Bourne Quotes

Bourne Quote of the day

When a historian enters into metaphysics he has gone to a far country from whose bourne he will never return a historian.

Who now travels that dark path from whose bourne they say no one returns. [Lat., Qui nunc it per iter tenebricosum Illue unde negant redire quemquam.]

I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.

Bourne concentrated on rest and mobility. From somewhere in his forgotten past he understood that recovery depended upon both and he applied rigid discipline to both.

Look at every action movie in Hollywood. Every leading man from Spider-Man to Batman to James Bond, 'Bourne Identity', every one of them possesses martial arts skills.

Right before 'The Bourne Identity' came out, I hadn't been offered a movie in a year.

All roads indeed lead to Rome, but theirs also is a more mystical destination, some bourne of which no traveller knows the name, some city, they all seem to hint, even more eternal.

That's why 'The Bourne Identity' has that sort of shaky style, because for the most part, Matt Damon and I were sneaking around Paris and shooting where we didn't have permits.

I see things and I hear things I do not understand. I'm a skilled, resourceful... vegetable!

A dream acting role would be Matt Damon in the Bourne series. I would love to do something like that!

I have always had this secret fantasy of being a Bourne girl or Bond girl, and I've never even gotten called in on one of those roles.

I was originally set to star in 'The Bourne Identity,' but I found it too difficult to even pretend to forget who I was.

Nobody really knows what the Bourne shell's grammar is. Even examination of the source code is little help.

First, I thought we'd already established that I am not a gentleman. That ship sailed long ago. And second, you'd be surprised what gentlemen do...and what ladies enjoy." ~Lord Bourne

He wasn't smart enough to see it, said Jason Bourne. He couldn't think geometrically.

Lana says J.P. makes Matt Damon from the Bourne movies look like Oliver from Hannah Montana

I was happy when I read the script [The Bourne Ultimatum ] - the first version they sent me - to see that before, there's some humanity too.

I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna­ - the one you saw - we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

It was nice that there [ in the Bourne Ultimatum ] was a reference to the relationship . It's very subtle - it's actually without dialogue. I do think it's powerful even without words.

The thing with the Bourne movies is that they're so big in scope and the production value is so high and it takes so much organization.

When I was shooting 'The Bourne Identity,' I had a mantra: 'How come you never see James Bond pay a phone bill?' It sounds trite, but it became the foundation of that franchise.

The 'Bourne' movies are great in their own ways; it introduces a whole other sort of allegory about the Bush years. The secrecy and the threats of a big global organization.

Jason Bourne is supposed to be really sneaky and spry, but as soon as he walks by, everybody pulls out their cell phones and starts recording. That level of fame is wild to see.

To ask how I feel about writing is to ask how I feel about breathing.
