Talking about Gene Hackman in Bat*21 (1988): “He don’t act. He just shows up and he ‘be’s.”

I used to watch people like Richard Burton and Mel Gibson and think, ‘I could never do that.’ When people ask me what my motivation is, I have a simple answer: money. — JR, regarding his acting ability

If I was on the air and was just kind of a plain-vanilla personality that took the safe road and the safe way trying to please all of the people all of the time, I’d been gone in two weeks.

[on starring in a movie based on singer Connie Francis] She isn’t in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and yet she was the first pop star worldwide, recorded in nine languages. She has done a lot of things for victims’ rights since her rape in the ’70s . . . There’s a major story there.

But I don’t really care for directors flaring up and trying to humble some actor, which they would do to try and make an example out of them so everybody else would stay on the ball–and [David Lynch] wasn’t anything like that.

Lily Tomlin

Born: September 1, 1939 in Detroit, Michigan, USA

Married to:
Jane Wagner (31 December 2013 – present)

I’ve been around a long time, and I interviewed with a lot of the same people over and over. I was always direct and open about my life. I would always reference Jane [Wagner] and everything, but they never choose to write about it that way — just like they never wrote about Jack Kennedy and the women in the swimming pool. It was the times, but the media culture has changed.
