James Woods's quotes
- Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.
- "I love George W. Bush right now - and I always have! I'm the only guy in L.A. who voted for him" (January 2002).
- [on Oliver Stone] An artist whose vision transcends politics. And his passion isn't bogus - he doesn't play "Imagine" at the end of Platoon (1986) to break people's hearts.
- I just like to pick things that are just different, challenging and that maybe people wouldn't expect me to do or that I wouldn't have done before.
- Shark (2006) came at a time when I didn't really need the work at all. I didn't take it for the money. I live a very modest life. I don't want a private jet. I'm just a non-material guy.
- I'm cautious of people who are too charming. Charming people can be dangerous - my alarm goes off immediately.
- [2005] I can honestly say that I'm in a business where I would happily have worked for free every day of my life.
- Oliver Stone was pretty much going to offer me Wall Street (1987), but I was committed to doing Cop (1988). He said, "Don't be silly, go and do Wall Street", and I told him I was going to do Cop. You know, could have been a mistake! But I have no regrets.
- The '80s period was some of the greatest filmmaking ever, and a lot of those films are lost forever.
