Great Brad Pitt quotes

There is a serious lack of Brad and Angelina news right now. Obviously, we’re all just biding our time, waiting for the Big Announcement, that the Jolie-Pitt twins have been born. Other than that, it’s all just tabloid fodder or re-hashing the same thing all over the Internet.

So, in light of the no-babies-yet-news and due to a shortage of Brad Pitt lately, here is a collection of one person’s 18 favorite quotes said by Brad over the years. My favorite is the same one that made me laugh so hard years ago when I first read it:

I phoned my grandparents and my grandfather said ‘we saw your movie’. ‘Which one?’ I said. He shouted ‘Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn’t like?’

Now THAT is humbling! I also liked his comment about not speaking about things you don’t know much about, because you know that when he does talk about things like Darfur and New Orleans, it’s because he’s taken the time to learn about the topics, and he is speaking of things he’s researched.

What was your favorite on the list?

(Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday! I had a great day and got some awesome gifts including a really nice zoom lens for my camera, I can’t wait to play with it. Also, I think it was Ligaya who mentioned the quote site – thanks!)

    Brad Visits Angelina, Hits the Beach with BonoToday
    8:30 PM PDT by Ken Baker

    After an afternoon stroll on the beach in Eze Sur Mer with Bono, Robert De Niro and three of his children, Brad Pitt arrived at Lenval hospital at 7.30 pm.

    Accompanied by Maddox, who was asleep in the car, (Ken’s sources missed seeing Pax) Papa Pitt apparently came to stay overnight with Angelina Jolie.

    Sources tell E! news that earlier in the day Brad, along with Maddox, Pax and Zahara, spent the afternoon at the beach.

    “Bono and Robert De Niro are really good friends and they hang out in the South of France together every summer,” says a source.

    “The kids looked like they were having a great time and none of the locals bothered them or took any notice of them.

    “It was a fun afternoon out for all of them.”

    From a comment at Justjared:

    From French website about Brad’s visit with Mad and Pax to Angie today-

    Decidely, she is lucky this Angelina Jolie. Each day, Brad Pitt comes to visit her at the foundation Lenval in Nice, where she is hospitalized pending birth of their twins, and even he often sleeps (stays) overnite at the hospital with her.

    This afternoon, after spending the day with his friend Robert de Niro, Brad Pitt therefore still comes to visit her.

    This time, he was accompanied by their two adoptive sons, Maddox and Pax. For a good dad, and not tired mother, the children come alternately.

    They spent a few hours at the bedside of the mother Jolie. Is it not a beautiful life?

    I don’t think we have to worry. You can’t get better medical care than what Brad and Ange have got. I just think it must be because they are twins and also everyone knows how hands on Angelina is as a mother. She just needs to be some where like that towards the end to maintain that calmness she needs. I think she’s in hospital now because she is due any time not because of any problems..the longer she waits the better but everyone knows that twins have a greater chance of being premature so.. i know we’re loving her and worried about her but i think she’ll be absolutely fine, guys. You’ll see, soon she’ll be carrying both of those sweet babies out of there! I reckon Brad IS stressed..he probably wants to be sleeping next to the love of his life, in their own bed every night and probably also wants to be with all the children aswell so i guess it’s really tough for Brad atm. He’s a strong guy though. Let’s just keep thinking of her and sending her best wishes and prayers. This will all be over soon enough..

    RE: Worries about the smaller of Angelina’s twins…
    (aol com says she is nervous about its health).

    I don’t know enough to say whether I think there might be a problem or not (but then… she is in the hospital way before her term was supposed to be up isn’t she???)

