More quotes by Aidan Quinn
I don't get any parts I don't get offered. There are lots of great things out there I would like to do that I don't get offered.
Aidan Quinn
I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
Aidan Quinn
I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.
Aidan Quinn
Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
Aidan Quinn
Make them laugh, and then make them listen.
Aidan Quinn
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
Aidan Quinn
I don't care. I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that. Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview--they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.
Aidan Quinn
My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move.

Aidan Quinn
I would love, more than anything, to do an out-and-out farce with huge physical energy. Just because you're from the minimalist school, it doesn't mean you can't go big.
Aidan Quinn
You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.
Aidan Quinn
Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.
Aidan Quinn
I get to do interesting roles and make a living.
Aidan Quinn
Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.
Aidan Quinn
I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
Aidan Quinn
There's certainly more work for me in TV these days.
Aidan Quinn
There will come a day when the phone doesn't ring as much as it used to.
Aidan Quinn
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods. That's why I don't live in Los Angeles. Being physically away from Hollywood probably loses me a few jobs, but the best ones seek me out.
