If you read a script enough, especially a good script - I try to read it 40 to 50 times before you begin so you get a sense of the arc: what happens before, what happens after, what happens during.

Judd Nelson
I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.
Judd Nelson
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
I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.
Judd Nelson

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.

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

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
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
[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.
