Jon Heder Quotations

What we did in our childhoods makes us who we are now.

People usually don't know what we're here to do. They think we're going to be in costume or something.

I think we have a unique voice we really want to get out there.

Just as long as something is gained, a lesson is learned. I do like those. The more quiet victories are always great.

When I was young, I told my sister that she had chunky thighs. She slapped me and I cried. She feels bad about it to this day, but I feel worse.

We just hoped that someone would get it, would like what we could do.

We created Kip and Napoleon from ourselves and from people we knew and experiences we had. It was fun to celebrate the nerd within me.

Normally I avoid movies where the aliens look like humans. It's cheesy.

That's what protagonists do. They work hard, they have a conflict, they overcome the obstacles.

There isn't a sequel in the works. I didn't say there couldn't be one, I just said one isn't in the works.

It was just the adventure of creating this thing that we had hopes and dreams about. When we made 'Napoleon,' it was just that feeling of what was going to happen.

I'm just trying to find more acting jobs, keep busy looking for work,

I always love messing with my own hair as much as I can; I don't normally like to wear wigs.

I think so much of the look, obviously including wardrobe, but the hair is a huge thing because it's basically the frame for your eyes and that's the window to your soul is what they say.

Build a rocket ship and leave the earth!

I loved my childhood. They had the coolest toys back then. Star Wars, Transformers, laser-tag gun sets. Toy companies have really gone downhill.

I just did an ad with Microsoft. I'm dressed as Napoleon, and I get to slap Bill Gates.

Skaters are very much like peacocks.

I relate to most of the characters I play, because I do feel like an outsider.

I never read a self-help book except for the Bible.

I love movin'. I was observant growing up, watching Michael Jackson and John Travolta. I'd close my eyes, see the moves.

I don't have a lot of experience to draw from. I had my first kiss when I was 17 or 18. The second time we kissed I got a little excited and I was wearing these really loose shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination. I tried to angle my body away and divert her eyes by saying, "Hey, look at the stars." From then on I wore tighter jeans.

I want to get up there and tell entertaining stories but that are also to a certain extent clean.

I'm not going chic, I swear. The geek endures. But, I mean, a snazzy cool suit looks good.

I'm not that into reading. If I'm gonna read, I'm gonna read some cool sci-fi book or something, not some stupid self-help book.

Girls kind of get crazy when they have guns. These girls had never done it, and all they wanted to do was inflict as much pain as they could. We had one rule: Don't shoot us between the legs. But their aim didn't necessarily follow that rule.

I've always liked Kate Winslet. She's pretty, smart, and talented.

I don't even have any good skills. You know like nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills!

Just tell them that their wildest dreams will come true if they vote for you.

I don't know if this is advice, but I remember this guy in high school who came off like he'd been with a lot of women. He said, "Dude, what girls sometimes like is the unexpected." There were these girls who were always giving him tittie twisters, and he kept warning them, "I'm going to do it back." I'm thinking, There's no way. But sure enough, one girl crossed the line and he did.

I don't think I ever will do a sex scene because of my religion and my personal standards.

Marriage is all about knowing the ins and outs and the intimate details, and your wife is supposed to be the person you know best. But my brother and I think alike, know everything about one another, and when we get together, we block everything else out. Nothing exists in our world except for us.

I know at some point I would like to take on more dramatic roles.

The disaster definitely freaked me out. I was just thinking, 'We're right here, close to the ocean. Stuff could happen here any day.' And it really did open my eyes on how lucky and blessed I am, and how much I do want to help those people.

(The disaster) definitely freaked me out. (I was) just thinking, 'We're right here, close to the ocean. Man, stuff could happen here any day.' And it really did open my eyes on how lucky and blessed I am, and how much I do want to help those people.
