If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

Improv is not something I had a lot of experience with, because for a long time, my only experience in front of a camera was all television, which is pretty rigid script-wise, except for the occasional scene where you toss in an ad-lib just to elongate something.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

You don't really have time to ...

You don't really have time to do other than what's written. It's very rigid. Shows have a certain rhythm that nobody wants disturbed. So a lot of that doesn't take place on television, at least the television I was doing at the time when I first started.

You make the choice. You look ...

You make the choice. You look at each scene and you make sure that this is not a person deceiving people.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

Part of you wants to look over...

Part of you wants to look over at the people watching and say, 'Not bad, huh? Me and Clint Eastwood.' But you have to get past that and just be an actor.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

Clint Eastwood is a very soft-spoken, humble guy, actually, which helped put somebody like me at ease, who had never worked with somebody as huge as that. I'm sure that's not always the case with legendary people.

A show that's been successful ...

A show that's been successful that been on a while, chances are it's going to stay that way. At least it's going to maintain some kind of standard. But when a show begins, there's no telling. Even after 13 shows or a whole year, you don't know what will become of it.

The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.

Gary Cole 64 quotes

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.

You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.

I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

Then, at some point, you get identified with certain things.
