The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.

I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We're supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we'll truly need it and we won't spill a drop. It's about being present.

I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

When you get the call from Quentin Tarantino, it's the call of a lifetime. You don't allow yourself to be vulnerable enough or to be fool enough to expect that phone call to happen, in reality.

I'm not good at telling a joke, but I can say a line in a certain way that makes people uncomfortable because they don't know whether to laugh or not, and I love that comedy.

I hate to use this as a metaphor, but making movies is kind of like going to war. It's not - but the stamina required and what it takes to tell a story that is this big in scope, you need a general that will bring out the best in you.

I find that I have no problem getting a table at a restaurant when I walk in.

Art is not created in a vacuum. That experience is something to be shared with a group of people, and to be moved in that way.

Image
For violent people to make themselves vulnerable, and then to have that vulnerability be used against them, bad things can happen.
Walton Goggins
Image
I think I've made a career out of making despicable people likable.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

'The Portrait of Dorian Grey' beautifully articulates how the altruistic part of ourselves clashes with our essentially narcissistic state.
Walton Goggins
Image
We want to see ourselves reflected in our heroes. Unfortunately most of us don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

You can go to a history class with one teacher and want to stick a pencil in your throat, and then go to another teacher who is able to contextualize it or deliver the message in a way that you're riveted.

I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.
Walton Goggins
Image
Acting is a child's game. It's your willingness to suspend one reality and substitute it for another. That reality lives and breathes in your imagination. The actors that I want to be like exercise that way of thinking, and that's kind of what I do.

I never fancied myself having a prejudice towards people with tattoos. I personally don't have any and I don't think that I do, but I do see that people treat me differently with tattoos. People get out of my way.

As an actor, you're afforded these experiences that are once-in-a-lifetime for so many people. More often than not, you can't tell the seasons based on the changing of the leaves, but on the experiences you've had.

I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.
