D. B. Sweeney Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von D. B. Sweeney:

More is asked of you on stage. It's no way to make a living. But it's like a bullfight. You find out who can do it and who can't.

Why should a filmmaker turn over the irreplaceable asset, the movie, to a distribution center?

D. B. Sweeney

I'm a huge baseball fan and follow it very closely.

D. B. Sweeney

I wanted to play this part: the goofy rock and roller who can't hang up his guitar when it's clear to everyone else that he should.

D. B. Sweeney

I don't play the bass. I'm not in a band. I tried to think of ways I could touch base with the troops and support what we're doing.

D. B. Sweeney

I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network's attention - to break through... So maybe you push a little further in the first show.

D. B. Sweeney

I try to have a normal life since I have an abnormal job.

D. B. Sweeney

More is asked of you on stage. It's no way to make a living. But it's like a bullfight. You find out who can do it and who can't.

D. B. Sweeney

If you skate with an Olympic level skater, they make you so much better because you're skating behind them, and you're trying to imitate their stride and their stance. It's like having the world's greatest training wheels.

D. B. Sweeney

I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.

D. B. Sweeney

The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.

D. B. Sweeney

I know some black actresses who have to wait every 19 films for a role. I can be cast in practically every one as a young white male.

D. B. Sweeney

I don't know; it's hard for me to understand people that want to get out there and protest on the first day we elect a new guy.

D. B. Sweeney

What I've learned is sometimes it's good not to have all the same actions and have all the same takes. The variety you provide gives the director later on in post-production the ability to construct a more interesting performance as he puts the movie together.

D. B. Sweeney

When you play on a team, you learn that there will always be five guys you like, a bunch of guys who are OK, and five you despise. The trick to getting along in any system is not to worry about the five you despise.

D. B. Sweeney

Say something personal, not from a publicist.

D. B. Sweeney

I've seen people who stink, but the film editor shows them just where they didn't stink. But if you're empty and manipulative on stage, it's clear.

D. B. Sweeney

Romantic comedies are particularly hard to make.

D. B. Sweeney

When you do a play, or even a movie, you have weeks to finesse your character. You really understand why they do what they do. In TV, you get new material weekly about your character.

D. B. Sweeney

I'd love to do a movie like 'Bullitt.'

D. B. Sweeney

I have never been one of those actors who say, 'Oh, my character wouldn't do this,' or 'My character never wears an orange shirt,' or any of the number of inane things I've heard on movie sets throughout my career.

D. B. Sweeney

Skating is tough to pick up when you are a grown up.

D. B. Sweeney

I'm so proud and honored to have been in 'Lonesome Dove' and 'Eight Men Out.' How come I'm not known for one of those?

D. B. Sweeney

To anybody who says to me, 'I'm in character,' I say, 'You should be in an asylum.' If you don't know that you're pretending, then you should really seek medical help. I don't have patience for that stuff.

D. B. Sweeney

I got to be good friends with Scott Hamilton.

D. B. Sweeney

DeNiro did a good job playing a catcher in 'Bang the Drum Slowly,' but he's great in everything he does.

D. B. Sweeney

The more I learned about Shoeless Joe, the more I felt he was maligned.

D. B. Sweeney

Joe Jackson was a tragic figure. He was a serene country boy who signed a confession he couldn't read. He was illiterate.

D. B. Sweeney

I bat righty.

D. B. Sweeney

If I'm not going to bet on myself, why would anyone else bet on me.

D. B. Sweeney

I didn't want people to think I'm just in the movies, where you make money and wait around for 13 hours before you get to do 20 minutes of work.

D. B. Sweeney

I'm sure that President Trump will do plenty of things that people don't like, plenty of things people do like, and the people who don't like it, at that point, certainly take advantage of your rights and protest it - and try to seek change or do whatever you want.

D. B. Sweeney

I had heard that Robert Duvall was interested in doing 'Lonesome Dove,' and he's one of those actors with whom I'd work on any project. So I tracked down the script and started to bug the producer, Dyson Lovell, to get in there.

D. B. Sweeney

I love Vanna White as much as the next guy.

D. B. Sweeney

You have to identify your shot and be 'Push your luck' ready for it.
