The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Michael Shannon
- I’m just kind of odd. There are dark forces in the world, and if you pay attention to what’s going on around you, you end up incorporating it into the storytelling. Maybe it’s some aspect of myself that’s coming through that people are seeing, that I am in fact a quiet psycho.
- One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that’s something I figured out pretty early on.
- If I were God, I would just be up there scratching my head, thinking, ‘What the hell am I supposed to do with this?’ For everyone helping an old lady across the street, there’s someone else bludgeoning a person to death. And sometimes they’re the same. How can He separate us all out?
- There are certain ways of being that people don’t find acceptable or very pleasant in regular life, but you go out on stage and do pretty much the same thing and they find it spellbinding.
- You can’t escape this feeling of disintegration. The world is fragile. But you also can’t let it ruin your life. I’m actually a pretty composed person. I guess people imagine I spend my life thinking about crazy, sinister things but I don’t, really. It’s not like I’m trying to exorcise any demons.
- I think if you watch a lot of what I do, you’re going to ultimately walk away seeing me. I can’t hide – that impression is a personal impression people have of me.
- I know this’ll sound obnoxious, but acting was very much an accident for me. I didn’t have, like, posters of Marlon Brando in my bedroom when I was growing up.
- Honestly, as hard a profession as acting is, I think music is even harder. Acting, you’re like a leech, because someone else does the hard part for you. They write it for you, then the director tells you what to do. You really just need to know how to pay attention, follow instructions.
- I like to play characters that get to do it all – to have a bit of comedy here and a bit of pathos here and a bit of suspense here, that’s what’s fun.
- I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble.
