More quotes by Thomas Haden Church
I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
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
Cows are a lot smarter across the board than bulls.
Thomas Haden Church
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
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.
Thomas Haden Church
I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie.
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
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 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 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
Look at the Native American culture. They revere the elders.
Thomas Haden Church
I've been a writer longer than I've been an actor. I wrote short stories like crazy when I was in high school and college. I worked in advertising before I moved to L.A. to pursue acting.
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 love knowing that I'm not better than any other person on the planet.
Thomas Haden Church
I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.
Thomas Haden Church
But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.
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
When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.
