A few quotes I collected from several articles and interviews. I'm pretty sure there are still amazing ones missing, so if you know more, please send them to me and I'll add them. Thank you. :) About Gilmore Girls: "When I saw Alexis, who plays Rory the daughter, and Lauren, who plays her mother Lorelai, I walked on the set and there they were, rehearsing a scene and I thought, my god, this is terrific. These people are really good. And right from that moment on, I knew it was something special." "Amy was the one who gave us the break in Hollywood and she created that show. She was the energy behind that show. She was the brains behind that show. You just can't replace that. It's irreplacable." “That show ended badly. That’s not how a show should’ve ended. It ended bitterly and it ended badly. Nobody got a chance to say goodbye. […] But you know, that’s the way how things happen sometimes. It’s unfortunate but inevitable.” About Luke/Lorelai: "They want the marriage to happen. Once the fans get what they think they want, maybe they're not so happy about it." "You don't just see this kind of electricity very often between actors." "I think the show benefits from the tension. [...] I think if they get together, the audience will not be so interested anymore. And in their relationship." About a Gilmore Girls movie: "They asked me if I'd be interested in a reunion movie and I said, 'Look, if Amy Sherman-Palladino is writing it, I'll do the phonebook for her.'" “It would depend on the script, obviously. It would depend on Amy’s involvement. I told her not only would I hide a body for her, I would chop one up. About Lauren: "She was like a sister, you know? It was kinda weird and awkward. It was just not what you guys think it was." About Aliens in America: “I was planning on taking a year off but my manager told me that I wasn’t Brad Pitt and I couldn’t afford to do that. [laughs] And when I recovered from that statement, I read the script – they sent me the script and I just thought it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.” “I feel very lucky to be a part of it.” “Once we were on the set and actually rehearsing and shooting, it was hard to get through it because the director and the producers were laughing so hard, that they were kind of ruining all the takes. And then I started laughing so hard because they were laughing so hard. And then I started to cry because I was laughing so hard, so they had to redo the makeup.” About the Aliens in America Cast: “I love Amy Pietz. This cast is terrific actors, great people who’re having a lot of fun together.” “The first person I met was Amy, and I met her in LA and the chemistry was instant. And I just adore her. I think she’s already one of my favourite people on the planet. She’s a spectacular woman, spectacularly talented, generous human being. And then I met the rest of the cast and I feel the same way about them. They’re so talented and so giving and such dedicated professionals.” About skiing: "My big fantasy was to be a ski racer when I was a kid but I grew up in New Jersey, exit 4. We didn't have mountains there, so I really couldn't do that kind of thing." "I got invited in this celebrity ski thing. And on the first run, it's on national television, the guy comes over into my course and crashes into me and with his ski cuts my leg open...and cuts my side open. And it was very dramatic. And I fell and went right through the gate and that hurts. That doesn't feel good. [...] And I was in such pain that I just went-, my body was going down the mountain and I couldn't move. And that was my first experience as a ski racer. [...] I ended up winning, yeah. Our team won the gold medal." "My favorite would have to be Billy Kid. I ask him for some ski tips and he says, 'At the end of the run, are you smiling?' And I say, 'Sure'. And he goes, 'Well, then you're doing it right.'" About Baseball: "You never saw me play. You wouldn't be applauding." "It more or less gave me up. I didn't give it up. They kind of said, 'We've had enough of you. Go find something else to do.'" About acting and Hollywood: "Persistance. Patience. You can't take it personally when you get rejected. And if you have a lot of money, you should bribe people as often as possible. [laughs]" "Be prepared. Be as prepared as possible can. Have a lot of experience in theater. And don't come here to become famous, if that's your intention. Come here because you're driven. You love the work and you wanna work with certain writers and certain directors and certain actors that you aspire to be like. You know, as much as people wanna drag down Hollywood, it's Tinseltown and all. It's like Sin City and it's Soddom and Gomorra. It's not. It's holy ground out here. It's where people come to seek the highest. And that's done here on a daily basis. It's a sacred place. And I think people should respect that. So, the main piece of advice is, just know your craft as best as you possibly can. And realize that it's gonna take a while for them to recognize. That if you do have talent and you are ready, that they will recognize it. But don't take anything personally. They don't mean it personally." "Another piece of advice is, 'Just be yourself'. Don't try to be anybody else because there's only one you and that's inherently unique and if you're putting on some show, they're gonna see right through it. So, believe me. I've done it and I failed at that. [laughs] And the day you become comfortable in your own skin and you trust that that's enough, it's the day you gonna be successful." About his tattoos: "I have two and they go back to Highschool. And all I say is that I tattooed the initials from sort of meaningful events that took place in both our lifes, on to my right shoulder and to my left shoulder." |
