John C Reilly Quotes

Here’s the thing, with comedy - and I learned this from Will Ferrell - you can’t be ashamed. If you’re doing comedy, you have to fully commit to the joke. Shame is not part of it. If you act shy or uncomfortable about your body, that makes the audience shy and uncomfortable. And in a comedy you just want them to loosen up and laugh Picture Quote #1

[Country Music] is the final destination for many punk rockers [...] Rockabilly is the mid-point and then [they] end up at Country [...] There’s purity to that music and I think that appeals to a lot of punk rock people - the precision, the purity, and the directness of Country Music Picture Quote #1

Actually, acting turned out to be the perfect job for me, because I had a lot of different interests. I thought about being a priest at one point. I thought about being a teacher. I thought about being a lawyer. But I think acting is probably the best job for me Picture Quote #1

If you’re really being honest with yourself when you’re acting, part of it is touching the real you. You can only separate yourself so much from the character. Those vulnerable moments do touch me Picture Quote #1

I’m bored by repeating myself, and I would imagine that an audience would be bored by me repeating myself Picture Quote #1

I find people attractive for more subtle reasons than just the way they look Picture Quote #1

This is real human drama, we’re not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it’s got a real pathos behind it Picture Quote #1

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success Picture Quote #1

Acting’s all about the confidence you exude, especially on film. I mean, nervousness isn’t attractive in anyone, but a film camera will seek it out and punish you Picture Quote #1

I don’t really get off on the anonymous love of strangers, which I think a lot of actors do. They’re lacking something in their own personal lives, so they want the adoration of autographs and all that stuff Picture Quote #1

My family are all storytellers, and I think I inherited a lot more of that gene than other people in my family. I guess I was fun to have around Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind doing scripted material. It’s actually kind of a relief, because improvising is a little bit like screenwriting on your feet Picture Quote #1

A script is like a theory of a movie Picture Quote #1

One of the unique things is that whether we were out at sea or in the middle of the water tank, a lot of times you just couldn’t leave. Especially when we were out at sea Picture Quote #1

Oh, absolutely, it felt more serious than your typical job. One of the things that got us through how difficult the shooting actually was was that we are telling a real story Picture Quote #1
