James Spader Quotes

You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it’s all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that.

Most of us are tradesmen Picture Quote #1

For me, when working on a film or play or television show, everything for me starts with the screenplay and I am devoted to that and that is what I work from. Any research I do or any preparation I do on my own is all ultimately in service of that Picture Quote #1

Every film you work on is different, and that’s part of what it’s like for anybody who works on a film, is to learn how to work with others. Learn from top to bottom. Actors have to learn how to work with the director and the director has to learn how to work with actors, and that’s not just those two departments Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a lazy career, sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I’m walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I’m much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side Picture Quote #1

Acting is a great way to make a living, especially when I consider what my alternatives were and probably still are. I mean, you are only making movies.

I’d like to thank the academy and I’d like to thank my mother and I’d like to thank my mother again, because I forgot to thank her last year Picture Quote #1

I lost interest in firearms because we had a dog that was scared to death of the sound of a rifle shot Picture Quote #1
