More quotes by Jeff Daniels

Jeff Daniels
There are so many projects that you go into hoping the story works, and here comes a new third act and that kind of thing.
Jeff Daniels
Give me good writing, and I'll play it all day.
Jeff Daniels
You know, its really strange now with the Internet, with everyone having an unsolicited, anonymous opinion.
Jeff Daniels
On cable now, the writer is king. Any actor chases that.
Jeff Daniels
I love living in Michigan, which has been great for my kids and my family.
Jeff Daniels
Nothing seems to matter but ourselves. That's not how I was brought up. I don't recognize the country I live in anymore.
Jeff Daniels

Jeff Daniels
I know I'm not bipolar or schizophrenic, but this career allows you to explore, to take some facets of yourself and spin it.
Jeff Daniels
I learned a long time ago that the show you're going to see isn't the one you have in your head. As soon as you understand that, you're going to enjoy it a lot more.
Jeff Daniels
I also write plays, so I understand the writers mind, and how obsessed you can get writing.
Jeff Daniels

Jeff Daniels
And that's one thing that helps me is I learn it blandly, vanilla, then I don't try to act it too soon because you start to act it, and you kind of go away from what the next sentence is, what the next paragraph is. So get it down so it kind of can - it's in there so you can then, as I call it, dance on top of it.
Jeff Daniels
I have done all of the genres, and the dramatic role is my favorite.
Jeff Daniels
I think it's a style of acting that you trust. You trust the instincts.
Jeff Daniels
Every actor just wants good writing.
Jeff Daniels
I know there are people, if I go into a market or a city for the first time, there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person, or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine, it gets them in the door, but then it's my job to give them something different.
Jeff Daniels
There is no best anything in art.
Jeff Daniels
And the actors tend not to want to watch themselves very often. I'm one of those guys.
Jeff Daniels
Stars don't want to have flaws. Stars like to be likable.
Jeff Daniels
