More quotes by Judd Nelson
Death is not my best subject.
Judd Nelson
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.
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
While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.
Judd Nelson
Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.
Judd Nelson
I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.

Stagecoach is really my first Western-Western, the whole horses and gunplay. It was really fun. We shot it fast, too. We got lucky with the weather. If it rained, I don't know if we would have been able to finish it. We had like 12 shooting days for the whole thing.
Judd Nelson
[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
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
[In The Dark Backward ] someone who has writer's block and kills people in A Cabin By The Lake. I guess he's a type of serial killer, but I don't know.
Judd Nelson
You know who was wonderful to work with? Was Paul Gleason, may he rest in peace.
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 in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler
Judd Nelson
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.
Judd Nelson
I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.
Judd Nelson
The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.
Judd Nelson
[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.
Judd Nelson
I took all the philosophy courses I could.
Judd Nelson
You have to kind of roll with the punches. That's why I think work begets work to a certain degree. I just try and keep busy.
Judd Nelson
It's strange, 'cause a play, you start at the beginning and you go all the way through to the end. So it's naturally very well rehearsed and you get a rhythm and a flow. In film, you can shoot the ending before the beginning. It's very odd. And it's like a craft you have to learn.
