from that operation, and we are applying those to the planning we are doing today,
- Robert ClarkHere it is evident that the money we are spending is supporting rescue efforts.
- Tom PowersIt`s someone who`s going to help us -- me and my family and other people (who are) coming along. It`s a blessing that somebody came to rescue us like this here,

- Alfonso Cuarón(The rescue) is a tricky operation, ... a lot can go wrong, unfortunately.
- David Hess(THE VIDEOLAND VIEW:) Rescue Me ... going to be nuts! When we got the first draft of the script, that was pretty wild, then they started working on it and it kept getting a little more risque, a little more scary and a little more crazy.
- Callie ThorneTo have a dog highly trained in collapsed structure rescue and locate live human beings trapped below rubble-- who wouldn`t want to do that?

- Marc BrownIt is important to rescue the people who are working hard to come up with new ideas if we are to have any chance of confronting the big issues in our world.
- Robert QuinnThe viciousness of the storm took aback even the most seasoned members of our team. It was one of the worst conditions for search and rescue personnel that we`ve seen in a long time.
- Tim JonesThe experience that I learned during Hurricane Ivan was definitely an asset, ... Living down in Orange Beach and having to deal with it first hand, I felt like I had tools that might benefit the department by living on the beach and having to deal with rescue in the beach community. I think it is ironic that we`ve had two hurricanes within two months of each other.
- Mike West(As federal troops and rescue workers poured into still-flooded New Orleans, the Smiths pondered the future of their city. Geof worried about the lack of tourism revenue without Mardi Gras or the Saints football games. But both brothers hope the city will be rebuilt better than before. ) Driving out, I was pretty beat down, ... I was sad and embarrassed and I was like a lot of people that you might have seen on the news saying, `I`m not coming back.` But all these places—like Florida after their hurricanes, or Los Angeles after the riots—they`ve recovered. I`m going to do what I can to make it better. And I think there`s so much that`s not destroyed.
- Jay SmithMy goal was to go down there and rescue a small family or two,
- John ButlerThis case is about folks trying to make money off of people in a desperate situation. That`s not right. You come to people`s rescue when they are in a desperate situation. You don`t target them as something you can make money off of.
- Mark LanierIn this case, people realized that the police simply were overwhelmed. They had too much to do trying to rescue people and couldn`t protect citizens. What should people do when they have to fend for themselves?
- John LottWe`re kind of in the rescue business.
- Tom FoxAs a little girl I used to daydream about my real father coming on a white horse to rescue me.
- Christine KeelerIt`s a real mess as anyone can imagine. We`ve been attempting to help as best we can to coordinate rescue efforts.
- John LongI think we have some lessons to learn from the past week, realizing the federal government is not going to come to our rescue in the first 72 hours,
- Roy WilsonI`m the computer operator for Operation Rescue National.
- Norma McCorveyI looked at a fetal development chart at the Operation Rescue Office in Dallas. I had a lot of emotions stirring up inside of me. That`s when I decided that it was wrong in any stage of pregnancy.
- Norma McCorveyRationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.
- Alexis CarrelWe`re going out to rescue people who are being slaughtered or massacred, but we`re going to do it at zero personal cost to ourselves.
- Amanda UhryWe remember the heroes who ran into the burning buildings to rescue those trapped inside, and the dauntless passengers on Flight 93 who laid down their lives to save others, including almost certainly those of us in the U.S. Capitol.
- Andrew FellowsI want answers - we all want answers - as to why it took so long for rescue teams to get on the ground. There is no excuse for the days of delay and the inexplicable lack of coordination in the response effort, ... We knew the danger was coming. Yet, the government failed to respond. Lives were lost because the government failed to do its job.
- Ann EvansHope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after.
- Anton Bachrul AlamIt took a little longer because it was a recovery rather than a rescue.
- Anwar NasirI witnessed firsthand what happens when the federal government fails to protect public health after disaster strikes, ... The long-term impact on human health -- and public confidence in government -- is devastating. Sierra Club`s report is a wake-up call that it could happen again, and I confess that I am concerned for the rescue workers and residents facing the aftermath of the Katrina Hurricane. We need a full investigation of what happened at Ground Zero and what our government plans to do in all future emergencies.
- Arnold Friberg(The chief`s decision to seal the bridge) prompted accusations of racial prejudice, ... But Lawson explains that initially Gretna police commandeered buses and used them to ferry more than 5,000 evacuees to a rescue site. But more and more kept coming, and after a day of this shuttling, he says, his small police force became overwhelmed.
- Art HoganI guess it gives people a positive story to look at and maybe take their mind off of Katrina. Or maybe it will inspire people to help with the rescue effort and everything like that.
- Arthur DonatoYou know the mine. Being on the mine rescue team gives you the chance to learn a lot of things about mining.
