A wide receiver like me wouldn't have won. The quarterback - or even the running back - always wins.

More quotes by Patrick Wilson
I don't concentrate on if a moment is scary or not. That's not my job.
Patrick Wilson
It's very hard to just break into movies. I always felt like it would be giving up a theatre career to go and try and be in movies. So, I thought I'd exhaust the theatre thing, go as far as I can, and originate roles, be on Broadway, maybe win some Tony Awards, and then hopefully some door would open. Luckily, it did.
Patrick Wilson
There are tons of different reasons why you do TV series and why you don't, and how it'll affect your career, and all that. Without a doubt, it has always come down to the script for me. I'm an actor who wants to do great parts, and I've been very fortunate, for a long time, to get meaty roles.
Patrick Wilson
For me, it doesn't matter whether it's a comedy, a Western or horror. As long as you've got a good story to tell, the genre almost doesn't matter. As an actor playing the role, it's all rooted in reality.
Patrick Wilson
I think you have to pick and choose what is most important to tell the story.
Patrick Wilson
I just want to do as many different genres as I can. I think that's part of it... to not get pigeon-holed because if one of them breaks out and becomes a big hit then typically people want to keep putting you in that kind of role.
Patrick Wilson
The blessing and the curse of not having a huge hit... you can go in and out of roles and some people know who you are and some people don't. I'd love for one of these movies to be super successful because then at least you're presented with more opportunities.
Patrick Wilson
You have your vision and you need to be focused, but you have to listen. I never felt a sense that the wheels were going to come off because we're all friends and family. It was all good.
Patrick Wilson
I try to shave at night so my skin has a chance to settle by the early morning call-time.
Patrick Wilson
Mike Nicholls saw me in the musical of The Full Monty and brought me in to audition for Angels in America for HBO. And that opened a lot of doors because you could go to LA and say: Well, I'm starring opposite Al Pacino and Meryl Streep...
Patrick Wilson
It's frustrating sometimes for actors because you slam it out and you have a great time, you think it's funny, and then for whatever reason the movie doesn't come together.
Patrick Wilson
You never want to judge your character.
Patrick Wilson
I think your teenage years define your musical roots forever. You're always looking for a theme for your high school years.
Patrick Wilson
You have to know what you're shooting. Don't just make your movie in the editing room and just get everything you can on the day.
Patrick Wilson
I grew up around media so for me I've always been interested in that topic, whether it's a complete satire or a documentary. I love anything that touches on the state of information versus entertainment and what's newsworthy and what's not.
Patrick Wilson
I am fascinated with religion or things that people believe in and question that. I think it's interesting.
Patrick Wilson
I did have Skidz overalls. Remember Skidz, those baggy plaid pants that look like pajamas? So I did rock overalls, but not in purple velvet. I couldn't find those.
Patrick Wilson
When you shoot a movie so quickly you can't really afford to shoot a bunch of extra footage because you don't have that luxury.
Patrick Wilson
Emasculation does seem to be a theme in the roles that I choose.
Patrick Wilson
Honestly, if you're just going to be the love interest then at least let it be a really good movie. Not every role is going to be Hamlet, I know that.
