You never get tired of making...

You never get tired of making money, and you never get tired of a great acting gig, a same role that you can play for years, with wonderful writing and wonderful actors.

I'm a huge, huge sports fan. A massive sports fan.

I had one really memorable line. It was all the words you're not allowed to say on the airwaves, so it's one long list of swear words. I knew it anyway, because I was a huge George Carlin fan.

Some friends of mine in the class ahead of me in college were auditioning for graduate school in New York, and then a few of them got into Juilliard, and it sort of opened my eyes. I didn't really know anything about it, but it opened my eyes to a possible next step after school, where I could just deepen my knowledge and also not be responsible for life and stay in school.

I'm frankly shocked that Hollywood hasn't called me to do a superhero.

Sports and politics are basic...

Sports and politics are basically all I really care about or talk about.

Every actor wants to do more,...

Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.

We walked out of this library...

We walked out of this library building downtown, just on our way to lunch, and I was walking a few steps behind Travolta, and when he opened the door, it was as if Jesus had just walked out into the commons.

I wound up auditioning, wound...

I wound up auditioning, wound up getting in, and I was off to the races: I was putting in four more years after school to train to be an actor. I was 26 years old, and I still had a locker, for Christ's sake!

Bradley Cooper was an asshole...

Bradley Cooper was an asshole, but he was - like Sidney Lumet, like George Clooney - the nicest guy in the world. I sound like the biggest ass-kisser ever. But I'm telling the truth, I swear to God!

Path To War was the last thin...

Path To War was the last thing that John Frankenheimer directed, I think, before he died. I'm a huge U.S. history buff, and I studied the Vietnam era in college, so when I read the script, I was, like, "I really want to be in this thing so badly..."

If you do an episode about so...

If you do an episode about something like transverse myelitis, it's a real disease that's out there, there are a lot of people that have it, and it's hard to get funding for them because people don't know about it. There are actually a lot of doctors that don't know about it. But if you do an episode of House, all of a sudden 15 million people are hearing the words, and it's an opportunity.

Every actor wants to know in ...

Every actor wants to know in different ways. Some like to know everything. Some don't want to know anything. I think I land somewhere in the middle.

Peter Jacobson 51 quotes

I think if I learned anything...

I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool.

Woody Allen, that was a dream...

Woody Allen, that was a dream come true, although I never really talked to him. Auditioning was fun, because you don't really hear much about the script. They just said, "They want a Woody Allen type," so of course I got the call.

Why things get canceled or no...

Why things get canceled or not is so unbelievably out of actors' hands that it's one of those things where you've just got to ride with it.

I sat next to Robert Duvall at the lawyers' table for six weeks, and it's still probably the best six weeks of my life.

I really had spent my whole life playing soccer, and the fact that I was willing to give that up for theater, that told me I was moving in that direction.

I've never done real sci-fi. ...

I've never done real sci-fi. I've never played an alien. I've never played some sort of superhero. Which I'd love to do!

Peter Jacobson 51 quotes

People would stop me in the s...

People would stop me in the street - my demographic tends to be the elderly Jewish women from Miami; I think they tend to fancy me as someone that would've been good with their daughter or something - and a lot of them will do the wrist-slapping thing. "Oh, you're a terrible man! Just terrible!" And I'm, like, "Well, it's just a show. I'm just playing a character."
