(Talking about Basic Instinct 2 (2006)): "By the time the film is released, I will be 48 and I wanted to do the nudity in a way that`s quite brazen. I wanted her to be very masculine, like a man in a steam room and I wanted the audience to have a moment where they realize she`s naked and then realize that she`s a forty something woman and naked. Because we`re not used to seeing that in movies. We`re used to seeing Sean Connery and his granddaughter, you know what I mean? Or Mel Gibson and his daughter".
- Sharon StoneI guess I went a little nuts. But I knew I didn`t want to be at the (movie) premiere with 500 people 6 months down the line, embarrassed by my physical condition. So I developed a program that was Olympic in its intensity. Eight hours a day, six days a week, combining martial arts, yoga, weight lifting, running, swimming, and stationary bike. I went to Maui `cause I had to be in tropical climate to burn the fat. I brought my chef who had the difficult task of preparing three meals a day with no salt, no fat, no red meat, no cholesterol, and still keeping it interesting, you know? Maybe a plate of steam for breakfast. - On how (and why) he got so muscular and fit for the Rambo sequence in Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993).
- Charlie SheenI`m pretty good at indulging myself. I`m about to go travel for a week. I like to get massaged, go into steam rooms. I take care of myself.
- Maggie GyllenhaalI was born too late for steam trains and a lazy eye meant I`d never be an astronaut.
- Mark HaddonI usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night`s show. If there`s one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can`t eat later than four o`clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That`s my day.
- Phil CollinsLet the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam.
- Conor OberstIf there`s a giant cabal of important films in October, there will be a bottleneck of major titles difficult to play through. They`ll lose steam just as other films are demanding screens. If the fall is a disaster, then everything will play longer.
- Ray PriceI think if humans are really going to explore the solar system, or go beyond our immediate neighborhood, we are going to have to go with nuclear power. Nuclear power really is the development of the steam ship compared to sailing ships.
- Steve HoweYou can`t lose by adding a bath, ... If you`re remodeling, his and her dressing rooms, even his and her bathrooms, are big. Then the husband can shave and the wife can fix her hair without the shower steam. If money`s tight, just replacing the water fixtures helps.
- Mary JohnsonThe railroad originally was as completely dissociated from steam propulsion as was the ship.
- John MoodyBasically the first half-hour of the opera is an extended prologue, which is all material from the first two weeks of July 1945, ... Germany has just capitulated. Truman is meeting Stalin at Potsdam, which is where all this pressure comes from for the test to work. Oppenheimer has been in these meetings in Washington to select the target, and it`s full steam ahead to Japan.
- Peter SellarsNot as ours the books of old - Things that steam can stamp and fold; Not as ours the books of yore - Rows of type, and nothing more.
- Al HahnA tool is usually more simple than a machine; it is generally used with the hand, whilst a machine is frequently moved by animal or steam power.
- Alan CurryThe German Emperor is ageing me; he is like a battleship with steam up and screws going, but with no rudder, and he will run into something some day and cause a catastrophe.
- Albert NewgardenWhen steam first began to pump and wheels go round at so many revolutions per minute, what are called business habits were intended to make the life of man run in harmony with the steam engine, and his movement rival the train in punctuality.
- Alex P. SchmidThe first day at the power plant I found myself photographing some steam vents on the roof of the structure. And I remember consciously thinking that they were just like trees but they were metal.
- Allan BrophyMy mother would put me on a wooden box at the stove and tell me to call her if certain things would happen. Like if the steam turns blue, that is danger!
