Let him say what he will about me!::President Andrew Jackson: No man can say what he will about my wife!!

Famous quotes by Jason Robards:

"I can't believe it,"

"I've always played disintegrated characters. I don't know much about acting, but I can play those kinds of characters."

"All I know is, I don't do a lot of analysis. I know those words have to move me. I rely on the author. I don't want actors reasoning with me about 'motivation' and all that bull. All I want 'em to do is learn the goddamn lines and don't bump into each other."

"One doctor said to me, 'The more people pray for you, the more energy is put out somewhere,' ... And he said, 'I'm a doctor telling you this: It works.'"

"We didn't rush. We had to be very careful to make sure it was the truth. This was Washington."

"All the President's Men."

"I can't believe it. I not only worked for him, I loved him very much."

"the definitive interpreter of the works of playwright Eugene O'Neill."
