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.

Success in TV-showmaking is just a matter of being authentic and doing the best you can, and you hope that people watch it and like it. For us [showmakers], we know where our bread is buttered, and we live by the written word of the critic. That's how shows build a critical mass on cable.

Walton Goggins
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.
Walton Goggins
I really enjoy what I do, and I'm very grateful to be given an opportunity to do it. That's one thing that people can say about me.
Walton Goggins
I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that.
Walton Goggins
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
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.
Walton Goggins
I still live my life the way that I want to live it, and people are very respectful of my space, but they also want to chat, and I quite like chatting.
Walton Goggins
You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.
