Dennis Hopper Quotes

“The minute we moved in (1712 North Crescent Heights), Dennis Hopper decided to give a party for Andy (Warhol), who was coming out to Los Angeles, and he decided that the one thing that would really make the house stand out, fabulously, would be billboards. So he papered the downstairs bathrooms with billboards. He had also decided that the food at the party would be hot dogs and chili. So we had a hot-dog stand! And Dennis had found huge papier-mâché Mexican figures with firecrackers hanging on them.”

“The rest of the shoot proceeded in more or less the same fashion. Terry Southern and Gail Gerber, who had flown in from New York, were aghast. Even for Terry, an avowed fan of madness, it was too much. He asked Peter, 'What would Dad-Dad think?'—meaning Henry Fonda. To Dennis, whenever he got particularly out of control, he'd say 'Jimmy wouldn't like that'—meaning James Dean. If Terry Southern is the only adult in the room, it probably means you're beyond hope. Worn down by all the chaos, Terry finally told Dennis, 'That cacophony of your verbiage is driving me insane.' He decided that being on set with Dennis wasn't for him.”

“Brooke found her former husband, now seventy-three and with only a few months to live, in bed. He sat up the moment Brooke entered and began apologizing for everything he had put her through. 'It's okay,' she assured him as she drew near.
HE: Brooke, do you still love me?
SHE: Yes, Dennis, of course.
HE: You're the only woman I ever loved.”
