Brad Pitt's Quotes

• I'm gonna design my own fleet of trailers. No! I'm gonna record an album like Jennifer Lopez. It'll be an acoustic version of KC & The Sunshine Band. Then maybe I'll design a line of clothes like [Sean 'Diddy' Combs] but all in synthetic fur.
• I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.
• [Viasat magazine, May 2001] Fame is a bitch, man.
• [on what keeps him humble] You know, I telephoned my grandparents the other day, and my grandfather said to me, "We saw your movie." "Which one?". I said, and he shouted, "Betty, what was the name of that movie I didn't like?". I thought that was just classic. I mean, if that doesn't keep your feet on the ground, what would?
• I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.
