Justice is a word that resides in the dictionary. It occasionally makes its escape, but is promptly caught and put back where it belongs.

More quotes by 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
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
A long life or a short life are of equal importance to God.
Jack Black
I'm an aspiring writer. I hate that phrase. You're either a writer or you're not.
Jack Black
The real challenge is if you don't look super sexy, like a Brad Pitt, you're going to have to try harder. You're going to have to make up for it in other ways.
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
You only have to go hardcore humiliation on the first film. On the subsequent sequels, you can coast.
Jack Black
There's nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you're gonna eat it.
Jack Black
I'm always looking for a fresh perspective because it's fun to tell stories that are original and new in some way.
Jack Black
I'm always looking for talented people that I want to collaborate with.

There's something about a divorce in that even if your parents still love you, the fact that they can't live with each other makes you feel there's something wrong with you.
Jack Black
Every movie presents its challenges.
Jack Black
I don't really think differently of making a movie for grownups or making a movie for kids, if it's boring it's boring, so you want it to be entertaining and I think funny is funny whether it's for kids or grownups, the only real difference is language.
Jack Black
I look for good directors mainly because if you do enough of movies where there's not a real creative vision behind it, you start to turn into a robot and you want to jump off a bridge.
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
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
I like being married. I'm at home with my wife and kids all the time now. I don't go out for wild nights.
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
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.
