"He didn't show you very much. He'd challenge you to find him. Then when you'd
found him, he'd still make you guess.
It was an endless game with him. The thing people missed about Jimmy was his
mischievousness. He was the most constantly mischievous person I think I've
ever met. Full of tricks, full of magic, full of outrageousness."
-- Stuart Stern
"Every time I go to Europe, I remember that James Dean never saw Europe, but yet I see his face everywhere. There's James Dean, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe - windows of the Champs Elysees, discos in the south of Spain, restaurants in Sweden, t-shirts in Moscow. My life was confused and disoriented for years by his passing. My sense of destiny destroyed - the great films he would have directed, the great performances he would have given, the great humanitarian he would have become, and yet, he's
the greatest actor and star I have ever known."
-- Dennis Hopper
"I'm obsessed. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
I'm hoping to keep his memory going. It's a tribute."
-- David Loehr

"When I worked with him on TV, I found him to be an intelligent young actor who
seemed to live only for his work.
He was completely dedicated, and although a shy person, he could hold a good
conversation on many wide-ranging subjects."
-- Ronald Reagan
A few weeks before the group recorded its first hit record, "LOVE ME DO," in 1962, fifth member Stuart Sutcliffe died at the age of 21. Years later, John Lennon is quoted as saying: "[Stuart
Sutcliffe] was really our leader, and he was really into the James Dean thing.
He idolized him. Stuart died young before we made the big time, but I suppose
you could say that without Jimmy Dean, The Beatles would have never existed."
"When he was interested and participating, his energy was powerful. He had the greatest of intellectual qualities - curiosity
about everything."
-- Roy Schatt
"He said, "We both have to get married and have families.
That's what we both want; that's what we both need.
He never talked to me like a man that was worried about cutting it [life] short
or having it cut short."
-- Lew Bracker
