Famous quotes by James Spader:

"Celebrity."

"One of the things I like most about doing a television series is that I really don't have any idea what is going to happen, ... I love that."

"He's a very strange guy,"

"felt badly about it in the end."

"The most interesting heroes have a bit of villainy to them, and the most interesting villains have a certain bit of heroism in them, ... I think [Shore] intends to do the right thing, but his view of the world is very different so, to get to the right place, he sometimes takes a path that goes through a very dark forest."

"I had an idea of what David Kelley wanted the character to do, ... He really wanted this very sort of volatile force at this well-established firm on 'The Practice' ... to stir things up."

"I didn't really know much about the character at the time,"

"It is my life,"

"[Kelley] said, 'You know how you will have a friend sometimes who you are very compelled by and who you may love dearly, but they are very difficult to be friends with,'"

"If I don't need the money, I don't work."

"The script is the coloring book that you're given, and your job is to figure out how to color it in. And also when and where to color outside the lines."

"I lost interest in firearms because we had a dog that was scared to death of the sound of a rifle shot."

"Acting is easy and fun. You earn a lot of money, and you bang out with girls. The profession is given tremendous significance within our society, but it's not really worthy of it."

"I think also there's no question that Lincoln has been diluted down through history in some way, almost by becoming as iconic as he is, in a way he's become diluted."

"I think that Barack Obama faces a level of divisiveness, and I don't mean on a national level in terms of the North and the South and the Civil War; I really mean just politically."

"Acting for me, is a passion, but it's also a job, and I've always approached it as such. I have a certain manual-laborist view of acting. There's no shame in taking a film because you need some money."

"Sometimes with people their work is the most important thing to them, and sometimes the work enables you to do other things that are more important to you. I probably am closer to that."

"I'm not eager at all to present my life out there for public consumption. I like to do one or two films a year and then do what is absolutely obligatory in terms of promoting them. My life outside of films is vital to me."

"I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common, walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston."

"Acting is a great way to make a living, especially when I consider what my alternatives were and probably still are. I mean, you are only making movies. It is a lot less pressure than being a surgeon; although it seemed like the only other thing that I was qualified for was manual labour."
