Anthony Edwards Quotations

You've got to make the most of where you are. Then, when you're somewhere else, you've got to have the ability to fulfill that.

My family had all kinds of complications in relationships. I would like to meet the person who did not. Since when is being absolutely perfect what being a human is? What do we gain from that?

I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.

There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.

I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.

'ER' was so huge that whatever I did coming back to television, I'd have to feel as strongly about.

It's difficult to keep that perspective, I think, as a parent: to know your boundaries as to what's good parenting or just projecting your own expectations on your kids. That's the hardest.

I'm the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it.

I did tons of theater in school, and then when I was 16 and got my driver's license, I started driving to Los Angeles, along with my friend Eric Stoltz, who was a year ahead of me and was doing the same thing. So we had the same manager, and we started auditioning for things and doing commercials when we were 16.

I had this thing about hanging out in dark theaters. My family thought I grew out of a rock.
