Jeffrey Jones's Quotes

  • My intentions as an actor are always to make whatever I'm doing work. I look for the piece to be good as a whole and then, hopefully, to have something good for myself as an actor. I've always been intent on giving to both the project and myself.
  • I didn't so much learn how to act at the London Academy as I did about speech, movement and how to relax. Their attitude was that the acting was basically up to you.
  • I don't think I have a particular style or acting technique. What I think I have is the ability to fiddle with my own character and make it do different things.
  • [on the critical and commercial failure of Howard the Duck (1986)] There's no point in worrying what you've just done. What you've done is done. I'm proud of it and I'm happy with my part in it. Onto the next.
