80s Quotations

Mickey Rourke was the Brad Renfro of the '80s.

I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early 80s.

I became somewhat reclusive during a period of time in the '80s.

I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.

I'm in my 80s and not a keen television fan.

I lived in Los Angeles in the '80s, which was not the best place to be.

The mood of the 80s - Get what you can, can what you get, and sit on the can.

Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.

I don't have an iPod. I don't get the whole iPod thing. Who has time to listen to that much music? If I had one, it would probably have Sinatra, Beatles, some '70s music, some '80s music, and that's it

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.

I think the action movies in the 80s and 90s were different. It was a testosterone age. Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone - they fuelled my childhood. But now I don't think I'd like to do just action, I don't enjoy that.

The first rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club.

Everybody's still in the 70s and 80s musically, still making remakes.

In a lot of places, of course, the '80s had never really come to an end.

I grew up in the '80s and '90s listening to Public Enemy and Mobb Deep and the Smashing Pumpkins. I don't even know what it was like in the '60s - I wasn't alive then - so the Mayer Hawthorne sound is taking what I can learn from the classics, and blending it with my hip-hop DJ and producer background and punk-rock bands that I played in as a kid.

There's reality shows and things like that and I think 'Parenthood''s kind of a throwback to what we used to have back in the '70s, '80s and '90s. People want to see this again, and I feel like it's just a solid, good show.

Back in the '80s and '90s, when GM was consistently posting giant profits, they were simultaneously firing tens of thousands of workers in my hometown of Flint and across Michigan.

There was a thing during those times in the '80s where it was like Sex Pistols then Nirvana and nothing in between.

I grew up idolizing these men, like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I loved Sly (Stallone). I loved Bruce Willis. These guys embodied everything that action was in the 80s and 90s.

I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.

I was not even allowed to mention the name Madonna in my household - just because I think the '80s and '90s were so Madonna-filled. She was going through so many evolutions at that time.

It was a different sexual situation going on than it is in the '80s and '90s, and I did a very poor job of describing that.
