Jeff Goldblum quotes about
It's mysterious what attracts you to a person.
People work harder when conditions are worse.
Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.
Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It's very contemporary.
I'm always interested in the unexpected and know that things, especially in show business, but in life generally, are inevitably fleeting to one extent.
Involve yourself every day. Work hard and figure out how to love acting all day, every day. It's getting into a made-up situation and making it good and making it real and just playing, just practicing and playing. Like the musicians that I played piano with: they never expect to be rich or famous, but they, for the sheer joy of it, play every day, all day.
The universe is so big, there's so many worlds, there must be one of them or more, something that's alive.
I do a lot of talking, playing with the audience, but I don't really know what that's going to be. Somebody kind of feeds me cold. He gives me these kind of cold games that I play with the audience or quizzes that I do with them.
I like how time goes on set. It's almost like time on an airplane or something where people are together. It's a different, very trippy kind of time, I find, because you're together in imaginary time where you're out of time. You're called upon to be present and honor what can happen in the moment. And the whole day can go like that. The whole day can be a kind of meditation.
I had a brother who died early on - he was 23 when I was 19. And, boy, I certainly didn't expect that. That was utterly shocking.
I don't go to these places where there are belly dancers and this and that.
Oh yeah, oohing and ahhing, that's how it always starts, but later there's the running and screaming.
An actor wants to get up every day and they can't think of anything particularly more fun to do than getting into a made-up situation and living it out as if it's real.
The marrying of an actor and his whimsical and theatrical vision is very enjoyable, because he wants it to be filled with something honest, truthful, human, soulful, substantial.
