Academy Quotations
There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can. Clint Eastwood I'm the last guy in the world to feel overlooked by the Academy. Jack Nicholson I went to the Academy and studied with Stuck who was then a big man. But didn't interest me. I didn't know that before me there was Kandinsky and Klee who had also studied with Stuck. He had a good name at that time. Josef Albers Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught. Academy, n.: A modern school where football is taught. Ambrose Bierce A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise. Mickey Rourke When I first encountered the name of the city of Stockholm, I little thought that I would ever visit it, never mind end up being welcomed to it as a guest of the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Foundation. Seamus Heaney You've probably noticed already that I'm dressed like a grown-up... I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again. Cher Music is my life, professionally, for nearly 60 years. To be recognized by the academy is still the highest honor. Ray Charles I studied at the Budapest Academy of Theatrical Arts for four years and emerged with a degree. Bela Lugosi I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity. Elia Kazan |
