John Dahl

Famous quotes by John Dahl:

"My father was a combat infantry rifleman in the Philippines, ... Like a lot of World War II veterans, he doesn't talk much about it."

"That's fine with me. I like the process of making movies."

"He's too busy promoting his nominees."

"The original script envisioned this men-on-a-mission story like 'Guns of Navarone' or 'The Dirty Dozen,' with 12 people instead of 120, ... But the actual events were pretty spectacular, so we told Miramax, 'You've got an amazing piece of material here; we should try to tell it as accurately as possible.'"

"Dale single-handedly chang-ed the way Hollywood makes movies about the military, ... He gives the actors a real sense of obligation about what they're doing. At night he'd play '40s music and talk about some of the history leading up to the war in Japan so he could bring these guys into this frame of thinking."

"[Infantry boot camp was so effective that Dye organized POW simulation exercises as well.] We made all the actors take their shoes off, put 'em around their neck and walk 2 miles to the camp, ... In the camp, the actors would only speak Japanese to them -- no English at all -- because we wanted the actors to understand that feeling where you've got somebody screaming at you in Japanese, which I think would be terrifying."

"It's a story about American combat in a foreign country, ... and it's a heroic story. Right now, not too many foreign territories are interested in that kind of story, and it has to do well overseas."

"He's good-looking, he's got a great charismatic presence, and he's a very good actor. He hasn't always had the material or opportunity to show just how good. In a lot of ways, he's very underrated. When he came aboard, he went all the way."

"He is the man to go to. He changed the way the military was portrayed in films and made it more accurate."

"I did not go to boot camp, ... but our actors did. I am not an actor, so I was spared."

Ich Moechte Nicht, Dass Ihr Meine Lieder Singt!

by: Jan Delay

Die mit dem sonnenbank-funk und dem talkshow-soul.
die mit dem kaufhaus-punk und hannoveranischen rock&roll.
ihr wählt doch sonst auch immer das falsche, wenn ihr die wahl habt.
ihr steht doch sonst auch immer auf sauber, ordentlich und aalglatt!
(und darum)
möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt!
denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen!
sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden.
und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen!
ich möchte mich nicht in köpfen befinden, zusammen mit gedanken,
die unter einfluß vom axel springer-verlag entstanden!
in den ganzen verstrahlten hirnen, wär ich gern abhanden!
denn vor allem, können die babylonier nicht klatschen und tanzen!
viele sagen:" daß sind deine fans, deine finanziers!",
aber mir ist diese meinung latte!
wenn da draußen niemand ist der mich versteht, verkauf
ich halt nur eine platte!! (und darum)
möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt!
denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen!
sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden.
und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen!
möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt!
denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen!
sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden.
und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen!
immer wenn von euern lippen mein lied erklingt,
ist es wie für einen writer, wenn sie seinen wholecar buffen!
