The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Stephen Root
- People are on their computers more than watching TV, because you can only watch voyeur TV, which is basically what reality shows are, for so long.
- You have to remind casting directors out here that you don’t just do one thing. There’s a lot of people who do just one thing.
- I would have to say News Radio is the highlight of my career. I love the character so much.
- It’s easier to play a dim character, for me, because I have a natural bent for comedy. It’s not intrinsic for me to be crafty, so I would have to go outside for a source of origin. I think of myself as pretty dim.
- My goal as an actor was to work – to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn’t even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along.
- Researching real people and doing them, I think, is harder than anything else. You don’t want to do a caricature of them and you don’t want to do an impression. You just want to do the best you can, in terms of presenting their views and a general impression of the guy. That’s the hardest thing to do, real people.
- I don’t aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven’t had a chance to do that.
- I’m more interested in knowing my cues than my lines. If you know what your cues are, then you know what your reaction is going to be to them. Acting is about reacting, and if I can kind of purely react, that’s easier for me.
- It’s fun to do voiceover work, although you still have to act. But it doesn’t involve memorizing lines, and you don’t have to dress up.
- My whole career, I’ve tried to bounce back and forth between everything, and not get typed out. I’ve done a pretty good job of not getting typed.
