jamesdeaner:

Not only did James Dean insist on doing his own stunts for the filming of the “chicken-run” scene, but he also refused to use a mattress to soften his landing. He told the crew, “Take it away… people will say, James Dean can’t even do his own stunts, he needs a mattress.”

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, I mean if he can live on after he’s died, then maybe he was a great man. When they talk about success, they talk about reaching the top. Well, there is no top. You’ve got to go on and on, never stop at any point. To me, the only success, the only greatness for man is immortality. To have your work remembered in history, to leave something in this world that will last for centuries - that’s greatness.
- James Dean

I woke up this morning, you know… and the sun was shining, and it was nice, and all that type of stuff. And the first thing, I saw you, and, uh, I said, “Boy, this is gonna be one terrific day, so you better live it up, because tomorrow you’ll be nothing.” You see? And I almost was.
