More quotes by Gary Cole
A show that's been successful that been on a while, chances are it's going to stay that way. At least it's going to maintain some kind of standard. But when a show begins, there's no telling. Even after 13 shows or a whole year, you don't know what will become of it.

I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.

I look at it scene-by-scene. Whether it's a historical character or not, whatever, on the page is one thing and delving into the history or somebody is one thing, but making something work for an audience in front of a camera is another exercise and you bring whatever authenticity you can to it.

If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

Gary Cole
Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.
Gary Cole
You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.
Gary Cole
I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.
Gary Cole
Television is a big roulette table on so many levels. That's all it is for actors.
Gary Cole
You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.
Gary Cole
I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.
Gary Cole
It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.
Gary Cole
A lot of actors in my age bracket look at being still standing as pretty good.
