More quotes by Walton Goggins
The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.
Walton Goggins
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
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
Tarantino and Jackson is like Scorsese and DeNiro, and their silent communication.
Walton Goggins
I don't take a scene or word for granted.
Walton Goggins
We want to see ourselves reflected in our heroes. Unfortunately most of us don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Walton Goggins
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.
Walton Goggins
You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.
Walton Goggins
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.
Walton Goggins
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'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.
Walton Goggins
Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.
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
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.
Walton Goggins
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.
Walton Goggins
I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.
Walton Goggins
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.
Walton Goggins
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
I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.
Walton Goggins
There is something beautiful and permanent in the world, and that is the love that a person can have for another human being.
Walton Goggins
