More quotes by John C. Reilly
To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.
John C. Reilly
Life is often confusing and sad, and I'm a big fan of the slap and the tickle, as they say.
John C. Reilly
I know I'm not some matinee idol, but I think we're sold this bill of goods by the media, which says that only the most beautiful and dashing people can become movie stars. So when someone like me sneaks in, they have to redo the calculations.
John C. Reilly
Most boys' first hero is their father. That was definitely true of my dad. He was a proud Irish American and he taught me a lot about ethics and responsibility. He also introduced me to a lot of wonderful folk music.
John C. Reilly
I think that's some of the stuff that we kind of joke on in the movie, this obsession number one, winning is everything, number one, number one.
John C. Reilly
Surprising people is the key to career longevity for someone like me.
John C. Reilly
Really if you look at my filmography, there's something for everyone!
John C. Reilly
I give as much as I can, and it's up to someone else to turn it into a movie. Good luck to you!

I don't mind doing scripted material. It's actually kind of a relief, because improvising is a little bit like screenwriting on your feet.
John C. Reilly
Why people pick me for the roles that they do is a bit of a mystery.
John C. Reilly
There are a lot of actors in the world, there's a small number that actually get to work as actors, and there is a tiny group of actors that are celebrated in the way that I have been. I feel incredibly lucky.
John C. Reilly
Hollywood is an illusion. These intense workplaces, with very close relationships, a few months at a time - and then it ends.
John C. Reilly
I like how pure the expression is in music. You can go straight to the heart of an audience rather than through their brain.
John C. Reilly
I don't know how to be like a Bill Murray or a Will Ferrell, these guys who know how to make a line funny just by, I don't know, some extra-sense perception. I only know character and emotion and real acting that's all I know how to do.
John C. Reilly
When I first joined SAG, there was another John Reilly. My dad was John Reilly, too, but growing up I was John John. Nobody in life calls me John C. It's more like, Hey you, Step Brother!
John C. Reilly
I really enjoy my time off. If I'm going to go to work, it has to be something I really believe in, or else it's totally tedious.
John C. Reilly
I like working with people I know. It saves a lot of awkward conversations and getting-to-know-you kinda moments. You trust the people if you know them.
John C. Reilly
I do a lot of improvising on movies, actually.
John C. Reilly
I had [at school] my own little posse of people that all felt weird together so it wasn't so lonely.
John C. Reilly
One of the reasons people find me a believable actor is that I don't seem like one of the gods from Olympus. I seem like someone who was lucky enough to be let into Olympus.
John C. Reilly
