• La pena capital, esa cosa me asusta, de verdad. Estaba hablando con mi amigo sobre la silla eléctrica, y empezó a flipar. Decía: "¿La silla eléctrica? Es demasiado buena para esta gente. Eso es demasiado bueno para ellos'. Muy bien, ¿cómo hacemos que la silla eléctrica sea peor? ¿Qué tal esto? Tienen que pedalear una batería de coche a su propia cabeza. ¿Está bien así? ¿Es suficiente, Sr. Hitler?

• Stepping out of the director's chair completely and into a scene as an actor was weird.

• In truth, the cinema as a delivery system obviously has its days numbered. And that's not a bad thing. When you can buy any book in the world on your iPad, or off Amazon, you don't go the public library. The public library becomes about homeless gentlemen sleeping in chairs.

• One of the young production assistants (on 'Terminator: Salvation') stepped over to my chair and said, 'Mr. Ironside, are you any relation to the Ironside who was in 'Top Gun'?' And I said, 'I am, yes.' And she grinned and said, 'I knew it! Talent must run in your family!' And she walked away. And all of the producers and directors kind of looked at me uncertainly, and I said, 'What are you guys so uncomfortable for? That's an incredible compliment. I do look like the father of that guy, for Christ's sake!'

• he first make-up crew had three test runs, so by the time we were shooting, they got it down to three hours. They switched make-up crews for Eclipse and they never had any test runs, and they had to figure out what the other team had done, so the first day, I was in the chair for eight hours. But, they adjusted the scar from New Moon to Eclipse. The first time, there was more pullage on my face, so I had a hard time eating. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable.

• Yo solía ser capaz de sentarme en una silla y durante cuatro horas seguidas de una manera muy centrada meditativa estar en mi propio mundo sin ay interrupción. Y ahora es como si tu cerebro estuviera tan entrenado para mirar el teléfono, y hay como una liberación de dopamina cada vez que recibes un mensaje, ya sea bueno o malo. Me preocupa mucho lo que le está haciendo a nuestras mentes.

• No puedes tocar a las strippers. ¿Por qué pagas para no tocar a alguien? Eso es raro. ¿Cómo ganas en esa situación?

Mejor aún, me sentaré en esta silla para que me la pongas alrededor de la boca y las pelotas".

• Our common stock of words embodies all the distinctions men have found worth drawing, and the connexions they have found worth marketing, in the lifetimes of many generation; these surely are likely to be more numerous, more sound, since they have stood up to the long test of thee survival of the fittest, and more subtle, at least in all ordinary and reasonably practical matters, than any that you or I are likely to think up in our arm-chairs of an afternoon-the most favoured alternative method.

• Sometimes God does something dramatic to get our attention. That's what happened to me in 1975. My family and I were enjoying the peace and quiet of a borrowed cabin in the Colorado Rockies.
