Memorable quotes for
Fame (1980) More at IMDbPro »

Doris Finsecker: I'm about as flamboyant as a bagel.

Montgomery McNeil: Never being happy isn't the same as being unhappy. Is it?

Shorofsky: No! No! No! Hold the bow like this! Not like this! This isn't your dick you're holding! It's a violin bow! Hold it with respect, like...
Bruno Martelli: ...Your dick?

Leroy Johnson: I's young, I's single, and I loves to mingle!

Doris: I HATE Ralph Garci! I must remember this feeling and use it in my acting!

Miss Berg: [to Lisa] Less lip, Monroe, more sweat!
Dancer: [about Miss Berg] She's just a bitch.

Hilary van Doren: [about Leroy] Son derriere noir... c'est formidable!
Lisa Monroe: Wow, I love your accent. What did you say?
Hilary van Doren: I dig his black ass.

Rocky Horror Announcer: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Lisa Monroe: [talking to a black girl during the audition] I like your nose ring. Did it hurt, or is that ethnic?

Miss Berg: Where's the sweat, Lisa?
Lisa Monroe: I'm working on it.

Coco Hernandez: [the girls are fighting over Leroy] You know what they say? The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Hilary van Doren: Yes, but who wants diabetes?

Angelo: [Starts playing his son's tape on top of loudspeakers on his cab] My son's music! My son Bruno, Bruno Martelli, he wrote the music! Today 46th street, tomorrow Madison Square Garden!

Doris Finsecker: Everybody falls in love with their analyst! They have a word for it, don't they?
Montgomery McNeil: Yeah. Homosexual.

Doris Finsecker: I mean, if I don't have a personality of my own, so what? I'm an actress! I can put on as many personalities as I want!
Montgomery McNeil: [raises his glass] To schizophrenia!
Doris Finsecker: [also raising glass] Abso-fucking-lutely!

Montgomery McNeil: You wanna get a pizza? We could split an Angie's special - with anchovies!
Ralph: Anchovies? Man, fuck anchovies. Man, I died out there and you're talking about fucking pizza?
Montgomery McNeil: No, I'm talking about eating pizza.

Hilary van Doren: You see, I was offered this place in the San Francisco Ballet. I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm gonna take it. I don't care what they think. I'm a good dancer. Better than good. Maybe even the best in the school. And that's not conceit, it's just simple honesty. If I stay in New York, everyone will think I bought my way into ABT. And I'm not starving myself for Balanchine's City Ballet. Not that I mind doing the corps de ballet bullshit. I'd sooner do it out of town. I'll pay my dues on the west coast, come back to New York a star. You see, I've always had this crazy dream of dancing all the classical roles before I'm twenty-one. I want Giselles and CoppÈlias coming out of my feet. And Sleeping Beauties, and the Swan. I want bravos in Stuttgart and Leningrad and Paris. Maybe even a ballet created especially for me. You see? There's no room for a baby.
Nurse: Will this be Master Charge or American Express, honey?

Rocky Horror Announcer: Boy is he in for a surprise!
