The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Michael Rooker
- I think all the roles I’ve done have been very passionate people who go to absolute extremes to make their points.
- I did ‘Slither,’ so I’ve done seven hours in the makeup chair. So two hours for zombie makeup is like nothing. That’s a walk in the park for me. When you do seven-hour makeup and then eight hours of work, you’re thinking, ‘Oh God, what did this do to me?’ You’re under that rubber forever. It’s crazy.
- Horror fans need horror, okay? They don’t need little worms squirming around going down your throat. To them, that’s not horror.
- I don’t approach a role by saying I’ll be unsavory or unlikable.
- ‘Cliffhanger’ got me in the best shape of my life, working at 10,000 feet up in the mountains. And everybody was great. I lived in Italy for seven months doing that movie. It was a great vacation.
- I got my training here in Chicago at the Goodman School Of Drama, and a lot of my personal work is usually internal work and stuff. Everything else that goes on is icing on the cake – your wardrobe, your makeup, whatever else you have to do.
- I learned how to turn it on and turn it off. You learn that in theater, too, but for film work, I learned from doing ‘Henry,’ I learned how to leave work at work and go home. There’s always spillover. Actors speak of this.
- When you think of it I haven’t really done a lot of horror. It’s amazing: I have done some really good ones, but I haven’t done a lot of them.
- You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.
- ‘Night of the Living Dead’ is one of my favorites.
