JakeHolman Posted August 8, 2014 It happens to be a point of view I love. This is what attracted me to the story — the difficulty of being an individual today. Life gets more and more complex and convoluted. Young people are not happy with what's going on — and they're right. The character in Lonely Are the Brave had that quality. He didn't want to belong to this day and age. It's difficult to buck the system. That's the tragedy of it. Kirk Douglas on his favorite movie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakeHolman Posted August 9, 2014 I'm a tough old broad from Brooklyn. I intend to go on acting until I'm ninety and they won't need to paste my face with make-up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakeHolman Posted August 15, 2014 [about Elvis Presley] He helped to kill off the influence of me and my contemporaries, but I respect him for that. Because music always has to progress, and no-one could have opened the door to the future like he did. Bing Crosby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JakeHolman Posted August 19, 2014 They have been the mainstay of the industry ever since its beginning. And they have been good to me. Westerns are a type of picture which everybody can see and enjoy. Westerns always make money. And they always increase a star's fan following.

JakeHolman Posted August 29, 2014 I never changed anything, except my socks and my underwear. And I never did anything to glorify myself or improve my lot. I took what came and did the best I could with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JakeHolman Posted September 6, 2014 Money must be, I guess, what first took me to Hollywood. When I first came out, I certainly had no ambition to make pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakeHolman Posted September 8, 2014 I'm not of the can-kicking, shovel-carrying, ear-scratching, torn T-shirt school of acting. There are very few real men in the movies these days. Yet being a real man is the most important quality an actor can offer on the screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakeHolman Posted September 11, 2014 When you're dead, you're dead. No one is going to remember me when I'm dead. Oh, maybe a few friends will remember me affectionately. Being remembered isn't the most important thing, anyhow. It's what you do when you are here that's important. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JakeHolman Posted September 16, 2014 John Wayne is underrated. He's an awfully good actor. He holds a thing together; he gives it a solidity and honesty, and he can make a lot of things believable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakeHolman Posted September 18, 2014 I feel very close to the western. There are not too many American art forms that are original. Most are derived from European art forms. Other than the western and jazz or blues, that's all that's really original. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JakeHolman Posted September 25, 2014 He was not only a great coach but also an extraordinary human being, and I felt privileged, humble, trying to convey the glory and the humanness that was 'Rock'.
