Clarifying your identity helps you just talk to ladies.
Jack Black
You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.
Jack Black
It's a mistake to just go make a movie where the whole thing is talking down to the kids like, Ok, we gotta bring the IQ of this movie down because it's a kids movie You don't have to do that, kids can laugh and parents can laugh at different parts and that's fun, and you see that with all of the great kids movies.
Jack Black
Buddha is pretty funny. Buddha is the coolest, though. If I had to go with one, I'd probably party with the Buddha.
Jack Black
When you get to a certain level of recognizability, celebrity, you can't go out of the house without someone going, Can I just have one photo? I don't mind, by the way, if anyone wants one we can take some photos. But sometimes you just wanna stay in the house or in the hotel room with the shades closed.
Jack Black
A long life or a short life are of equal importance to God.
Jack Black
The thing is, the kids always rebel against what the parents try to push on them so I'm going to pretend like I don't want my son to hear the rock. I'm going to listen to it only in my private chambers. He'll hear echoes of it and say: What was that you were listening to papa? And I'll say: Nothing son, you're not ready.
Jack Black
I don't think of myself as a great improver. A lot of times there's long periods of silence when everyone in the recording studio is looking at their watch and waiting for me to say something. And I'm searching desperately in my brain for anything before something dribbles out.
Jack Black
Part of the acting gig is when you're let loose some improvs and put stuff into your own words every once in a while. That doesn't get you a writing credit or more money. It just makes it more fun.
Jack Black
Seems like every other day there's somebody on the news, somebody gets killed or does something crazy and all the neighbors and everybody says, I can't believe he did that, I can't believe she did that.
Jack Black
I recommend that everyone in their youth be as out of shape as possible so that when you turn 40, people can go, Wow, you look much better now.
Jack Black
I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights, it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.
Jack Black
Justice is a word that resides in the dictionary. It occasionally makes its escape, but is promptly caught and put back where it belongs.
Jack Black
Tenacious D loves Auntie Em's. Her delicious nutrients are always energizing and indie-fresh. Where does she find those unbelievable recipes? Somewhere over the rainbow?
Jack Black
I always feel bad for people getting married and spending upwards of a hundred thousand dollars. It just seems so absurd to me.
Jack Black
Every movie presents its challenges.
Jack Black
I really wanted people to pay attention to me and like me. And the class clown thing, you know? There's a weird desperation to the class clown when you really investigate it. Why are they trying to be the clown so much? They're filling some kind of hole.
Jack Black
I'm an aspiring writer. I hate that phrase. You're either a writer or you're not.
Jack Black
I'm used to being crazy and rock-n-rolly, which is a little different than this world. For me, it was a chance to stretch a little bit.
Jack Black
When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world. Then, the fastest runner and then the smartest person in the world. One by one my delusions got shut down. Now I just see myself as the lamest guy in the world.
Jack Black
