More quotes by Greg Kinnear
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.

I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. I found it incredibly difficult, doing that kind of sales work. I would have thought I'd be good at it, but I wasn't.

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.

The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.

Let's keep the chemists over here and the food over here, that's my feeling. What do I know? But that is a big aspect of fast food is their ability to artificially taint the colors and the smells and stuff to stimulate appetite.
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.

I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.
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.
