More quotes by James Badge Dale
Kids will tease you for just about anything.
James Badge Dale
The physicality was important to me. Because the film has Shane Black's dialogue, and [Robert] Downey's delivery, and you look at [Jon] Favreau, Don Cheadle and Gwyneth [Paltrow], it is this heightened level with a comedic aspect to it. Everything is grounded in reality, but it plays a little heightened.
James Badge Dale
I've never been someone to count lines, look at it that way.
James Badge Dale
The hats are tough. I've got a weird head, so believe me, there were a lot of hats. Penny [Rose], our costume designer, who I knew from other jobs said, Badge, that looks terrible on you. Hold on. No, we can't do that one.
James Badge Dale
I've always thought that I'm kind of a cross between a young Bill Clinton and Lyle Lovett. And I just want to say I'm proud of that. Those are two good looking guys.

When you're outside in those elements, there's something out there that takes it out of you, so you work real hard. It was physically demanding, but in a very good way. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing, when things are physically demanding 'cause everyone is rising to the occasion.
James Badge Dale
In a weird way, I live vicariously through the characters I play as an actor.
James Badge Dale
These stunt guys are good at what they do and they're professional. A smart actor will step back and say, I'm going to let the professionals do this. Hats off to those guys, man. When you see the credits scroll, look at all those stunt guys and remember all those names 'cause they earned their money on this.

Speaking of childhood fantasy, we were doing a Western, but we were also just hanging out. You work, and you ride and ride and ride, and then, for the next two hours, you look for a place to kick out, in this amazing canyon with so much heritage and so much history.
James Badge Dale
I don't know why I just remembered this, and I haven't told anybody this, but we were shooting in Canyon de Chelly and we were so far up the canyon. Once we were up there, we were up there. There was no going back to your trailers.
James Badge Dale
I like pressure. Pressure is good.
James Badge Dale
I got beat up by the comic-book kids when I was younger! They were cooler than me. Talk about levels of geekdom, I was a couple rungs below the kids who read comic books. Yeah. Not so cool, man.
James Badge Dale
I think pressure when you work is good. It forces you to take risks and to do other things.
James Badge Dale
My experience as a young actor on network television was that I couldn't make it work. I was drowning as an actor.
James Badge Dale
I want to show up to work and take risks. I don't ever want to play it safe.
James Badge Dale
I always like playing the bad guys. They have more fun!
