Now they're all shut up.

You know, I'm really waiting for the casting announcements. It passed the time table that I predicted, so I wonder when we'll hear about them and the film?

A few fun Tony Curtis quotes:

_ "I wouldn't be caught dead marrying a woman old enough to be my wife."

_ "They gave me away as a prize once - a Win Tony Curtis For A Weekend competition. The woman who won was disappointed. She'd hoped for second prize - a new stove."

_ "One day Marilyn Monroe and I were being measured by the designer for our Some Like It Hot costumes. I was in my shorts and Marilyn was wearing panties and a silk blouse. When the designer measured Marilyn he said, 'You know, Tony has a better-looking rear end than you do.' Marilyn opened her blouse and said, 'Yeah, but he doesn't have these!"

And my favorite:

_ " An actor told me the only time he's not acting is when he's acting. I can understand that."
