Brion James Quotes

Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew?

I could talk about Blade Runner forever.

I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do.

I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.

I liked the drama of getting stoned.

I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.

I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.

I prayed to God for help and I put myself in a recovery house called Studio 12. It was for people in the business and you didn't have to have any money to go, which was good because I was broke.

I still do television. I don't care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.

I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does. So, I don't want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don't.

I'm a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it.

I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood.

I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one.

In the '70s, everybody was doing drugs, so long as you showed up and did your work, they'd use you until you died.

Larry Kasdan is a great director.

My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.

My whole deal when I do accents or dialects is I gotta fool the locals. If I fool the locals then I've done my job.

Producing is nothing more than bringing all the elements together, connecting people.

Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
