The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Doug Jones
- When you’re on camera, even though you try to lose yourself in the character, you are aware that there is a camera there capturing every moment of it visually. With doing a voiceover job, you are worried about the sound of it, and you have to make all those visual colors come out with your sound.
- That’s what I love about geeks, that they can call themselves a geek and be proud of it. I love that. I even have a necklace with the word ‘geek’ spelled out in rhinestones, and I’m very proud, myself.
- I’m a very happy-go-lucky lover of all mankind as a person in real life. So when I play a darker character, I have to tap into something that isn’t my natural way, and what I found was that I think human beings have the potential for all of these emotions.
- My wife and I have never been able to have kids of our own. Physically, it’s impossible. The doctor checked. So we tend to unofficially adopt lots of twenty-somethings. I have a real soft spot in my heart for youth.
- I learned mime back when I was in college, at Ball State University, Indiana. That woke up my body from the neck down and made me realize that acting and communication – portraying a story, event, or emotion – is a full-body experience.
- People who know your work and know your personality, they know your strengths and weaknesses. A director like Guillermo del Toro, he knows more about me than I do. I trust him when he tells me what part I’m going to be playing in something, because he’s envisioned that that can only be done by me. He knows it.
- When I came out to Hollywood in 1985, I thought that I would be sitcom star. I’m a tall, skinny, goofy guy. I thought that I would make a great funny neighbor, or wacky office mate, in a sitcom.
- I’ve never hidden my Christianity in Hollywood, and I’ve been handled respectfully because I handle the issue and other people respectfully.
- The gaming world is a complete mystery to me! Well, I did play Pac Man and Frogger using big machines at an arcade back in the ’80s.
- My favorite thing to pass the time in the makeup chair is YouTube videos of talking cats. I don’t know why, but they make me laugh.
