"(My fans) say, `I`ve seen Star Wars and Moulin Rouge!. What else should we try to see you in?` I always tell `em to get The Pillow Book (1996). That would be a bit of an eye-opener for them, wouldn`t it?"
- Ewan McGregorI needed to go and just find out exactly what it meant to be out and having fun in a kind of hedonistic and debauched environment. That`s right, something I wasn`t familiar with. (on researching for Moulin Rouge)
- Ewan McGregorStarting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this? (on Moulin Rouge)
- Ewan McGregorOn the one role that got away: "I`d have to say Ewan McGregor`s part in Moulin Rouge! (2001). It was soooo close. I sang and everything. I went through months of auditions. It was between me, Heath Ledger and Ewan. I think it came down to age and where people were in their careers. I was the youngest and the least known. I would hope it didn`t have anything to do with talent. Maybe it did".
- Jake GyllenhaalYou probably won`t see me dance in the movies again unless there`s a `Moulin Rouge 2` or `Chicago Returns`.
- Jamie BellI had to twist his (Freddie`s) arm and leg to see Moulin Rouge! Although he enjoyed it once we were there. In fact, there was a moment during the evening when I swear I thought he was going to leave me for Nicole Kidman but then, who could blame him? I`d probably leave him for Nicole if she asked. She`s hot!
- Sarah Michelle GellarThe current real estate market in Baton Rouge provided this opportunity, which is representative of our continuing strategy to invest in attractive millennium growth trends.
- Anthony MooreOne of the proud moments for us was Robert Wise, who directed Sound of Music and West Side Story, he is the great-great grandfather of musical cinema and he said, I`ve seen Moulin Rouge and the musical has been re-invented." I bring this up because you get that kind of thing and that`s wonderful."
- Baz LuhrmannMoulin Rouge
- Baz LuhrmannIt would be different in Baton Rouge. This has place has two, three streets. I hope it doesn`t start stinking around here.
- Jackie WilsonA long and difficult settlement looms. For Houston or Baton Rouge, these are huge numbers of people for them. They are desperately poor, seriously depressed, lost individuals with nothing. They are going to be hard to absorb. It`s an enormous burden for a city to take it on. After the shock and warmth and compassion wear off, these refugees are going to have to find a way to become new citizens in these new places.
- James GregoryI was very proud of them. It was heavy on their hearts and they moved fast. Peyton got the plane lined up. Their mother and I think that it did some good. I`ve heard so many comments from people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. And after talking to the boys when I got back I could tell it did them some good, too.
- Archie ManningAnd all I was doing was playing all those funky blues tunes and rock and roll songs I`d played with my band back in Baton Rouge in the `50s.
- Johnny RiversIt took four hours just to get to Baton Rouge.
- Linda TaylorThese buildings are the history of the community and they represent the human history of the community, ... There is just so much going on in Old South Baton Rouge that the rest of the community doesn`t appreciate, and it`s because they don`t know.
- Jay EdwardsMy mother is with her sister in Arkansas, my brother is in Baton Rouge with his wife`s family and my sister who just walked in is here with me,
- Bob Ballard(It is too early to get an accurate demographic picture of Baton Rouge`s new population, but it will certainly include many people who are on public assistance or among the working poor.) Folks with the least resources tend to go the least distance, ... That`s us.
- John Davies(Baton Rouge definitely needs some help with its infrastructure.) If we had capacity problems before, we can`t even imagine it now, ... We`re already at capacity, and we will grow more.
- John DaviesThe trial organized with U.N. participation of some kind will be for crimes committed by Khmer Rouge leaders from 1975 to 1979. That`s it.
- Alexis AdamjeeBaton Rouge, New Orleans and southern Louisiana are the largest shipping complex in the world, and the U.S. is extremely reliant on shipping in the Mississippi River corridor and Gulfport, Miss.
- Arthur CraigmillThe weather in Baton Rouge hasn`t been an issue, ... It`s just been the amount of evacuees we`ve had to adjust to.
- Asha BangaloreThey`re talking about changing the (Louisiana) state song to helicopter blades flapping and a siren wailing, ... I`d imagine Baton Rouge is even worse to drive in now.
- Asha BangaloreThis is what the war has done to me. Now I want to destroy because of it. There is such hate and rage inside of me now. The Angkar (Khmer Rouge government) has taught me to hate so deeply that I know I have the power to destroy and kill,
- Ashley MagnaniWe`re not living in the middle of that every day. It`s life. There are folks in Baton Rouge who are having to deal with circumstances that hopefully none of us will ever have to deal with personally. That`s what makes it touchy.
