Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.
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
I love knowing that I'm not better than any other person on the planet.
Thomas Haden Church
But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.
Thomas Haden Church
I have a healthy sense of vanity. I like to look good for myself, which is what a lot of women say. I want to stay fit.
Thomas Haden Church
Villains with a conscience have this sad realization of who they are, and the monster they've become — there's a sense of regret. So at the end of these movies there's a dramatic resonance that really stays with the audience.
Thomas Haden Church
I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need.
Thomas Haden Church

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
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
I've been an admirer of Helen Mirren for a long time. As I get older, I find myself admiring older women who have poise and elegance.
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
I've never been married, and I've never been divorced. But I have had some very serious relationships. I was engaged twice. The way that those relationships ended, it was very very heartbreaking.
Thomas Haden Church
If you are truly fearless as a performer, than you don't fear kids or dogs.
Thomas Haden Church
I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever.
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
One that always stings is Grow up. And it stings most when you have the suspicion that it is justified, that you have just done somethingchildish and you got nailed for it. It's probably been said to me a few times.
Thomas Haden Church
