I love the competitive part of stocks. A lot of fear and greed, that's all it is. All I see is green and red.

More quotes by Josh Brolin
I have to tell you, you can't have an ego when you're an actor. A lot of actors have them, but in reality most of those people are just sensitive artists dying for a hug and a compliment.
Josh Brolin
I'm very happy to be involved with great filmmakers.
Josh Brolin
You've got this guy who refuses to die for some reason whether it be a physical or metaphysical reason or spiritual reason so you can do anything. You can kill off anybody and you can still bring them back because he's kind of half there and half in reality, you know?
Josh Brolin
Suddenly, I'm in movies that people are excited about, and that is a nice change.
Josh Brolin
George W. Bush brought a lot of minorities into his administration, which was a positive thing, and they had some issues that they wanted to press, but 9/11 really gave them direction. It gave them a purpose.
Josh Brolin
The only way change will ever happen is if we speak up, and we have to know that it actually has an impact. Because we have a lot more power than we think we do, I think.
Josh Brolin
Football? Forget it. I didn't have that thing inside me where I wanted to smash against somebody and watch them break. I was too sensitive for that and disliked being that sensitive.
Josh Brolin
Back then they had Elvis and they thought Elvis was so risqué. So everyone has their perception to what innocence is.
Josh Brolin
'W.' is not necessarily a political film, but it was sort of a contrasting reality for me to get into George W. Bush as a character because of how I felt about his administration before I started making the film.
Josh Brolin
I've never gotten bitter about where I was at in my career. I've always earned enough money to put my kids through school and eat and all that, so I was never one of those guys who said, Why am I not in this other position? Why am I not that other guy? Why am I me?
Josh Brolin
Fear - there's always fear. You re-create yourself in every movie, don't you?
Josh Brolin
My craziest on-set story comes from during the Goonies, when I came up to Spielberg and said that I wanted to climb the walls of the tunnels and that it represented my mother's womb, for some odd reason. I was reading Stanislawski at the time and Spielberg's response was Why don't you just act.
Josh Brolin
There's always been violence in movies, and there will always be violence in movies. Whether it lends to the one psychotic that's out there, thinking the worst thoughts you could possibly thing, is always going to be a mystery.
Josh Brolin
The last really expensive trip we took was so uncomfortable. It's so lazy. I want somebody to give me a great $30 massage as opposed to a bad $265 massage.
Josh Brolin
When accepting or preparing for a role, fear is the motivating factor.
Josh Brolin
I remember at the premiere of my second movie I started crying. I thought, I'm so bad that I either have to stop this and do something else or learn what I'm doing.
Josh Brolin
In fact, I am so happy to be turning 40 and finally having a reason to take responsibility for my own behavior. It's also worked for me in terms of my physical appearance and emotional make-up and people entrusting me to bring the things a role deserves. I don't know whether that's depth or being a curmudgeon or what.
Josh Brolin
I only took a high school acting class because there was no other class I wanted to take. I loved it, but I was always against acting as a profession. I didn't like the monetary fluctuations I saw.
Josh Brolin
You have no idea, especially in green screen, what movie you're doing. You really don't. And then, you see the movie and you're like, Oh, my god, I'm on a cliff right now! I'm having sex right now! I thought I was dancing.
Josh Brolin
When I was in jail I could only think about what the average person has to go through - the person who has no power to go to the press or no money to hire a lawyer.
