Dustin QUOTES

1 " I haven’t been able to pray with the same unquestioned simplicity of hope since Dustin passed. My childhood ended the day my brother died. The naive hope that a miracle would save him, that he would one day walk, that a disease was a blessing in my family – that hope died with him. "

― Darcy Leech , From My Mother

2 " The birds sang in the dust
in an elaborate weave, ambiguous,
deafening, prey to existence

poor passions lost between the modest
summits of groves of mulberry and elder;
and I, like them, in secluded places

reserved for the lost and pure,
would wait for evening to fall,
for the silent smells of fire

and joyous misery to fill the air,
for the Angelus bell to toll, veiled
in the new peasant mystery

fulfilled in the ancient mystery. "

― Pier Paolo Pasolini , Poems

3 " Shall I count to ten and then ring a bell before I dive down between your legs?” Dustin teased and sent her a wicked smile. "

4 " The varying physical characteristics of the actors may also necessitate changes. Sean Connery is six feet four. Dustin Hoffman isn't. "

― Sidney Lumet , Making Movies

5 " I keep trying to explain to people that the archetype of intelligence is not Dustin Hoffman in 'The Rain Man;' it is a human being, period. It is squishy things that explode in a vacuum, leaving footprints on their moon. "

6 " I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman. "

7 " I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film. "
