I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.

More quotes by 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
Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
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
The family is where most of our joy comes from.
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
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
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 loved working with Meryl Streep twice and I've gotten to work with my friend Liam Neeson on several occasions.
Aidan Quinn
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
Aidan Quinn
I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.
Aidan Quinn
I get to do interesting roles and make a living.
Aidan Quinn
I can't control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can't control.
Aidan Quinn
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods.
Aidan Quinn
I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.
Aidan Quinn
Money is just something to be circulated.
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
Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
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.
Aidan Quinn
I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
Aidan Quinn
Make them laugh, and then make them listen.
