Sixties Quotes

The Stones were more dangerous than other bands of the Sixties. It looked like they had more fun than the Beatles - like they stayed up later Picture Quote #1

Obviously, the Sixties was a time when everyone wanted to experiment, and then everything became very formulated and corporate, so artists tended to get pushed into a kind of pattern. Now, I think that has continued with the emergence of televised talent shows like ‘X Factor.’ Picture Quote #1

Most of my memories of the Sixties are ones of optimism, high spirits and confidence Picture Quote #1

I grew up on all of the great spy movies and TV series of the Sixties - not just Bond, but Derek Flint and the Avengers and Modesty Blaise and the Man from UNCLE and on and on. Every time I sit down to work on Cinderella, I’m writing a love letter to all of those characters Picture Quote #1

I loved the comradeship of the sixties and the seventies, and I still maintain friendships with the people I worked with then - the ones that are still alive. That’s one of the great gifts of our political movements, great friendships . . . and also a few enmities Picture Quote #1

I was in college in the sixties when movies really got good. I’m a fan of Bergman and Hitchcock and Polanski and Antonioni. Those are my gods Picture Quote #1

I was involved in the Great Folk Music scare back in the sixties, when it almost caught on Picture Quote #1

English suspenders not American. Could you imagine? Just a pair of knickers and some suspenders. I don’t know. How would you wear that? I think this is kind of a cute first date look. A mini sixties Ossie Clark inspired mini dress with a pair on your trotters Picture Quote #1

The Sixties are most generously described as a time when people took part - when they stepped out of themselves and acted in public, as people who didn’t know what would happen next, but who were sure that acts of true risk and fear would produce something different from what they had been raised to take for granted Picture Quote #1

In the Sixties, fashion was about liberation. It was about setting women free; it wasn’t about being unable to walk Picture Quote #1

The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . ! Picture Quote #1

Stewardesses were a joke to many of us coming of age in the liberated Sixties. They were no joke in the women’s movement that liberated us, however Picture Quote #1

In Don Mills in the Sixties, nothing comes close to the humiliation of losing an argument. In our weird little creative circle, no one cares who has faster fists, but to lose an argument suggests inferior intelligence Picture Quote #1
