I just read that...Steven Spielberg wanted Sterling Hayden (Captain McCluskey) for the part of Quint...
All I could picture was Quint getting Hooper and Brody to hold the shark while he broke its jaw.  "Down, down, ya shark-livered salmon!!"Works for me. Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