    Also: Maybe I am just reading into things too much, but I looked at some new pictures of Brad bringing Pax to see Angie and, I thought his face seemed strained and stressed. Does he always look stressed in front of the paps… yeah, kinda. But if you look carefully, it seems like he’s under some serious stress, more than just fending off the annoying paps. He has like a sort of gravitas about him…

    A little something for the Pinays – a Filipino furniture designer’s work was used in Ocean 13: Da best ang Pinoy muwebles, http://www.gmanews.tv/story/105669/Da-best-ang-Pinoy-muwebles

    What are they talking about? The news that Quentin Tarantino wants to cast Brad in his new movie. There’s no saying that Brad’s interested(from Nkki Fine’s highly reliable from deadlinehollywooddaily):

    UPDATE: Quentin Tarantino Talking To Brad Pitt To Star In ‘Inglorious Bastards’

    EXCLUSIVE: I’ve confirmed Quentin Tarantino is talking to Brad Pitt to star in Inglorious Bastards, the writer/director’s newly unveiled script being shopped right now to 4 Hollywood studios: Universal, Warner Bros, Paramount and Sony.

    Tarantino himself has described it as a Spaghetti Western meets World II film that’s an homage to 1967′s The Dirty Dozen and its derivatives with a story about a group of soldiers on their way to be executed who get the chance of a reprieve.

    (LOL, my post about my fave Brad quotes is under mod.)

    Now some quotes ABOUT Brad Pitt. This in response to some yoyo who said Brad’s a has been, uninteresting actor whose looks are fading (from deadlinehollywooddaily):

    –No, Pitt is cool. On a set, away from crowds, he has a blue-collar vibe and gives respect to the below-the-line. He’s the only big star that crew guys truly love. Pitt has even attended “cast & crews” screenings (and been welcomed, too), who does that?

    –Pitt is rad and this would be super cool

    –This is probably perfect casting, actually. Brad Pitt has always been a character actor stuck in a leading man’s body (see True Romance, 12 Monkeys, Fight Club). Some of that Tarantino zing will be right up his alley.

    —-I think Brad Pitt could benefit greatly from a Tarantino role. I think he’s a good choice.

    (I have confidence in the doctor’s statement – I think Angelina is fine, just resting & enjoying her privacy.)

    All of Brad’s quotes are my faves, but here’s my top 3:

    –Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.

    –Fame makes you feel permanently like a girl walking past construction workers.

    –Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have. Let us be the ones to say we are not satisfied that your place of birth determines your right to life. Let us be outraged, let us be loud, let us be bold.

    –Brad Pitt

    Hi Sherry! Love visiting your site, love the positiveness of this site, keep up the good work! But most of all, love the Jolie-Pitt’s!
    There is a new photo of Brad and Pax visiting Angie on USmagazine, I only saw Brad, no Pax though. Check it out!

    Sherry at JJ they have new pictures of Brad with Pax & Maddox going into the hospital, Mad was seen sleeping inside the car. Check it out.

    Mary Ann: Don’t worry, there’s nothing to worry about specially that she is in Doctor’s care & is in the hospital with all the medical needs she can get & with Brad 24/7 with her. I believe the Medical Doctor when he said not to worry. Knowing how nice Brad & Angie to their fans, they let the Doctor do the talking for them.
    Sherry: I like Brad’s picture. He looks so fine.
    God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

    Another great quote “worry is a prayer for manifesting what you DON’T want to have happen” Place AJ in your highest thoughts and complete your thoughts in a whole circle ending at the top, instead of the bottom. My feeling is that she and BP thoroughly checked out this option and anticipated this lifestyle in order to make sure they did not have a last minute emergency situation to deal with (including the papz chasing them in an emergency vehicle). I believe that the girls and BP are mostly with AJ at the hospital and James is with the boys at their chateau. My feeling in the middle of the night is that they are working it out to the best of their abilities and are being very wise to protect their family and their privacy.

    This is the one I liked best. It is so very true…unfortunately:(

    I think that is normal to worry when you care about someone, the way we care about angie. But I am a strong believer that positive thinking works miracles. So, heads up people. She is fine. She has the best care and the infinite love of her family, friends and ours, of course :P
