But probably my favorite music, believe it or not, is sad music.
Walton Goggins
Image
I've had a great career. I've had a great life. I am truly blessed by my working experiences.
Walton Goggins
Image
I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.

'The Portrait of Dorian Grey' beautifully articulates how the altruistic part of ourselves clashes with our essentially narcissistic state.
Walton Goggins
Image
I'm kind of the funny guy that hopefully kind of wins your heart if I did my job.
Walton Goggins
Image
I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I've gotten to a place where I'm very comfortable with who I am.

Sadly, in this country - maybe this is in the history of the world, really - it's the urban experience versus the bucolic experience. And it is different, but therein lies the slow progression of democracy. We are a melting pot.
Walton Goggins
Image
I have a bit of a bucolic kind of upbringing, and so I certainly bring an amalgamation of different people that I've met over the course of my life, especially before moving to Los Angeles, so I guess my childhood was my homework in a lot of ways for Harlan County.
Walton Goggins
Image
We want to see ourselves reflected in our heroes. Unfortunately most of us don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Walton Goggins
Image
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.

Image
Whenever you show up on a set where you haven't been from the beginning - at least myself - I'm kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds.
Walton Goggins
Image
I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.
Walton Goggins
Image
My heroes are Robert Duvall, Forest Whitaker, Ed Harris, Tommy Lee Jones, Anthony Hopkins and Sean Penn.

The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.
Walton Goggins
Image
You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.
Walton Goggins
Image
I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.
Walton Goggins
Image
No, but there are people I grew up with from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains that would give any person on 'Justified' a run for their money in the scary department.
