Lady Sylvia McCordle: Mr Weissman
Tell us about the film you're going to make.
Morris Weissman: Oh, sure. It's called "Charlie Chan In London". It's a detective story.
Mabel Nesbitt: Set in London?
Morris Weissman: Well, not really. Most of it takes place at a shooting party in a country house. Sort of like this one, actually. Murder in the middle of the night, a lot of guests for the weekend, everyone's a suspect. You know, that sort of thing.
Constance: How horrid. And who turns out to have done it?
Morris Weissman: Oh, I couldn't tell you that. It would spoil it for you.
Constance: Oh, but none of us will see it. ~ Julian Fellowes
Charlie Chan quotes by Julian Fellowes
He dragged his words painfully from the poets ~ Earl Derr Biggers
Charlie Chan quotes by Earl Derr Biggers
I haven't said it yet, but it seemed implied, that cinema for me was the American one, current Hollywood productions. "My" period goes roughly from The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (Henry Hathaway, 1935) with Gary Cooper and Mutiny on the Bounty (Frank Lloyd, 1935) with Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, to the death of Jean Harlow (which I relived many years later like the death of Marilyn Monroe, in an era more aware of the neurotic power of every symbol), with lots of comedies in between, the mystery-romances with Myrna Loy and William Powell and the dog Asta, the musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, the crime pictures of Chinese detective Charlie Chan and the horror films of Boris Karloff. I didn't remember the names of the directors as well as the names of the actors, except for a few like Frank Capra, Gregory La Cava, and Frank Borzage, who represented the poor rather than the millionaires, usually with Spencer Tracy: they were the good-natured directors from the Roosevelt era; I learned this later; back then I consumed everything without distinguishing between them too much. American cinema in that moment consisted of a collection of actors' faces without equal before or after (at least it seemed that way to me) and the adventures were simple mechanisms to get these faces together (sweethearts, character actors, extras) in different combinations. ~ Italo Calvino
Charlie Chan quotes by Italo Calvino
Truth is rare fruit in garden of murder. ~ Earl Derr Biggers
Charlie Chan quotes by Earl Derr Biggers
Some Japs killed themselves. Who gives a shit? No tickee, no washee. Where's Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto? It's Sunday morning - this sure beats church. ~ James Ellroy
Charlie Chan quotes by James Ellroy
He turned to Miss Minerva. "I'm relying on you, at any rate. You've got a good mind. Anybody can see that."
"Thank you," she said.
"As good as a man's," he added.
"Oh, now you've spoiled it! ~ Earl Derr Biggers
Charlie Chan quotes by Earl Derr Biggers
I felt pretty good growing up. I didn't feel a lot of prejudice or racism. But I do remember, if there was going to be a movie or a television show with Asian characters, I would go out of my way to avoid them, because they portrayed all Asians as either ridiculously good or ridiculously bad; you know, the whole Charlie Chan-Fu Manchu thing. ~ David Henry Hwang
Charlie Chan quotes by David Henry Hwang
Linus: What would you say you want most out of life, Charlie Brown? To be happy?
CB: Oh, no. I don't expect that. I really don't. I just don't want to be unhappy! ~ Charles M. Schulz
Charlie Chan quotes by Charles M. Schulz
I call myself the assistant cult leader. ~ Charlie Munger
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Munger
You two still here?" Ash waved a hand in dismissal at Calvin. "Why don't you and your toy tiger go play pirates or something? Leave the drinking to the big boys. And Dex. ~ Charlie Cochet
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Cochet
Ornette Coleman wasn't sure whether he was going to continue with Charlie Haden-Charlie had some personal problems. I said "You've got to be kidding! There's no one on the globe who will be able to accompany you" and no one ever did. [Scott LaFaro] was playing atonally and certainly Ornette was not an atonal player. Jimmy Garrison was a tonal player. He wasn't even polytonal or atonal. ~ Paul Bley
Charlie Chan quotes by Paul Bley
It's very important not to talk down to kids, and to give them something which they think is quite grown-up and hardcore. Kids themselves are very good at self-censoring. If they don't like something, if they think it's too strong for them, they'll simply stop reading. That's the thing about a book, you can't force someone to read it ... I think there's a lot in my books about friendship, leadership, about society and how it works, how we learn to live with each other and what skills do we need to make a viable society. Kids don't need to know any of that, they just want someone to be eaten again. ~ Charlie Higson
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Higson
Lots of people say to me, 'I completely hate Busted'. That's completely cool with me. I understand why. ~ Charlie Simpson
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Simpson
The unifying thread through all these different aspects of music business is just my attraction toward working with sounds and designing new scary, evil, dark sounds. ~ Charlie Clouser
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Clouser
Then forgive yourself!" she shouted, pushing herself back up. She pressed her palm against the wall for support. "Everyone has a dark side! But it's their choice whether or not they cultivate it. Don't you understand? Lira's exploited hers, but not you. Not you, Emery Thane. ~ Charlie N. Holmberg
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie N. Holmberg
The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in; machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical,
our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity,
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost. ~ Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I was never really a child actor. I was working sporadically in indie films in Pennsylvania, but I was still living at home. ~ Charlie McDermott
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie McDermott
Scratching off a postcard to Charlie Taylor, Orville expressed the same spirit in a lighter vein. Flying machine market has been very unsteady the past two days. Opened yesterday morning at about 208 (100% means even chance of success) but by noon had dropped to 110. These fluctuations would have produced a panic, I think, in Wall Street, but in this quiet place it only put us to thinking and figuring a little. ~ David McCullough
Charlie Chan quotes by David McCullough
Probably, we should all hate you," he was saying to Cade. "Illinois played against Northwestern that year for our homecoming, and you totally slaughtered us - " He broke off at the sound of a knock on the interior door to the suite.

