QUOTES

“A few years ago when somebody asked me, ‘How are you different from other actors your age?’, I said, “They all want to be James Dean. I want to be James Cagney.”

Later, when I read it in print, out of context, it seemed kind of flip. But anybody who knows something about James Cagney knows I wasn’t being flip. I was being honest.

–Michael J. Fox
