"[to director George Stevens] You know, you keep me waiting hours preparing for some scene. You never even get around to shooting. So I ain't working today. And you do it again, I'm gonna take two days, and then three."

"I'm not even interested in this glitzy glamour crap! All right! If you wanna wear monkey suits! That's fine! Not me!"

"[to Julie Harris, after the filming for East of Eden is finished] It's over. You know, this- this is like my family, and... I can't just let that go."

"[to Pier Angeli] Tell Vic Damone and your crazy mother, to stay out of our lives!"

"I'm playing the drums! Go to hell!"

"[voice over] I decided to move to New York. Every actor I cared about, Brando, Clift, even Whitmore, all worked in New York. New York was big and lonely. I loved it. Being a struggling actor in New York in the 1950s was the best, it was the right place at the right time. Stop worrying about my mother and father for a while. I was dead broke, didn't matter, cause I was home."

"I don't want to be just good. I want to be great."

"[voice over, opening lines] My mother made me promise to be an artist. She taught me that imagination can take a person anywhere. Mine took me from Indiana, to Broadway, to Hollywood. She was right."

"[to his dinner guests] I thank you for your good wishes on my birthday. It has been a long life and an interesting one. But I shall be content with only a short while more. Just enough to dispense with any thought of a Regency. So that I may pass the Royal Authority directly to that young lady. And not to the hands of a person now near me who is surrounded by evil advisers and who cannot act with propriety in the station in which she's been placed! I have been insulted! Grossly and continually insulted! She has kept her daughter, my brother's child, from my Court! But from now on, I'll have her know that I am King! And I will not be flouted or disobeyed by her or by that jackanapes she keeps about her!"

"How can my little niece and nephew have grown up when I wasn't looking?"

"Mark my words. The reign of King Conroy is coming!"

"She starts on your watch, Lord Melbourne. Guard her well and keep her safe from harm."

"What do you call a man who waits for a rich woman to decide whether or not she wants him?"

"[to Victoria] For pity's sake, smile, woman. Anyone would think we had quarreled."

"[after being released from her corset] The untold luxury of being able to breathe again."

"[to her council] I am young, but I am willing to learn, and I mean to devote my life to the service of my country and my people. I look for your help in this. I know I shall not be disappointed. Thank you."

"[upset, to her mother] Oh, and if you think that I will ever forget that you just stood by silent and you watched him treat me thus, you are dreaming!"

"The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived and all the crops are long gone. Soon all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food. Within a year there was fire on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke."

"[to the boy] I will kill anyone who touches you. Because that's my job."

"Garret Dillahunt - Gang Member"

"I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive. It's when you start to dream about good things that you should start to worry."
