Quotes About Bruce Willis

After the second Die Hard, Bruce Willis stated he would never do another. He should have stayed firm in his resolve.

It's rare that the sequel to a good movie lives up to expectations. Such is the case with Die Hard 2, the somewhat-muddled but still entertaining return of Bruce Willis' John McClane.

The show is '12 Monkeys,' and I'm playing the role that Bruce Willis played in the original film '12 Monkeys.' It is a show about time travel.
