When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office - even if I can't stay for the movie.

Gayle King

Even though I never worked with her, it was still really cool to have Brooke Shields on set. She was so nice and so funny.

Atticus Shaffer

In grad school, I took a workshop with Scott Spencer, whose excellent novel 'Endless Love' had just been turned into a film. We students were in awe of his prestige. Yet Scott himself was chagrined; for good reason, he hated the movie.

A film's success does not depend on box office collection and the number of days it was screened but on the amount of satisfaction an actor can draw from it.

Akkineni Nagarjuna

The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films.

Emraan Hashmi

To me, the box-office is basically the cost of film. If your film costs so much and your box-office is so much and a bit more, you are okay.

Sunny Deol

I love Brooke Shields. She's developed into a wonderful actress and a wonderful person. We were all babies then in Brenda Starr. That's why when people say, "What did you think of that film?" I can't do what people do and say, "I hated it." I can't speak ill of a film, because it's so hard to make a film. Everybody thinks we're sitting by a pool peeling grapes, and this is not the case. It's hard. It's hard to do this stuff - and getting harder!

Jeffrey Tambor

My only good result in 1997 was marrying Brooke Shields.

Andre Agassi

Box office success has never meant anything. I couldn't get a film made if I paid for it myself. So I'm not 'box office' and never have been, and that's never entered into my kind of mind set.

Jessica Lange

Film rights were in the offing for 'The Onion Field,' eventually made into a movie in 1979; 'The New Centurions' became a 1972 film starring George C. Scott, while 'The Blue Knight' starred William Holden in a 1973 mini-series version.

Sarah Weinman

There's only one barometer for the commercial success of a film and that's the box office. The obsession with box office doesn't annoy me. It's the main part of the business, if you get irritated with the main part then you're in trouble.

Akshaye Khanna

The Russians love Brooke Shields because her eyebrows remind them of Leonid Brezhnev.

Robin Williams

I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think - It's Brooke Shields

Tony Randall

I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think - It's Brooke Shields.

'Haraamkhor' is a low budget film. We are not worried about the box office because our film is already in profit. It's got a strong content that will reach people's heart.
