It seems I have a hard time being attracted to someone unless I respect what they do on some level. Otherwise, I would feel disdain for them. Which is not always pleasant in a relationship. Sometimes it's fun though.

More quotes by Eric Stoltz
I'll be directing some more 'Private Practice' episodes when we wrap 'Caprica.'
Eric Stoltz
But I've always felt that the less you know about an actor's personal life, the more you can get involved in the story in which he's playing a character. And I don't like to see movies where you know about everything that happens behind the scenes. I can't engage in the story if I know what's going on in the actor's head.
Eric Stoltz
I realize I'm a very lucky man. I love what I do, I love films, TV and theater, and the fact that I'm able to make a living at it staggers me.
Eric Stoltz
To this day I over prepare. I draw storyboards for every scene - chicken scratches so crude that they amuse and horrify the crew. I send out shot lists, act out the scenes, and search for a theme that I can relate to. It's my favorite time of the process.
Eric Stoltz
Let's not kid ourselves here, robots already run most of our world. We'll be their butlers soon enough.
Eric Stoltz
I try to read all news sources - not just CNN or FOX, but worldwide papers and journals, to get opinions from every end of the spectrum - and then I like to try to find out the cut and dried facts - and go from there.

I studied piano for many years, and I still play. I'm a complete amateur, and I wouldn't consider myself very good at all, but I enjoy it.
Eric Stoltz
Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on.
Eric Stoltz
It's hard not to get a big head in the film industry, there are people on a set paid to cater to your every need, from the minute you arrive until you go home. It's kind of strange, but not unpleasant.
Eric Stoltz
I was up for Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather,' but, as I was only 10 at the time, I think Mr. Coppola made the right choice. The Julia Roberts role in 'Pretty Woman' held a bizarre allure for me. But, it's silly to look back with regret.
Eric Stoltz
Directing has only increased my admiration and respect for what it is that actors do.
Eric Stoltz
I've been pretty lucky - or slothful - in that I've never been a career builder, I take the jobs that come along that feel right, and that's left me fairly open to all genres, really. But with Caprica, the complex, dark and very smart script was the draw.
Eric Stoltz
I don't want to see the zipper in the back of the monster suit. Like everybody else who goes to the movies, I want to believe the monster is real.
Eric Stoltz
I did a film called 'Fort McCoy,' based on a true story of one of the few internment camps during WWII that was actually in the United States.
Eric Stoltz
It just seems to me that the world's kind of a mess, and the more messy it gets, the more interested I am in escapist fare. Having a good time is something that isn't about the war in Iraq or the Asian flu or the Kyoto protocol - things that are horribly depressing to consider in our real lives. I'm eager to get away from them.
Eric Stoltz
Look, I'm an actor, I don't profess to understand much of anything
Eric Stoltz
I have several dogs and several cats who aren't really mine. In fact, they think that I am theirs. I'd like to have some goats and chickens, but I travel around too much.
Eric Stoltz
My first film as an actor was 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' a glorious experience that spoiled me for future films.
Eric Stoltz
I consider myself a very lucky man indeed.
Eric Stoltz
I've been directing more and more the last few years, I find it an enjoyable challenge.
