When I first joined SAG, there was another John Reilly. My dad was John Reilly, too, but growing up I was John John. Nobody in life calls me John C. It's more like, 'Hey you, Step Brother!'

This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.

A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you're going to say is.

I was never a very dependable employee for anything. Perfect for the actor's life!

There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on earth but not quite.

Being unprepared makes me nervous. I'm old-fashioned show folk.

I don't know who I am, to tell you the truth.

I find people attractive for more subtle reasons than just the way they look.

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.

Acting's all about the confidence you exude, especially on film. I mean, nervousness isn't attractive in anyone, but a film camera will seek it out and punish you.

I love that people can't place me. They don't know my name. That's 'mission accomplished' in my world.

The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to.

The prophecy has come true! You put the sea salt in the soup...You are the one!

The book is that is the good one is Woodsong and we are trying to finish it.

It is when those who are not strong enough have made some moderate amount of progress that they fail and give up.

So I just always drew. But never took that as a career path. I ended up in the computer business, and found myself as the vice president of sales and marketing for a computer accessories company.

Trust in your own untried capacity.

I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.

Consistent prayer is the desire to do right.

If I obey Jesus Christ in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God.

Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.
