Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
Greg Kinnear
There's times when I'll see a show, or something cooking on TV, and think, That can really be fun when it's working. But it's a grind. I did that at NBC, it was five days a week. I was doing Talk Soup and Later at the same time. It's a hard job, more difficult than people realize.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond. The guests would order their dinner and then take a little boat out with a colored flag on the front of it. When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready!

When you have a director who has work you can identify from the past, it gives you some reference point as to what their interpretation of the story might be, and how that might jibe, right or wrong, with how you see it. But with a first-time director, you don't really know where you're at.

Cher's great, she's incredible. She is an enormous, enormous star, who goes anywhere and crowds follow her...and yet she's a disciplined actress and she's down to Earth and cool. I can't say enough good things about her.

'Little Miss Sunshine' was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for. It's usually found in small pockets. But, it ended up getting a real following and worked out pretty well.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role. Maybe I've just done enough of them now where people are like, Oh, it's the guy that's in a swirling vortex of despair, send it to Kinnear! I don't really know, but it does seem to be a recurring theme.
Greg Kinnear
I'm happy to report that everybody whose face I've wanted to punch on Earth has already been punched.
Greg Kinnear
There's no harmony in most people in a way, and I'm attracted to it, and I think it makes for good storytelling.

You don't get to pick your partners in families you get assigned a seat at the table.

A man always looks good in a dark suit.

Cat lovers turn into cat collectors.

Most actors are very deeply passionate about their line of work. I suppose there are probably people who sell insurance policies that are passionate about it, but I'm thinking the ratio is a little higher for actors. But, I may be wrong.
Greg Kinnear
Setting goals can blind you to opportunities. You might be trying to get to point C. When opportunity B comes, you don't even look at it because you're going straight to C.
Greg Kinnear
I like complicated characters.

I had interest in acting. I started as a drama major in college. I got to school and said, What am I going to do with this? But I didn't know anybody in the business, and it seemed like - I don't know. I had a teacher who said Less than 1 percent of you will ever make a living being an actor. That was how we opened the semester.
Greg Kinnear
If you're working on a movie, you want it to be projected on the largest tapestry possible, and the sound to be perfect, and for that kind of communal experience of the movies to take place for it.
Greg Kinnear
I have a very well organized closet.
Greg Kinnear
You learn more about a person from the people around that person than you do from the person themselves. We all have our own ideas of who we are that may or may not be justified, and you can really find out a heck of a lot more accurately from the people around an individual.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role.
