Justin Long Quotations

So I made a request. I said to the writers, I have a minor request that I just want to play a loser.

I can't even go watch a football game,

I can tell you this for sure, it was when I played baseball in high school and I was in the outfield and I would literally pray to God - I'm not joking, I'd pray to God not to let the ball come to me. I was so bad, I was just terrible. I played soccer - I was the goalie. I would pray to God it didn't get kicked anywhere near me. I was an awful athlete.

I went there to try to defuse the situation.

We really worked on our interoperability, which can only strengthen maritime security in the region.

Except for one bad decision, I had a model career here. Now they (his ex-Blue Hen teammates) are going into (preseason) camp and what can I do? It's a done deal.

I waited tables for about a year; I was terrible at it, ... The only thing that I could have done to be a worse waiter would be to actually have like peed in front of people, like on them while they were trying to eat. It was at that level.

And that's been the challenge, making the fear real.

The Britney Spears movie was just fun and light, but let's talk about that in a few months.

I never got in any trouble before and this was my fourth year being here. I was wrong in what I did, but I feel I should have been allowed to stay in school.

If people don't care about us as brother and sister, the movie won't matter,

I don't know if we ever did behind-the-scenes stuff, ... We would always show each other our genitals, but we wouldn't make a game about it. It was more like, 'Hey, what's up? Here I am.'

When you hear a famous voice, sometimes that takes me out of the movie.

What I enjoy most about doing voiceovers is that you can be completely unconscious with the rest of your body and just concentrate on doing something with your voice, creating an entire character with your voice.

It's definitely surreal to watch yourself in a movie.

Guys like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sam Rockwell are the guys I look up to and have the kind of career Id like to emulate.

I loved 'Junebug.' It was one of my favorite films, my favorite type of film.

I always wanted to play the boyfriends of doomed girls.

I loved the opportunity to just transform my voice. I loved the idea of doing impressions and mimicking and playing around with the spectrum of your own voice. That's what I enjoy most about doing voice-overs.

I really hated school and so I just wanted to stay home and watch 'I Love Lucy' and watch the movies that inspired me to the point where we are sitting here.

I have such thin skin, so I make a concerted effort to avoid reading anything about myself.

Aside from my love of animation, as an actor I like the total lack of vanity in terms of not having to worry at all about your appearance. You don't have to deal with hair or makeup or wardrobe.

I would feel so guilty about lying that I would try to stress myself out and work up a headache so I wouldn't have the guilt of not having a bit of the symptom.

If I had been egotistical about the movies, I have been brought back to earth.

I had been thinking for a while about how bored and tired I was of playing straight-down-the-middle everymanish characters that have what I call white guy problems. And I missed playing characters who lacked dignity and more importantly, lacked social skills.

I've never been that technologically savvy, my friends are actually amused by how infrequently I use computers.

If you can measure success in this business based on happiness alone I feel like I've hit the lottery.

Nine out of 10 people who recognize me recognize me from the commercials.

People who haven't done commercials, don't appreciate how hard it is.

It's so easy to misuse social media as a dating tool. I think it can be useful but it's scary when you think about who can access this information and what they're doing with it.

I love doing voiceover work. I started doing voiceover work when I had just dropped out of school, and the first few professional jobs I got were plays, but then I started making money doing voice-overs.

That got thrown out of court are what got me thrown out of school.

I did as many takes as I could, naked from the waist down, ... If I was framed from anywhere above the waist, I would always just like to hang it out.

As I've gotten older and seen people around me evolving and moving on with life, I just have a stronger sense of my own mortality and time itself becomes more precious. I don't want to spend this precious and limited time on things that don't necessarily bring me happiness.

I just didn't like going to school.

I've always been proud of the fact that I can hold it together and I rarely break. It's a point of pride for me.

I look like a geeky hacker, but I don't know anything about computers.
