Garrett Hedlund Quotes

After school, I’d hang out at the Borders bookstore until it closed Picture Quote #1

The Beat Generation - that term is even more familiar now, even more than say the 70s. Hype is built and established and people link it back to a certain generation, in this case the 40s and 50s. Now everyone knows that that group was the Beat Generation Picture Quote #1

For me, and this may not be everybody, but because I do love country music so much, there’s such a feeling of home in Nashville, especially because it’s such a small town. You bring up one song, everybody knows who wrote it, everybody knows their mother and what their cell number is, and all of the stories Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I would watch a movie on video and would go to the back of the VHS and locate the address for Universal Pictures or MGM or whatever. I’d write to the studios asking them if I could be in a movie. They never wrote me back Picture Quote #1

I fantasised about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ - I loved it, and then I read everything J. D. Salinger had to offer. Then I was turned on to Kerouac, and his spontaneous prose, his stream of consciousness way of writing. I admired him so much, and I romanticised so much about the 40s and 50s Picture Quote #1

I remember driving the tractor on our farm, and Tim McGraw would be on the radio. I’d find myself walking out of class, singing his songs. And then Tim ended up playing my father in ‘Friday Night Lights.’ It was surreal Picture Quote #1

I used to be sick of the backroads of Minnesota. I had to drive 30 miles to get home every day, take the schoolbus for two hours. But to drive through America and see the backroads, from Nashville to Memphis, Lovick to New Mexico, was incredible. It was probably the greatest trip of my life Picture Quote #1

I was a ‘Duck Hunt’ and ‘Mario’ guy, and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool, new toys. I was the youngest child, I wasn’t the only child, so I wasn’t spoiled as a kid. And, we were on the farm, so we didn’t have a lot. Also, with computers, I’m not very good with them. I just check my email Picture Quote #1

I’ve always romanticized the late 40s and 50s - the cars, jazz, the open roads and lack of pollution. Now there are more vehicles, less hitchhikers, more billboards and power lines and stuff. People wrote wonderful long letters that took months to receive, and now everything is email Picture Quote #1

It was close to like a 67- or 70-day shoot for ‘Tron’ on stage, in the suit. You can’t even sit down during the day because of all the cables that divide the foam rubber and all the electrical circuits. We had these stools that were tall with a bicycle seat on them and you’re just looking at a blue screen all day Picture Quote #1

I had done chorus before in school, but I was only trying for an easy A. I was a bass going ‘dum dum da doo wop Picture Quote #1

Love Don’t Let Me Down,’ which is the original title of ‘Country Strong,’ was just as difficult emotionally as ‘Tron’ was physically. I play a country singer that basically gets on tour with Gwyneth Paltrow’s character, who is one of the biggest country stars out there, and she’s fallen down too many times and it’s an intense emotional story Picture Quote #1

I remember telling my creative writing teacher that you never want to have a journal, because if you lose it, then someone’s going to know all your secrets. And then she stopped using a journal, but I always write everything down... Anytime I travel, I try and fill up notepads Picture Quote #1

With ‘Tron,’ we had so many crew members around and a stage full of special effects people that know exactly what has to be done in the situations. You’re on a stage in sets the whole time Picture Quote #1

Life’s too short when you find yourself sitting in a car for four hours every day trying to get from East L.A. to West L.A. to Hollywood and then back to East L.A Picture Quote #1

Every once in a while we remember that life is short, and to appreciate the time with your friends and family, and to be open to have beautiful exciting moments in your days and stop worrying about what’s pulling you down Picture Quote #1

It’s funny - I read that women look to chiseled-faced guys for one-night stands, and to round-faced guys for marriage. When I’m rounder in the face, I like to say, ‘This is my long-term look.’ Or ‘This is my wife-and-kids look right here.’ Picture Quote #1

A great amount of good is always evened out by a great amount of bad. I find it’s best to acknowledge that weird balance Picture Quote #1

I’ve been told I’m too good looking for certain roles, but that’s okay, it just motivates me to go deeper Picture Quote #1

Just personally, I’ve been attached to ‘On the Road’ since 2007 and it was the greatest thing in my life when I got cast in it. I couldn’t believe it. When I was 17 and read the book, I looked it up on IMDb and it said that Francis Ford Coppola was going to direct it Picture Quote #1

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there’s always the town gossip - ‘Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?’ So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut Picture Quote #1

See, the ‘On the Road’ that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it, the bitter honesty, is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then, there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody - ‘You must live life this way’ - and these guys were bored Picture Quote #1

It’s funny that I got to do ‘On the Road’ because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree Picture Quote #1

I’d mortgage any house for art Picture Quote #1

You might think the thinner version of yourself is going to be the most positive or confident, but that’s not how it is for me. When I’m over 200 pounds, that’s when I’m the most confident version of myself Picture Quote #1

Anybody that wants to walk out that door and leave home for a few months and rely on themselves instead of fate might have some interesting stories to tell Picture Quote #1

I was into punk rock back when I was in high school. I used to go around to dive venues and take photographs. But now it’s been just much more about the country stuff and soulful folk Picture Quote #1

I grew up on a farm where we had one radio station and it was all country Picture Quote #1
