James Wood People Quotations

It seems a well-run festival. The people are great, and San Diego is a very welcoming town. I'm having a great time.

I really just don't want to act any more. People say why and I said, 'Have you been to the movies lately?' They're just horrible. They're just so bad. And I was sent this script and I said to the agent at the time, 'What's the deal?' He said, 'Well, they've offered it to you.' I said, 'Yes! The answer is yes!' (Laughs) Are you kidding? This thing is hilarious. It just is so right on target, it's so not politically correct. And then I heard Evan was going to be in it? The absolute most talented actress I've worked with in a decade. Really, honestly? You can't imagine how talented she is.

People who have been here 25 years feel like they haven't had any appreciation since they've been here. Now all of a sudden they've got all this appreciation in the last couple of years.

That's what they call these people from California and Nevada. They bought a home in 1975 in Santa Monica for $110,000. It's now worth $800,000. They've paid it off. What they plan on doing is taking the money out and retiring.

To me, this is just what I do. But I've had a lot of people just thank me, which is very rewarding.
