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.

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.

[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.

Heroes always make the right decision I find that seldom happens in my life.

I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.
Judd Nelson
I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.

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

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.

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
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.
Judd Nelson
My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.
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.

Adam Sandler is a really funny guy in real life. Separate from all of the movies, that is a funny man.
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
While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.
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 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.

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
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.
Judd Nelson
Death is not my best subject.
