The top 10 most inspiring quotes by John C. Reilly

  • I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.
  • There’s something about the water – that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite.
  • If people want to see me in comedies, that’s fine with me.
  • A script is like a theory of a movie.
  • When they’re good, I like working with new actors.
  • I was a founding member of the ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ club at my high school. I was in chorus, I was in swing choir. I was an outcast but I was an outcast among a group of outcasts.
  • I’m dating myself by saying this, but I was the test audience for ‘Space Invaders.’ I remember when that was the first game that wasn’t a pinball game. I spent a lot of money on ‘Space Invaders,’ in the form of quarters, of course.
  • I love that people can’t place me. They don’t know my name. That’s ‘mission accomplished’ in my world.
  • For a long time, it was like I was part of some special forces unit: I’d land, meet everyone, five minutes later I’d have to do some amazing work, then – boom! – I’m out again. You know, playing supporting parts takes courage.
  • There are a lot of actors in the world, there’s a small number that actually get to work as actors, and there is a tiny group of actors that are celebrated in the way that I have been. I feel incredibly lucky.
