Quotes About James Dean

Thursday, September 13, 2007

I love reading what other people talks about my fandoms, because my idols can't describe themselves as openly as their friends, and these are my especial favorite quotes about James Dean.

"He was very afraid of being hurt. He was afraid of opening up in case it was turned around and used against him."
-- Elizabeth Taylor

"I didn't know what to do. How do you tell an eight-year-old boy his mother's going to die? I tried. In my own stumbling way I tried to prepare Jim for it. Nowadays, he lives in a world we don't understand too well, the actor's world. We don't see too much of him. But he's a good boy, my Jim. A good boy, and I"m very proud of him. Not easy to understand, no sir. He's not easy to understand. But he's all man, and he'll make his mark. Mind you, my boy will make his mark."
-- Winton Dean in Modern Screen, August 1955

"He could look in a delicatessen window and suddenly start waving at a bowl of prunes, like they were alive. He was childish in a charming way."
-- Christine White
(If you look at his eyes, he had this child-like look that makes me fall in love all over again :D)

"He didn't show you very much. He'd challenge you to find him. Then when you'd found him, he'd still make you guess.
It was an endless game with him. The thing people missed about Jimmy was his mischievousness. He was the most constantly mischievous person I think I've ever met. Full of tricks, full of magic, full of outrageousness."
-- Stuart Stern

"When he was interested and participating, his energy was powerful. He had the greatest of intellectual qualities - curiosity about everything."
-- Roy Schatt

"He turned out to be a fascinating and intelligent young man who talked fluently about artists in music. And he was surprisingly knowledgeable about such recondite composers as Schönberg and Bartók."
-- Oscar Levant

"What I remember most about him was the little boy quality shining forth at you from behind those thick glasses of his, tearing at your heart. He had that extreme and touching idealism of youth which made you wish that he would never have to be disillusioned. Now he won't be."
-- Louella Parsons

"I have never seen an actor as dedicated, with the extreme concentration and exceptional imagination as James Dean. He could take the written imaginary circumstance and make it his own by improvising - lying on the ground in a fetal position playing with a wound-up toy monkey beating its cymbals, giggling while being searched in the police station because it tickled, standing up in a drunken daze making the sound of sirens with his arms outstretched, hitting his fists into the sergeant's desk, jumping off a diving board into a swimming pool with no water, or doing the voice of Mr. Magoo throughout the movie, which was the voice of Jim Backus, his father in Rebel - things that were not written on the page, things that were invented by the actor."
-- Dennis Hopper

My name is Maria but everyone knows me as Chester... as the site's name explains it, I was born a fan, I have just too many fandoms to make a site for every single one of them, that's why I decided to make a site for them all. I'm going to be an English teacher and I love this language way too much (I actually use it on the net way more than my mother's language). I'm 22 years old but I still feel like I'm 12, life is happier that way. I'm blind as a bat but I love to read, write and draw (the last one just where there's a LOT of light). I don't believe in trends and I consider myself unique, I love to laugh but I can be really explosive too.

My dog's name is Paul after Paul McCartney, one of my biggest fandoms, his full name is actually Paul Dylan Presley hehe I'll never have enough dogs to name them after my fandoms haha!. He's my beautiful baby and even though he can some times get on my nerves I love him way too much.

I love watching movies, I've seen and I own so many movies it can't be healthy *lol* my latest addition (Sept 6th, 2007) was Down With Love of Ewan McGregor. My favorite movie's probably Moulin Rouge because I've seen it more than 10 times. But I fell really hard for Giant of James Dean. But choosing just one movie is like trying to choose for ONE favorite song, so I have a lot of fave movies.

My favorite actors are from Elvis to Noah Wyle, if I've seen so many movies it's because I watch one (i.g. Constantine) and I get obsessed with the lead actor (in this case Keanu Reeves) I save myself the problem to think about what to see when I go to rent movies, I only walk through the place looking for movies of Keanu Reeves and after I've seen all of the movies they have of this actor I get obsessed with another one and watch almost all of his movies, and that's why I've seen like a thousand movies haha. But when I really get obsessed I buy the movies, like the movies of Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, James Dean, Elvis, etc. (Even though I bought Rebel Without A Cause before I fell for James Dean haha).

I have a huuuge obsession with Superman and Star Wars, I even bought a kids outfit just because it had Brandon Routh's picture on it, I don't even have little brothers haha.

About Music, phh... my favorite subject, I listen to all kind of music, I'm a good critic, I don't hate a singer or band just because, if I don't like a singer or a band it's because I've heard their work and I didn't like it, I don't follow trends, not even in music, so I can like pop as much as I can like the heaviest rock if the music and lyrics are good or I just simply like them for the silliest reason. My bands are The Beatles, Linkin Park, The Doors and Nirvana as I've mentioned before. I've been a fan of Linkin Park for 6 years, and 4 years for the rest. I have a huuuge collection of things of this bands, DVD's, CD's, Callendars, T-shirts, Posters, etc.

I watch movies or listen to music just as much as I read (well, not that much 'cause I actually don't have enough time to do them all, ALL the time) but I read a lot, just like music or films, I don't have a specific type of books, I like them all, I've read from J.K. Rowling to Oscar Wilde, right now I'm reading a book called Demian, I haven't had the time to finish it, I'm already in the middle of the book and I've only sat to read it once.

Oh and as you can see, I love to write about me hehe, a bit egocentric, I call it the rockstar complex haha. But I guess that's all, if you want to know more about me all you have to do is ask.

ABOUT

I made this site because I have a lot of fandoms. I like a lot of movies like I like a lot of bands and I already have too much sites about my favorite bands, so the idea of this one was to talk about everything I like here instead of making another 10000 sites.

I hope I can make it as interesting as possible, but if you don't like what you see, I'm sorry... I only talk about what I like.

Thanks for visiting the site and hope you had a great time.
