More quotes by Judd Nelson
[John] Hughes is a great loss, I think. He was the first filmmaker that could look at someone who was young without seeing them as being less.
Judd Nelson
I took all the philosophy courses I could.
Judd Nelson
Death is not my best subject.
Judd Nelson
[John] Hughes was well aware that to ignore the seriousness of young people is to encourage things like Columbine, so you might want to listen. And we were all pretty serious, a little bit, in high school. Some a little more than others.
Judd Nelson
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.
Judd Nelson
Voice-over stuff is so much fun because you don't have hair and makeup and wardrobe. You get to show up. And there were some talented people, and we don't even know them. And they're so gifted. They can do all these accents and voices. It's really fun to do that stuff. It's really like actor camp.
Judd Nelson
You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.
Judd Nelson
I wanted to meet Orson Welles. So I was like, whatever, somehow get me in on this. I'm able to get cast in it, but Orson Welles worked alone. He worked before all of us worked. He didn't want to work with anyone else.
Judd Nelson
[John] Hughes really wanted it to sound authentic. He was a real collaborator. He encouraged us to bring to the material things we thought were maybe more truthful.
Judd Nelson
I went to acting school with Mario Van Peebles. For a little while, he was at the same school. So he asked me if I wanted to do [ New Jack City]. He said, There's not really a role. We'll figure something out. But would you like to? And I was like, Sure. 'Cause he said it was Chris Rock and Ice T's first movie.
Judd Nelson
You can do crap work in a big movie, and it does good things. You can do great work in a movie no one sees, it does nothing. That's the way it goes.
Judd Nelson
I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.
Judd Nelson
I think that sometimes you don't have the opportunities for some of the most A-list-type movies, big-budget movies. But I think it's important to keep working and make the best of what's available. Because otherwise, what? Are you just going to get bitter and moan? What does my mom always say? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Judd Nelson
You just have to learn certain technical things, like where the camera is, not to block people's light in your own, to hit your marks, and that you do it kind of piecemeal.
Judd Nelson
John Hurt was incredible to work with.
Judd Nelson
When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.
Judd Nelson
I'm involved with Recording Artists and Actors Against Drunk Driving. I'm also involved with most children's causes, because children can't help the environment they're in.
Judd Nelson
I play a garbage man who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Terrible.
Judd Nelson
Trace Adkins doesn't talk too much, but when he does he's got great stories. He's lived a great life.
Judd Nelson
Fandango is not really a Western. It's really just set in Texas. It's a road picture. And then I did one that hasn't come out yet called Kreep, which is set in Texas, but it's not really a Western. But it has a more rural-Texas feel to it.
