Text Quotes
Let’s give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Kerry is an adult - he thinks things through. He learns from the present as well as the past. To George Bush, thinking things through is for sissies  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I decided at age 9, but I was reinforced at age 13 when a teacher told me I had talent. I can’t say she really motivated me because I already knew. I knew I had talent. I went to the Jewish community theater and got in plays there. Then I went for the movies  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I believe that a nation that allows music to be expendable is in danger of becoming expendable itself  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Jaws,’ first time I saw it, I forgot I was in it. True. Totally forgot, and got as scared as everybody else, and it’s a great movie  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) The rules are all wrong today. The mandate of the media really does pre-date the founding of the United States  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Civics is not only how to run the country before it’s your turn to run the country; it is, in fact, the study of power, practical political power. And you must start that process at an age level when kids’ brains are still open and malleable  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I have more fun and more grand and glorious moments of my life than anyone I’ve never known. I know that some people call that manic-depress, and that other people call that being touched by God. I just call myself lucky  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I spoke so much about being a manic-depressive. I want to bring everyone back to my earliest memories of this companion of mine. Some people call this companion I have an ailment, or worse a terrible nightmare from which some people cannot awaken. I know that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I have nothing that should garner a stigma  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Well, I can’t (sing or dance). Actually, I sing like a seal and dance like your Uncle Leo at that wedding where he got up and went ‘ya, ya, ya’  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) When you Google me, you’ll find a lot of people don’t like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I’m cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there’s 100 percent support for that  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn’t be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I don’t know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn’t just art, its about being a person I’ve always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) The happiest I ever been was when I was a struggling actor. I’ve had big houses and small houses. I always had work available for most of my career. When I actually had to find jobs to make money, that’s when I was happy.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I’m proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I’m happy with what I’ve done.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) There is one solution to all of our problems: Teaching our kids clarity of thought and political representation in democracy. That’s it.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) If I wasn’t an actor, I’d be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Civility is not not saying negative or harsh things. It is not the absence of critical analysis. It is the manner in which we are sharing this territorial freedom of political discussion. If our discourse is yelled and screamed and interrupted and patronized, that’s uncivil.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) It’s fun to see the light in someone’s eyes. It’s fun to give your own eccentric experience and have it land. That’s fun.  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I’m nothing if not honest  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Let’s give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Power never turns power down, ever, unless institutionally demanded  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Wake up and live. It’s a fast world out there  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) Tabouli is the best salad, but still, you don’t win friends with salad  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) When you work in front of the people, either in a film or in television, the people who are in the room with you are not watching you work, they’re working so you’d have to light a fire to get them to watch what you were doing  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) In my experience, it’s usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I don’t know what its like for most actors, but really clearly for myself acting has always been the fulfillment of personal fantasies. It isn’t just art, its about being a person I’ve always wanted to be, or being in a situation, or being a hero  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes) I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance  (Richard Dreyfuss Quotes)
