Alfred Molina's Famous Lines

Movie/TV title:The Da Vinci Code

Character name: Bishop Manuel Aringarosa

Quote(s):Bishop Aringarosa: [to Silas] You are an angel!

Bishop Aringarosa: [to Silas] You are an angel!

Bishop Aringarosa: [to Silas] We have been betrayed, my son.

Cleric: Let's cover the talking points your Eminence. Many call Opus Dei a brainwashing cult. Others, an ultra-conservative Christian secret society.
Bishop Aringarosa: Obviously some people fear what they cannot understand.
Cleric: Perhaps a less defensive tack, Your Eminence. The press continue to be harsh with us.
Bishop Aringarosa: We are not, umm... cafeteria Catholics. We don't pick and choose which rules to follow. We follow doctrine rigorously.
Cleric: Does doctrine necessarily include vows of chastity, tithing, and atonement for sins through self-flagellation and the cilice?
Bishop Aringarosa: Many of our followers are married, many of them have families. Only a small portion choose to live ascetic lives...

Movie/TV title:Frida

Character name:Diego Rivera

Quote(s):Diego Rivera: Sex is like p******. People take it much too seriously.

Diego Rivera: Thank you.
Frida Kahlo: For what?
Diego Rivera: For making a fat, old, crazy Communist a happy man.

Diego Rivera: There was this skinny kid with these eyebrows shouting up at me, "Diego, I want to show you my paintings!" But, of course, she made me come down to her, and I did, and I've never stopped looking. But I want to speak about Frida not as her husband, but as an artist. I admire her. Her work is acid and tender... hard as steel... and fine as a butterfly's wing. Loveable as a smile... cruel as... the bitterness of life. I don't believe... that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.
Frida Kahlo: [as she's brought into the gallery] Shut up, panzon. Who died?

Movie/TV title:Raiders of the Lost Ark

Character name:Satipo

Quote(s):Indiana needs his bullwhip to swing across a chasm]
Indiana: Give me the whip.
Satipo: Throw me the idol. No time to argue. Throw me idol, I'll throw you the whip.
Indiana: [throws the idol] Give me the whip.
Satipo: Adiós, señor.

Satipo: Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here.
Indiana: That's what scares me.

Betty Mahmoody: Why?
Moody: Well... because here, you know, after they make love, they have to take a shower because, you know, they can't pray unless they do, you know. It's considered unclean. And we're taking two, three showers a day!
[Moody continues laughing]
Betty Mahmoody: Oh God! What do they think? We're two rabbits or something!
[Betty is now laughing]
Betty Mahmoody: I'm not taking another shower the whole time I'm here. You *knew* that the whole time!

I do remember being a fan of the Marvel characters and not liking the DC characters at all.

I've been acting for 25 years, living out of suitcases on theater tours or film locations.

Music is an essential part of my life and I'm completely lost without a good album to listen to or my iPod in my pocket! I love world music, and am always on the lookout for new sounds from Africa - The Best of Ethiopiques is one of my current favorites. Then there's Brazil, Cuba, the East. I should also admit that my Italian roots come out in my love for melodic music. My mother made me listen to a lot of the pop stars from the 1950s and '60s, like Rita Pavone, Claudio Villa, Gino Paoli and I love Luigi Tenco.

There are many actors who have inspired me: Spencer Tracy for his incredible elegance, and of course, Cary Grant. But there's also an Italian actor I admire a great deal: Alberto Sordi

I love theater work because of the immediate effect your performance has on the audience. And I love the repetition, I love getting on the same stage for more than a month and reciting the same lines, trying to make a small or large step towards an improvement in my acting. That's obviously impossible when you watch your movie on the screen - at that point it's all over, too late

(On frequently playing foreigners) I'm very proud of the fact that I can play all these different nationalities. I've done it with varying degrees of success, but at least with the best of intentions. I think at some point you run the danger of becoming everyone's favorite foreigner.

2004 - On his favorite roles to date) There are a few that I've always been particularly proud of - Not Without My Daughter and Enchanted April. At the time they were parts that were so far away from me, from what I was, from what I am. I saw them as a challenge. In Not Without My Daughter, I played an Iranian doctor who takes his family back to Iran and converts to a much more fundamental form of Islam. He basically kidnaps his family. That's pretty far away from what I am. So you kind of try to do things that challenge you.
