Curtis Armstrong quotes about
I'm not a nerd, I play one on TV.
Every now and then say, 'What the fu©k.' 'What the fu©k' gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
I try to work and enjoy life, and that's about all.
I'm at least getting my foot in the door as far as doing straight dramatic parts, which no one would have ever considered me for in the '80s. I never objected to that because I love doing comedy, and I'm not the kind of actor that insists that unless you're doing a serious dramatic role, you're not acting.
I'm not an improv guy.
I like people who try to do big things.
The movies that I did in the '80s were either good or bad, but I never was oppressed with any feeling - I mean, I thought it was ridiculous to play high school or college students when I was 30. But at the same time, that was really done then.
Without a plan, there's no attack. Without attack, no victory.
Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.
It was very natural that people just think of me as a comic actor.
.....Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.
My vision had always been that I was gonna be a stage actor and that was it.
For an actor to have a role that they're recognized and remembered for over the years, it's unusual. It's very lucky if it happens once - and it's luck that it's happened to me a couple of times.
