A Quote by Rupert Graves

I was a dozy boy; I'd like to have been like James Dean, but I was more Arthur Askey - pathetically rebellious in a cheeky, chappy sort of way.

English - Actor
Born: June 30, 1963

The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic.

Bill Hader

Suarez is like a cheeky boy, he looks like a cheeky boy who can really switch on and off how he wants to be, so that is really something. When he is on the pitch, what is going on around him doesn't bother him.

Per Mertesacker

Maybe in another life I would have liked to have been a dancer. But I was a cheeky chappy who wanted to be an actor.

Kelvin Fletcher

The first thing we did was to proclaim our Liverpoolness to the world, and say 'It's all right to come from Liverpool and talk like this'. Before, anybody from Liverpool who made it, like Ted Ray, Tommy Handley, Arthur Askey, had to lose their accent to get on the BBC.

John Lennon

I got into film acting because I wanted to be James Dean. We lost him at a very young age - he was only 24 - but I’m 51 going on 52, so there's only so many times you can act like James Dean. I had to find new ways of expressing myself that kept me fascinated with film performance.

Nicolas Cage

A lot of people in my generation have dared to ask questions like, 'Who is James Dean?' And I can't imagine asking a question like that, just because it's been ingrained in me since I was so young.

Lily Collins

I'm a postmodern commentator, and so, in a cheeky parallel to James Joyce or James Kelman, I get to places, verbally, that are a little unusual - when I talk about Jocky Wilson and end up sounding like a Jackson Pollock of the commentary box.

Sid Waddell

With him in defense, we could play Arthur Askey in goal. (after signing Ron Yeats)

Bill Shankly

Some of us are born rebellious. Like Jean Genet or Arthur Rimbaud, I roam these mean streets like a villain, a vagabond, an outcast, scavenging for the scraps that may perchance plummet off humanity's dirty plates, though often sometimes taking a cab to a restaurant is more convenient.

Patti Smith

There's a wealth of information on James Dean, and everybody has an opinion on him. James Dean made some kind of impression on everybody.

Dane DeHaan

Theres a wealth of information on James Dean, and everybody has an opinion on him. James Dean made some kind of impression on everybody.

Dane DeHaan

I like Brando's acting ... and James Dean ... and Richard Widmark. Quite a few of 'em I like.

Elvis Presley

I've always been a very rebellious, philosophical person, so my mother set the foundation for my appreciation for nature and my empathy for other people. But then, being a sort of rebellious, philosophical thinker, I'm always looking for new ways to shake things up. So I feel like I'm really lucky to be alive in a time where there's so much opportunity to disrupt and shake it up. It's sort of a combination between that and having the foundation that my mother gave me.

Adrian Grenier

Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean.

Glenn Frey

I wish James Dean would never have died. Then he'd be fat and acting on Dynasty or something. There wouldn't be this whiny-boy act that's so prevalent everywhere.

Jane Leeves

Jim Dean and Elvis were the spokesmen for an entire generation. When I was in acting school in New York, years ago, there was a saying that if Marlon Brando changed the way people acted, then James Dean changed the way people lived. He was the greatest actor who ever lived. He was simply a genius.