A woman in her early twenties, dressed in a skirt and a black T-shirt with "Sterling Restaurants" in red letters, walked into the suite pushing a three-tiered dessert cart.

"Sweet Jesus, it's here," Charlie whispered reverently.

Brooke fought back a smile. The dessert cart was something Sterling Restaurants had introduced a year ago, as a perk for all of the skyboxes and luxury suites at the sports arenas they collaborated with. Needless to say, it had been a huge success. Four kinds of cake (chocolate with toffee glaze, carrot cake, traditional cheesecake, and a pineapple-raspberry tart), three types of cookies (chocolate chip, M&M, and oatmeal raisin), blond brownies, dark chocolate brownies, lemon squares, peach cobbler, four kinds of dessert liquors, taffy apples, and, on the third tier, a make-your-own sundae bar with all the fixings.

"Wow. That is some spread," Vaughn said, wide-eyed.

Simultaneously, the men sprang forward, bulldozed their way through the suite door, and attacked the cart like a pack of starving Survivor contestants.

All except for one.

Cade stayed right there, on the terrace. He leaned back against the railing, stretching out his tall, broad-sh ~ Julie James
Charlie Chan quotes by Julie James
Move only when you have an advantage. It's very basic. You have to understand the odds and have the discipline to bet only when the odds are in your favor. ~ Charlie Munger
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Munger
Violins sang, brass crowed, while bassoons, she felt, rumbled according to a Richter scale all of their own. Charlie ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Charlie Chan quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
I refuse to grow up. I won't become the adult guy. ~ Charlie Sheen
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Sheen
I don't think my church's teachings were incorrect, just incomplete. ~ Francis Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Francis Chan
To be able to play as slow as Al Jackson is almost impossible. ~ Charlie Watts
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Watts
As a leader, if you follow your heart, you will have the courage to take on any risk because your heart will lead you to the solution and avoid the risk. ~ Angeline Kobe Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Angeline Kobe Chan
months of study to learn how to form the bones and joints so ~ Charlie N. Holmberg
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie N. Holmberg
Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. ~ Francis Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Francis Chan
As their hero, the corporate mafia is planning to do a movie on the life of Moammar Khadafy. They are reported to be considering Charlie Sheen in the lead role. ~ Gunther Boccius
Charlie Chan quotes by Gunther Boccius
Through this experience, I came to understand that my desire for my children is only a faint echo of God's great love for me and for every person He made. I am just an earthly, sinful father, and I love my kids so much it hurts. How could I not trust a heavenly, perfect Father who loves me infinitely more than I will ever love my kids? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! - Matthew 7:11 ~ Francis Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Francis Chan
I was just trying to be a friend,' I said. 'But you weren't, Charlie. At those times, you weren't being his friend at all. Because you weren't honest with him. ~ Stephen Chbosky
Charlie Chan quotes by Stephen Chbosky
I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea. ~ Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Kaufman
I do small things. I try to do good things every day. ~ Jackie Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Jackie Chan
Ceony looked back up to see Lira grab Mg. Thane's collar and rip it down clear to his sternum, exposing his chest. "I'm finally leaving, dearie," she whispered, "and I'm taking you with me."
She plunged her right hand into his chest. Ceony stifled a cry. A golden ring of dust sparkled about Lira's wrist as Mg. Thane screamed between clenched teeth. Lira pulled her red-stained hand back out, clasping a still-beating heart between her bloodied fingers. ~ Charlie N. Holmberg
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie N. Holmberg
I'm incredibly proud of everything that we've achieved in Busted. We've enjoyed some of the best times in our lives together. ~ Charlie Simpson
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Simpson
At home, a man is entitled to raise his voice maybe once a year, if something really gets under his skin. At work, it's different. I raise my voice all the time. Not out of malice, but to get things right. It's never personal. ~ Charlie Trotter
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Trotter
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God "quickly." Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him. ~ Francis Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Francis Chan
You're dealing with the body, and you're dealing with bodily functions. We romanticize everything about people in movies. ~ Charlie Kaufman
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Kaufman
Becoming a good conversationalist is all about developing good conversational habits. Habits that show who you are in an engaging way and encourage the other person to do the same. ~ Charlie Houpert
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Houpert
In the creation of comedy, it is paradoxical that tragedy stimulates the spirit of ridicule; because ridicule, I suppose is an attitude of defiance: we must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature - or go insane ~ Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Chaplin
How many of us would really leave our families, our jobs, our education, our friends, our connections, our familiar surroundings, and our homes if Jesus asked us to? If He just showed up and said, 'Follow Me'? No explanation. No directions. You could follow Him straight up a hill to be crucified. Maybe He would lead you to another country, and you would never see your family again. Or perhaps you would stay put, but He would ask you to spend your time helping people who will never love you back and never show gratitude for what you gave up. Consider this carefully- have you ever done so? Or was your decision to follow Christ flippant, based solely on feelings and emotion, made without counting the cost? ~ Francis Chan
Charlie Chan quotes by Francis Chan
And the riskiest, but highest reward situations: be the first to bring up the subjects of money, relationships or sex. ~ Charlie Houpert
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Houpert
Charlie Sheen is who again? Denise is engaged? ~ Neil Patrick Harris
Charlie Chan quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
Chris (Anderson) is risking his life with every chord, that's how much it means to him. He has such a reverence for beauty, he plays like an angel. ~ Charlie Haden
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Haden
I would love to have a long and serious conversation with the Pope. And Woody Allen, whom I have never interviewed. Then, after those two? Steve Jobs. ~ Charlie Rose
Charlie Chan quotes by Charlie Rose
Creatively, I try to always look forward and look at the next thing I want to do. ~ Charlie Fink
