Jason Patric Quotations

When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.

It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.

If I was coming into the business today, I wouldn't be in it. Knowing what I know, absolutely not.

I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

I made three movies in 1995 and I was unhappy with all of them: Sleepers, Incognito, and Speed 2.

I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.
