Greg Kinnear Quotes

If a woman has one cat, it will invariably turn into 20 Picture Quote #1

I like complicated characters Picture Quote #1

I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn’t the class clown at all Picture Quote #1

I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece - the Kississia Colts - where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year. The downside, and somewhat unfortunate piece of information I have to pass on, is there were only two teams in the league because of the limited amount of Americans Picture Quote #1

My adolescence was all tits and champagne. I’m downplaying the magic of it all Picture Quote #1

I was 12 when my parents told me we were moving to Lebanon. I remember thinking, ‘Leba-who?’ I had absolutely no concept of the place Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I look back and think, ‘Good. I’d love to go in and bang out a good episode of ‘Talk Soup’ today.’ Picture Quote #1

I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. Not to date myself, but cable was just coming on. I had terrible territories, and they would give me $25, if I got somebody to let them come and just put the little cord in their house Picture Quote #1

Setting goals can blind you to opportunities. You might be trying to get to point C. When opportunity B comes, you don’t even look at it because you’re going straight to C Picture Quote #1

I really don’t make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role. Maybe I’ve just done enough of them now where people are like, ‘Oh, it’s the guy that’s in a swirling vortex of despair, send it to Kinnear!’ I don’t really know, but it does seem to be a recurring theme Picture Quote #1

There’s times when I’ll see a show, or something cooking on TV, and think, ‘That can really be fun when it’s working.’ But it’s a grind. I did that at NBC, it was five days a week. I was doing ‘Talk Soup’ and ‘Later’ at the same time. It’s a hard job, more difficult than people realize Picture Quote #1

Talking about corporations - they’re so big. There’s not a person at a corporation Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond. The guests would order their dinner and then take a little boat out with a colored flag on the front of it. When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready! Picture Quote #1

I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. I found it incredibly difficult, doing that kind of sales work. I would have thought I’d be good at it, but I wasn’t. It’s so easy in acting. Everything falls into place when they write that you’re a salesman. People just say yes, and then it’s great Picture Quote #1

There’s no harmony in most people in a way, and I’m attracted to it, and I think it makes for good storytelling Picture Quote #1

The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive Picture Quote #1

When I look back on my childhood, I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace Picture Quote #1

I’m a terrible procrastinator. When we go to the airport, if they’re not literally closing the door behind my sweaty, hyperventilating body, I feel I’ve been there too long Picture Quote #1

My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool Picture Quote #1

In my sophomore year, a kid told me that the secret to getting women is to play really, really hard to get. I followed his advice, and I didn’t have so much as a date that year Picture Quote #1

We all have to lead double lives, not just celebrities. The face we put on publicly with our jobs and certain situations. I think that’s part of the human condition Picture Quote #1

Here’s the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That’s their life. Whether you like it or not, I don’t care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it’s all coming out of the box Picture Quote #1

It’s not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story Picture Quote #1

I can’t not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me Picture Quote #1
