More quotes by Judd Nelson

Image
[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
Image
[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
Image
Adam Sandler is a really funny guy in real life. Separate from all of the movies, that is a funny man.
Judd Nelson
Image
[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.

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.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.
Judd Nelson
Image
Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Remember to be as smart as you are.

I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.

Image
I don't know if it matters what country you're from, size of the city you're from, urban or rural, there are people that are hurting each other everywhere.
Judd Nelson
Image
John Hurt was incredible to work with.

Image
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
Image
You know who was wonderful to work with? Was Paul Gleason, may he rest in peace.
Judd Nelson
Image
The first animation thing I did was the first Transformers, the one that was animated many years ago. And I had heard that Orson Welles was doing a voice on it.
Judd Nelson
Image
While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.
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.

[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.
Judd Nelson
Image
[St. Elmo's Fire] it was pretty soon after that. I know we didn't do Breakfast Club knowing we were going to do that.
Judd Nelson
Image
Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence.

I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.
