I don’t know what it is about me: I am no Rock Hudson, but I absolutely wow all the little old white-haired ladies. They stop me and talk to me all over the country, on the street, in restaurants, in elevators. Tom Heinsohn
When I started ‘Hudson Hawk,’ I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this – the guy who hadn’t proven anything in terms of box-office success. Michael Lehmann
I’m interested in Dathan Ritzenhein’s future in the marathon, and I believe that’s where we need to address some issues he seems to have. He’s had good marathon coaches – both Brad Hudson and me. He’s figured out the fueling. He’s got this incredible aerobic engine. But something’s still wrong. Alberto Salazar
There’s only one thing I love more than race day: the morning after! The morning after the Marathon, New York catches running fever. The Hudson River bike path on Manhattan’s west side was like a traffic jam of joggers on Monday morning. No doubt the great race fires up the endurance athlete in all of us – and it’s beautiful. Stephanie Ruhle
I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans. Cara Delevingne
A guy stopped me in the street the other day as I was skipping and singing to myself while walking with my son, Hudson who was also dancing along.

I would love to do something with many artists, you know: Fantasia, Cardi B, Lil Wayne, J.Lo, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson. There’s so many of them! All of them are iconic in their own way and to collaborate with any of those artists of that magnitude would be such an honor for me because I grew up listening to them and I love their music. Big Freedia
Ernie Hudson was new to the comedy world, and being the fourth Ghostbuster, he would have ideas, and he would talk to Ivan Reitman, and Ivan would kind of put him off. I could see how disappointed he was. Harold Ramis
One Christmas, Dennis Dermody, the movie critic of ‘Paper,’ gave me ‘Rock Hudson: A Gathering of Friends,’ the master invitation list from Rock Hudson’s memorial service. It’s so great.

Captain Richard Phillips of the good ship Maersk Alabama – and Sully Sullenberger splashing down his crippled airliner in the Hudson River – broke through the poisonous smog of economic depression and Wall Street skullduggery with a reminder that pure individual heroism is a daily occurrence if we know where to look for it. Tina Brown
It was the era of Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson; they all had a certain look. Taylor Hackford

I’m in my apartment in trendy Tribeca. I’ve been down here for 37 years, from before it was a fashionable neighbourhood. It’s a wonderful place; it looks over the Hudson River.

A few days after 9/11, I put the old cassette of ‘Born in the U.S.A.,’ twisted and worn, on the car deck as I drove past West Point, across the Bear Mountain Bridge, along the Hudson River. It was the perfect moment to hear it. David Means
Everyone’s different, but it was fun for me to work with Garth Hudson. He’s from ‘The Band.’ They are a massive influence, that was a big thrill. He’s completely out of his mind. Teddy Thompson
The Hudson’s Bay Company has always been the guardian angel of the north. Ernest Thompson Seton
I never feel so utterly fraudulent as when I review a movie whose charms impress all in the world and I simply do not get it. The other variant is that I love something the world disdains. This has had severe career consequences: I am still famous – or notorious – in certain quarters where I am recalled as the man who liked ‘Hudson Hawk.’ Stephen Hunter
I was raised on the Hudson, in a house that had been the stable of the financier and Civil War general Brayton Ives. In midcentury, we had fire pits in the floor for heating, and rats everywhere, because they nested in the hay insulation. Mark Helprin

I’ve worked in the Inuit hamlets of the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1994. Over that time I’ve been very moved by both the pace of social change there – the loss of traditional ways of seeing the world, the affinity for and comfort with the land – and by the social disarray that change of this pace produces. Kevin Patterson
In 1993, I premiered my solo piece ‘Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life So Far’ at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre. It then went to New York and ran for several months Off-Broadway. Leslie Jordan

I was one of the first of the uglies. Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter… were very pretty fellows, and that was the trend. I was one of the first of the uglies to get lucky. Rod Taylor
The growth of Stewart Airport creates new jobs for area residents, brings new business and new travelers to the region, and brings new convenient travel options to those of us living in the Hudson Valley. Sue Kelly
I myself was born beside a river – the Avon in Sarum.

Edward Rutherfurd
Kate Hudson is my style icon. Shantel VanSanten
When I testified before Congress after the Hudson River landing, Congressman James Oberstar of Minnesota said, ‘Safety begins in the boardroom.’ That’s as true in medicine as it is in aviation. It always boils down to leadership. Chesley Sullenberger
Rock Hudson wasn’t my type. He’s a great guy and had a great sense of humor. Tab Hunter
I did projects on Champlain coming up the St. Lawrence River and on Henry Hudson cast adrift in the bay that now bears his name.

Hudson just melts my heart. When I come home, he says, ‘Daddy, daddy,’ and it just turns my day around. Guy Sebastian
