Gary Cole People Quotations

It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.

You make the choice. You look at each scene and you make sure that this is not a person deceiving people.

Part of you wants to look over at the people watching and say, "Not bad, huh? Me and Clint Eastwood." But you have to get past that and just be an actor.

Clint Eastwood is a very soft-spoken, humble guy, actually, which helped put somebody like me at ease, who had never worked with somebody as huge as that. I'm sure that's not always the case with legendary people.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.

The whole notion is to be able to attract people to stay overnight.

This is professional theater, and we will cast the best people we can. I would love to have a combination of people from the area and the Triangle.
