Jack Black's quotes

[on filming the love scene in Shallow Hal (2001)] It was just strictly professional. It was like a doctor or a carpenter plying his trade. I received no pleasure whatsoever... I requested 32 takes for the perfection of the craft.
[on co-starring with Gwyneth Paltrow for the first time in Shallow Hal (2001)] You know, I WAS a little afraid that she would fall head-over-heels in love with me, like she did [when co-starring] with Brad Pitt in Seven (1995).
I'd just like to be in films that I would like to see. I think of myself as an entertainment arsenal. Like I have my acting bazooka and my music machete. And you don't know what I'm going to come at you with.
I was a little worried about working with kids. I wanted to make sure we didn't approach it tip-toeing around the stuff that would normally be funny, or make it gentle, rock-a-bye-baby bullshit.
I'm no Matt Damon, my goal was to be a character actor. I never thought I would get leads the way that I've been able to in the past two years.
I'm hungry for rock 24/7.
The movie This Is Spinal Tap (1984) rocked my world. It's for rock what The Sound of Music (1965) was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be.
I'd rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools.
There's nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you're gonna eat it.
You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned The Pink Panther (1963) theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now, my music has to have some rock.
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they COULD be a distant runner up to The D.
[when asked about his cooking skills] I make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
[on Shallow Hal (2001)] I wasn't proud of it, and I got paid a lot of money, so in retrospect it feels like a sell-out.
Nobody cares about my babies. It's all about Angelina [Jolie]'s babies.
I said I named the baby after me. I didn't say that my actual name is Thomas.
I like to improv. If I'm not feeling a scene down to Po's panda bones, I'll just keep tweaking it.
