If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward, would the taxi driver end up owing you money?

Steven Wright

If he (The New York Taxi Driver) talked to me, he might lose his concentration, which would be very bad because the taxi has some kind of problem with the steering, probably dead pedestrians lodged in the mechanism, the result being that there is a delay of 8 to 10 seconds between the time the driver turns the wheel and the time the taxi actually changes direction, a handicap that the driver is compensating for by going 175 miles per hour, at which velocity we are able to remain airborne almost to the far rim of some of the smaller potholes.

Dave Barry

I saw 'Taxi Driver,' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying, 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.

Michael Biehn

No, in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.

David R. Ellis

There used to be a strong belief that if you wanted to know what was really going on in a country, the best thing to do was to go there and ask a taxi driver.

Michael Korda

Personally, I would really like the entire production staff of Taxi Driver,' and all the characters including prosecutor Kang Ha Na, to come back together and continue the stories of Rainbow Taxi.

Hitting bottom and hitting it hard was the worst thing that ever happened to me and the best thing that ever happened to me.

Dave Ramsey

In the past, I’ve had my share of good reviews, but it’s always the crazy, scary, weirdo guy. I don’t even know how it happened. Look at me. I mean, when I’m naked, I look like a bald chicken. How did I get to be a scary bad guy?

Gary Oldman

Every taxi driver I have ever spoken to has a theory of gender.

Judith Butler

The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that's where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don't come home your best self.

George Saunders

The best thing that's ever happened to me is my daughter. To be a Mom is the best thing in the world. You know, that's all I really wanted to do after I had finished doing films.

Marilyn Chambers

Again I take a taxi to Clichy address, but feel that I do not want to go on loving Henry more actively than he loves me (having realized that nobody will ever love me in that overabundant, overexpressive, overthoughtful, overhuman way I love people), and so I will wait for him. So I ask taxi driver to drop me at the Galeries Lafayette, where I begin to look for a new hat and to shop for Christmas. Pride? I don't know. A kind of wise retreat. I need people too much. So I bury my gigantic defect, my overflow of love, under trivialities, like a child. I amuse myself with a new hat.

Anais Nin

I have a driver's licence, but the truth is that I hardly ever drive. I prefer to get around by taxi.

Taxi Driver' is a movie that changed my life and made me a serious actor. Scorsese and De Niro. I give credit for anything that I've ever done as an actor.

My dad was a taxi driver - he's a long distance lorry driver now - and he has an amazing work ethic.
