Bruce Dern's Quotes

  • Because I'm the only actor who ever killed John Wayne in a picture, producers have pegged me for a villain.
  • I've played more psychotics and freaks and dopers than anyone.
  • [on his fight scene with John Wayne] He walloped me bad.
  • I never look back and say, "I wish I had played that role or this role". I never do that. You're only as good as your next film. I look forward; I always feel that you have to continue onward and upward, you can't look back. I became an actor because I felt I was interested in what makes human beings do what they do, particularly in times of crisis. That kind of acting is what I like to do.
  • I'm only too proud to say that I've never had ANY discipline problems with Laura [Laura Dern, his daughter]. In fact, I never needed to lay a hand on her, because Diane [Diane Ladd, his former wife and Laura's mother] was so much better at keeping her in line than I was.
