Scott Glenn quotes:

I often give my wife Carol scripts I'm offered and want her opinion - because she's a really smart lady, and she's got nothing to do with this business, so I get the audience's point of view.

I'm not a comic book guy. I've never been to Comic-Con. I don't know anything about that. It's a whole different world.

Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished.

I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.

I had a job on a newspaper in Wisconsin, and I started off as most reporters did back then: writing obits and free ad giveaways.

The full extent of the problem of hunger is not obvious to most of us. We see the homeless, but there are a great number of working poor, struggling to survive, who don't have enough money to put adequate food on the table. We must find a solution to this ever-increasing problem - and quickly.

The hard part about playing 'chicken' is knowing when to flinch.

You can't expect a man like me to be loyal to just one woman.

I never felt like I was on solid ground, emotionally.

If you're going to be in a series and it has commercial breaks... People say, "Oh, there's a difference between cable and network," and my response to that is, "No, there's a difference between sponsored and not sponsored." That's the thing.

I'm way more comfortable around kids than I am people my own age.

My metaphor for acting in movies - not on stage because it's completely different on stage - is to put colors on an easel for the director to paint his own painting with in the editing room, long after I've left. You buy me for red and black, so I better give you really great red and black, but if I can give you purple, pink, green and brown too, I will.

They say God looks after kids and idiots, and I think actors are probably a combination of the two.
