“Baz [Luhrmann] paid me one of the greatest compliments ever. I don't know him, really, but when I first met him I was congratulating him on ROMEO + JULIET - which I think is a wonderful adaptation - and he said, "Oh, well we couldn't have done it without your RICHARD III, which was an inspiration!" I've never quite checked up on the dates to see whether or if, in fact, we did our film before he did his.” IfsThinkingKnowsFirstsWellsSaidDoneFactsInspirationFilmWonderfulMetsPaidComplimentAdaptationNever QuitJulietOh WellRomeo Juliet Author:Ian Mckellen
“I have always felt proud of my Oscars and my numerous nominations. This pride is due to the fact it was the result of voters from the members of my own profession. This, of course, is a great compliment for one's work. I hope each winner of an Oscar is as thrilled as I was when I received mine.” FactsCoursesFeltMy OwnResultsMinesPrideProudMembersDuesProfessionWinnerVotersComplimentOscarsNominations Author:Bette Davis
