I didn`t want to be an actor who played Italian thugs. I`m not even interested in those guys really, unless it`s a great part. And I knew that movies were predicated on how you look. But a few people gave me the opportunities to do other things, and I just took it and ran with it.
- John TurturroLook, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can`t I for once play that on stage? -to the producers of the stage version of "Angels in America" while auditioning for the part of "Louis".
- Jason IsaacsThe real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs.
- Sandra BernhardI`m no longer going to play thugs or debauched cops that I can`t possibly make complex characters. I`m bigger than that. I owe too much to too many good people at the Goodman, Arena and Playwrights Horizons.
- Isaiah WashingtonI guess the downside to some of these movies is that they associate boxing with thugs and uneducated boneheads. I go about my business as a professional athlete. I train twice a day, six days a week, have my fights and the rest of the time I spend with my family and friends.
- Danny GreenThe Indonesian military is still paying these people, still encouraging them, ... These are real thugs, and they have to be dealt with.
- Richard HolbrookeThey have what you call a black night where they have black people come in for just one night only to watch comedy, and you get all your local drug dealers, thugs, prostitutes, all of them come in, sit down, and listen to you tell jokes. They the hardest people to make laugh.
- Mike EppsWell, we can`t afford blindness anymore. There are tens of thousands of thugs who loathe liberty and love death, and want to annihilate Western civilization.
- Tony SnowWe saw the whole world closing their eyes and ears, leaving us alone to thugs and gangsters. The genocide took away a million people in a 100 days.
- Paul Rusesabagina(Amid that shared misery, Salazar formed a bond with his fellows, thugs though many of them were.) In your house you can kick the dog, ... But if I kick your dog, that`s a different story. Once you leave the Foreign Legion gates, every man with a kepi blanc is your brother, without question. I can rest assured that if I was ever in any trouble in the south of France there`d be about 20 legionnaires backing me up. And to this day if I see a legionnaire on the street, he`s my brother.
