From every character he ever played, the inimitable Harry Dean Stanton squeezed out at least one memorable, quotable quote.
So, this diary will be fleshed out with some of them.
Think of them like pouring a little bit of your favorite tipple onto the floor.
For those who have passed.
As Harry has, tonight, at age 91.
On his acting:
I play myself all the time, on camera and off. What else can I do?
From Repo Man:
Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em.
AND
Otto: No, I ain't no commie.
Bud: Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.
From Alien:
Ripley: Whenever he says *anything* you say "right", Brett. You know that?
Brett: Right.
Ripley: Parker, what do you think? Your staff just follows you around and says "right". Just like a regular parrot.
Parker: [laughs] Yeah, shape up. What are you, some kind of parrot?
Brett: Right.
And, Repo Man — once more, for the Repo Man credo:
Bud: [doing speed with Otto] Never broke into a car, never hotwired a car. Never broke into a truck. 'I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof, nor through inaction let the personal contents thereof come to harm' It's what I call the Repo Code, kid!
