James Cromwell Quotes

My definition of a character actor is - they never get the girl Picture Quote #1

But if you really want to learn about life, get a cat. The way I think people should relate to animals is with a cat. Because the world is his Picture Quote #1

All of them - my father, mother, step-mother, and grandmother - were all wonderful actors and performers and they are an inspiration to me, both in their craft and in their humanity Picture Quote #1

First lead [in a movie] requires a different approach like trying not to give it all away in the first scene. It is a skill, a learned skill Picture Quote #1

I don’t know how many parts I’ve lost because a lot of the politics in California are very conservative, and I’m fairly outspoken. I always tried to get as much politics in as I could, because I do believe in class struggle, and I think that’s what’s left out Picture Quote #1

I always change my words in everything I do. I make the language fit, because I know the character from the inside out. Often character actors are not in a position to do that, but I do it. I don’t change any cue and I never change anybody else’s lines, but I make my own words fit my mouth Picture Quote #1

I was going to design sports cars, but my father came to my college to visit me. At the time he was making a picture in Sweden and he took me there with him. I got to see Ingmar Bergman’s company and I thought, ‘Gee, filmmaking is a lot more fun than sports cars,’ so I decided to follow him and go into acting Picture Quote #1

I’m a character actor. Nobody’s ever seemed to think of me as a leading man. I’m 6 6’’. I’ve got a big nose. I’m gangly. I’ve got crooked teeth. That’s certainly not Brad Pitt. I’m still around and alive, so if they need older guys, I guess they’re thinking of me Picture Quote #1

I was told by my agent that a number of big stars won’t work with anyone two inches taller than them and most of them are under six feet, so you have to be prepared to have trouble Picture Quote #1

During the run up to the Iraq War, Mike Farrell and I did get on television kind of frequently, but then they saw that that didn’t work. They really couldn’t bait us into being stupid, so they stopped. You know the mainstream media, corporate media, avoids ever giving anyone who has anything to say a platform, if they can possibly help it Picture Quote #1

I’m an animal rights activist because I believe we won’t have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do Picture Quote #1

The Academy Awards were basically created by the industry to promote pictures. They weren’t really to acknowledge the performances. Then it became sort of this a great popularity contest and now, it’s an incredible show and it’s seen all over the world Picture Quote #1

The health of the planet is at stake, because the cruelty and the waste that accompanies the slaughter of billions of animals each year literally infects us all. We could consume healthy plant-based food produced at almost infinitely less cost. What does that say, really, about us and what we’re doing... to animals and to ourselves? Picture Quote #1

Often we’re recreating what we think we’re supposed to be as human beings. What we’ve been told we’re supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that Picture Quote #1

I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer’s in a movie called ‘Still.’ I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it’s called ‘Memorial Day.’ Picture Quote #1

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could Picture Quote #1

Authority is the assumption that someone else knows better than you Picture Quote #1

I say a lot of things I shouldn’t say Picture Quote #1

My friends joke because I will take my clothes off, at the drop of a hat Picture Quote #1

There are reasons to have rules and regulations. That I understand. Authority is a different thing. Authority is to maintain its own position by increasing its power and domination over those people it is supposedly protecting Picture Quote #1

Studios are run by those who are way too old or mostly young, who don’t think creatively Picture Quote #1

I always change my words in everything I do. I make the language fit, because I know the character from the inside out. Often character actors are not in a position to do that, but I do it. I don’t change any cue and I never change anybody else’s lines, but I make my own words fit my mouth Picture Quote #1

The last part of life is a spiritual concern. You need to find a context to put your life into, that will allow you to go through it with as much grace and balance as possible, even if there is rebellion and adventure and exploration and resistance Picture Quote #1

There is something intrinsically, systemically wrong with white, western culture, and if we don’t fix it, it won’t continue Picture Quote #1

Until men learn to celebrate and operate on the feminine aspect of themselves and stop the oppression of women, children, the environment, other species, we don’t have a world to live in. It’s not a world that anyone chooses to live in Picture Quote #1

I’m an animal rights activist because I believe we won’t have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do Picture Quote #1
