ICONIC QUOTE:
"Fastest man on the planet!"
(Howard Hughes)

"I've been famous - for better or worse - for a long time now... I wonder if you know what that really means."
(Katharine Hepburn)

"Howard, we're not like everyone else. Too many acute angles. Too many eccentricities. We have to be very careful not to let people in or they'll make us into freaks."
(Katharine Hepburn)

"You know sometimes I get these feelings, Katie. I get these ideas, these crazy ideas about things that may not things that may not really be there. Sometimes I truly fear that I am... losing my mind. And if I did, it... it would be like flying blind. You understand?"
"You taught me to fly, Howard. I'll take the wheel."
(Howard Hughes, Katherine Hepburn)
