James Cromwell
A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.
James Cromwell
There are reasons to have rules and regulations. That I understand. Authority is a different thing. Authority is to maintain its own position by increasing its power and domination over those people it is supposedly protecting.
James Cromwell
Every day is perfect because there's no other day! As a friend of mine said, Ride the horse in the direction it's going. When you do that, you realize that every moment, every breath, every sound, every encounter is a gift. You bloody well better enjoy it.
James Cromwell
Anybody can call me Jamie, and you have to watch it when you call me James. Then there's going to be a problem.
James Cromwell
Pigs may not be as cuddly as kittens or puppies, but they suffer just as much.
James Cromwell
I'm a character actor. Nobody's ever seemed to think of me as a leading man. I'm 6'6''. I've got a big nose. I'm gangly. I've got crooked teeth. That's certainly not Brad Pitt. I'm still around and alive, so if they need older guys, I guess they're thinking of me.
James Cromwell
Barney Miller' was a lot of fun. I'm very fond of Abe Vigoda. Most - a lot of people on that cast - I really liked.
James Cromwell
I auditioned for 'Revenge Of The Nerds,' and I so did not want the picture. I didn't want it. I didn't want be in anything that had nerds anywhere.
James Cromwell
I started in theatre. I was at Cleveland and I went to London for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.
James Cromwell
I don't look like a leading man, whatever they look like. It's changing a little.
James Cromwell
When I did 'Babe' I wanted to talk about animal rights without going through some convoluted justifications about using animal products.
James Cromwell
You don't just one day say, 'That's it, I'm doing this, I'm going to throw all my shoes out and I'm not eating honey and I won't drive my car because there are animal bones in the tires' because you'd drive yourself around the bend.
James Cromwell
All of them - my father, mother, step-mother, and grandmother - were all wonderful actors and performers and they are an inspiration to me, both in their craft and in their humanity.
James Cromwell
We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.
James Cromwell
Once a film is shot, the thing that mostly happens is that I go see all the things I would have fixed in my performance and sometimes, very rarely, I see a moment that surprise me and I go, Oh, that's not bad. That was nice.
James Cromwell
Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.
James Cromwell
My friends joke because I will take my clothes off, at the drop of a hat.
James Cromwell
I always change my words in everything I do. I make the language fit, because I know the character from the inside out. Often character actors are not in a position to do that, but I do it. I don't change any cue and I never change anybody else's lines, but I make my own words fit my mouth.
James Cromwell
