Nothing is set up like a comedy bit. I did sitcoms for 10 years. Literally from 1989 to 1999. That's almost all I did. Whenever I got away from television I was like, Phew, thank God that's over. I am never going back.

I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need.

Thomas Haden Church
I don't want my hair to be ridiculous. But in Texas I do wear a hat a lot, so I probably have hat-head more than I'm aware of.
Thomas Haden Church
I hate it when women fight aging with plastic surgery or fashion choices. There's this arrogant youth worship in our society.
Thomas Haden Church
But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.
Thomas Haden Church
Children from like 8 and even up to the college age - Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark - they process information so quickly and it's not because of attention deficit or short attention span.
Thomas Haden Church
But I certainly know a lot of people that existed at that level and are always kind of pining for more, always thinking that the next big break, the next opportunity, the big role are just around the corner of the next audition.
Thomas Haden Church
And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.
Thomas Haden Church
When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.
Thomas Haden Church
I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.
Thomas Haden Church
Cows are a lot smarter across the board than bulls.
Thomas Haden Church
Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.
