- While having dinner with Paul McCartney, Dustin told the story of the death of Pablo Picasso and his famous last words, "Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can't drink anymore." Paul had a guitar with him and immediately played an impromptu chord progression while singing the quote. Thus, Picasso's Last Words (Drink to Me), one of the highlights of the Band On The Run album, was made.

- Dustin was in talks to appear in Sidney Lumet's The Verdict (1982).

ADD QUOTES
- Dustin Hoffman: (his views on marriage) There is something unnatural about marriage. These two people are not going to be the same people in a few years. The trick is to live your own life while sharing the same space.

Dustin: Something involving music or arts; where you don't need a collective joining. James: What profession would you not like to attempt? Dustin: A hunter. James: Finally, if heaven exists what would you like to hear God say? Dustin: That's funny, you don't look Jewish!
