John C Reilly Quotes

I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

I considered a lot of different jobs as a kid. I thought about becoming a priest or a lawyer. My father had a big linen-supply business and I considered working for him. What dawned on me was: ‘If I’m an actor, I get to do the fun parts of every job!’ Without having to go to four years of law school Picture Quote #1

I am one of those people who is not very patient in the makeup chair. I have been offered movies like ‘Planet of the Apes’ and stuff like ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas’ and I turned them down Picture Quote #1

I always felt really guilty if I spent too much time playing video games. It’s a colossal waste of time. And I can’t say it’s a very satisfying feeling at the end of the day, if you’ve spent eight hours playing a video game; you just end up feeling kind of spent, and used Picture Quote #1

Honestly, to tell you the truth, being trapped in any video game sounds like a living nightmare to me. In most video games, the point is it’s a fight for survival, so I think it would be a terrifying place to live Picture Quote #1

For a long time, it was like I was part of some special forces unit: I’d land, meet everyone, five minutes later I’d have to do some amazing work, then - boom! - I’m out again. You know, playing supporting parts takes courage Picture Quote #1

Being a father has fulfilled me in parts of my life that sustain me. It gives me a comfort and patience. All actors have this hole inside that they’re trying to fill by performing. I’m anxious to keep creating, but I’m not so desperate any more because I have the love and support of my kids and wife Picture Quote #1

Animation is a great way to work. No early morning call times, no make-up chair. In live action, you’re always fighting the clock; the sun is always going down too soon Picture Quote #1

People say, ‘Don’t you get tired of people coming up to you all the time?’ But what’s wrong with strangers saying they love you? Picture Quote #1

I love that people can’t place me. They don’t know my name. That’s ‘mission accomplished’ in my world Picture Quote #1

Hollywood is an illusion. These intense workplaces, with very close relationships, a few months at a time - and then it ends Picture Quote #1

You were there all day long, 12 hours a day. So there was none of this, ‘I’m going back to my trailer, my trailer’s bigger than your trailer,’ that kind of Hollywood nonsense Picture Quote #1

There’s something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite Picture Quote #1

If you get made fun for the way you look, then maybe wearing the same thing every day is the best way to protect yourself Picture Quote #1

I’m alienated from this world because its weird and I don’t want to be a part of it. I want to be part of the people that are more imaginative and crazy Picture Quote #1

A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you’re going to say is Picture Quote #1

Really if you look at my filmography, there’s something for everyone! Picture Quote #1

The less people know about me in reality, the more they can accept of me as a character Picture Quote #1

I was never a very dependable employee for anything. Perfect for the actor’s life! Picture Quote #1

I give as much as I can, and it’s up to someone else to turn it into a movie. Good luck to you! Picture Quote #1

I feel like a teenager myself, so I appreciate it when the kids think you’re all right Picture Quote #1
