Jason Schwartzman Thinking Quotations

What I think is so great about interviews, is when people cite inspirations.

I don't know the first real thing about the dating game. I don't know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general.

Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It's just that constant strangeness. I think it's a very real thing.

I like being alone and I think this movie, as much as it is an investigation of connection and people bonding, I also think it's just as much about loneliness.

At this point, I think I would garner a lot of hate mail if I was now on the cover of Modern Drummer seeing as I'm not a modern drummer anymore.

I often wonder, Is it worth waiting only for things you think are going to be truly great, or is that a pretentious attitude to take?

It takes so long to write a script, thinking to yourself, "Am I wasting my time? Am I putting everything into this thing that maybe just won't ever exist?" I always think, God, acting is so much easier. At least for acting you have the source material already.

I love the idea of playing a character that didn't over think everything. He knows what's in front of him and he has an ability to just say whatever he felt

Whereas I think in New York every step is a detour in every direction.

It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye

But actually, I'm planning on moving to New York this year and I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don't expect have happen to you.

I believe in not over thinking things too much. When the right thing comes along, you really don’t have a choice.
