‘Blue Valentine,’ Derek Cianfrance’s emotional gunslinger of a film, tears into the topic of moribund marriages with an honesty that’s hard to come by in Hollywood these days. – Katie Hafner
With ‘Mask,’ ‘Smooth Talk’ and ‘Blue Velvet,’ I loved the specific experiences so much. Each one was a specific filmmaker with a specific vision. – Laura Dern
You see in the streets of London, great and little boys running about in long blue coats, which, like robes, reach quite down to the feet, and little white bands, such as the clergy wear. – Karl Philipp Moritz
Los Angeles, the sun shines a lot, and it’s blue, and there’s palm trees; it’s a bit like Sydney, I guess, but the underbelly is a vicious, mean, cruel, awful place. – Loudon Wainwright III
At twelve I looked like a girl of seventeen. My body was developed and shapely. I still wore the blue dress and the blouse the orphanage provided. They made me look like an overgrown lummox. – Marilyn Monroe
Phillip Harrison was the production designer, though, I think he’s uncredited. He’s done most of my films like Blue Thunder. Lots and lots over the years. – John Badham

‘Dune’ was like a giant machine, and it was hard to keep track of all the pieces, but ‘Blue Velvet’ was a very sleek, compact little experience. – Kyle MacLachlan
I never fry a doughnut! If you want a doughnut, go and buy one once in a blue moon. It’s about everything in moderation. – Mary Berry
I live in jeans, mainly Wrangler and Nudie. I like them as dark blue as they’ll go and tightly woven. – Jason Flemyng
It took Cianfrance 12 years to bring ‘Blue Valentine’ to the screen after he first conceived it. He found Gosling and Williams early on, and they hung in there with him.

Empires will come and go. The Soviet Union collapses; China can become a superpower, but ‘Blue Peter’ stays the same. – Louis Theroux
The second draft is on yellow paper, that’s when I work on characterizations. The third is pink, I work on story motivations. Then blue, that’s where I cut, cut, cut. – Jacqueline Susann
If I let a blue mood run rampant, before I know it I’m obsessing about the color of the satin lining in my coffin – will it match my dress? That’s when I feel like Alice in Cancerland falling down the rabbit hole and just have to stop. – Kris Carr
All four of the actors in ‘You’re the Worst,’ we all have strong theater backgrounds. We all play off of each other in that way that you would in theater. You kind of are up for anything out of the blue happening and getting it on film, you know? We’re all just open to playing. – Kether Donohue
I always had influences musically with punk, and then growing up, I dyed my hair every color. I did the dip-dye blue, before anybody was dip-dyeing their hair. And streaks of pinks and purples and whatnot. – Leigh Lezark

In all, I was in 16 movies, including ‘The Bishop’s Wife’ with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven; I was in ‘Rio Grande’ with John Wayne, ‘Albuquerque’ with Randall Scott, ‘Blue Skies’ with Bing Crosby and ‘Hans Christian Anderson’ with Danny Kaye. – Karolyn Grimes
The first record I bought was a Carl Perkins record, because I saw him at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho. I loved Elvis and I found out that he wrote ‘Blue Suede Shoes’… so connecting that experience of going to see him play was pretty awesome. That’s when I realised I wanted to play guitar. – Josh Homme
The phrase ‘blue plate special’ has always been one of the homiest, coziest, most sweetly nostalgic phrases in the English language for me. – Kate Christensen
The Tea Party definitely scored a significant victory with Senator Cruz’s election in 2012 and scored victories in some statewide primaries. But to me, as the Tea Party gets stronger within the Republican Party in Texas, the prospect of a blue Texas becomes stronger and stronger. – Julian Castro
