5 QUOTES WITH «EMPIRE STATE BUILDING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Empire State Building.
1
Dave Gibbons
When I first came to New York City, what I was thrilled about was not the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty; it was the fireplugs in the street. These things that Jack Kirby had drawn. Or these cylindrical water towers on top of buildings that Steve Ditko's 'Spider-Man' fights used to happen in and around.
2
Crispin Glover
Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite. The only true cinema verite would be what Andy Warhol did with his film about the Empire State Building - eight hours or so from one angle, and even then it's not really cinema verite, because you aren't actually there.
3
Takeru Kobayashi
I've been to the Empire State Building with four friends, and it was very beautiful at that time around midnight.

Don Rickles

5
Fay Wray
When it was over my daughter said, 'Oh, I felt so sorry for him - he didn't want to hurt you, he liked you.' That was Victoria. When you visualize him up there on top of the Empire State Building, you do feel sorry for him.
