Paul Dano Quotes

I go down to the dive bar around the corner when I go out. I don’t go to the showbiz parties Picture Quote #1

There are maybe 100 actors I look up to, but my first two favourite actors were Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson Picture Quote #1

On ‘There Will Be Blood,’ I was cast at the last minute. I had 3 and a half to 4 days to get ready for the first day. I just went for it, threw myself in there and gave it everything I had. That was just guts and instinct, not a lot of preparation Picture Quote #1

I regretted not being a person in shape many a day while we were making this film [Swiss Army Man] Picture Quote #1

The whole being-in-a-room interview thing, at a junket or a film festival, is very inhuman. You meet the person, have five or 10 minutes to talk, and it’s not like a conversation Picture Quote #1

When you repeat yourself so many times, even if you’re speaking the truth, the repetition starts to feel false. Sometimes, you just feel like the words you’re speaking, even if they once had meaning, have lost it. And that makes you feel kind of silly Picture Quote #1

Your director is your main support - actors don’t generally give each other advice on set, not in my experience Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck’s journals while he was writing ‘East of Eden,’ which was so cool Picture Quote #1

I volunteered at a homeless shelter in preparation for ‘Being Flynn,’ and when I’m walking along the Bowery, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. That’s a nice memory Picture Quote #1

I approach every role from scratch Picture Quote #1

The only constant I can find is hard work Picture Quote #1

I used to write a lot of songs. I was an English major in college. I was a deluded poet for a year. Totally deluded Picture Quote #1

I don’t want my learning curve to be stunted by just all of a sudden doing work all the time and not being careful about the work that I’m doing Picture Quote #1

Homeless people really upset me when I was little. A lot of kids have this reaction, but I would get really worried or sad or concerned or cry Picture Quote #1

I’ve definitely been in ruts, and I think having some kind of perseverance is important Picture Quote #1

Spring and fall in New York are the best seasons here to get out and about. I like the little park in Dumbo between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge. I like Prospect Park Picture Quote #1

Reading the script [Insane Farting Corpse], by page two or three, I felt that way. I thought, I’m in. It was so beautiful and insane and funny and I wanted to see it happen Picture Quote #1

You look at the part in 12 Years A Slave,’ you finish that script - I mean, it’s a powerful story. You go, ‘Man, I have to play a bad character in this.’ And then you go, ‘Well, do I want to play a bad character and contribute to a good story?’ Picture Quote #1

I know I am always pumped, as an audience member, to go and see a Western Picture Quote #1
