More quotes by 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 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
Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence.
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.

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.

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
I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.
Judd Nelson
When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.
Judd Nelson
My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors
Judd Nelson
With failure, you just try again.
Judd Nelson
As a kid, I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.
Judd Nelson
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
Remember to be as smart as you are.
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.
Judd Nelson
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.
Judd Nelson
I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.

[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
There were a few things that, in rehearsal, any one of us might try. [John] Hughes would go, I like that, to me spitting up in the air and catching it in my mouth. It was just something I did in a rehearsal and Molly [ Ringwald] went, Ewww. And John went, Can you do that again? And I went all day long, and he was like, Okay, let's do
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
Kim Coates is really funny. He's a blast. If you have to get beaten up and tortured, he's a good guy to get tortured by.
