Quotes by Daniel Gillies
I will say that the food in both Japan and Italy was immaculate. I don’t remember having bad food in either country.
I’m not George Clooney, so I can’t just pick and choose. I take roles where they occur.
Kevin Smith is so great in ‘Kingdom Come,’ isn’t he? He’s kind of this very earthy poet. He just has this immediate gregariousness, like, you kind of just want to be his pal.
As lovely as people are to me about my performance, I’m still a huge critic. I like very little of what I ever do.
We're living in a time where movies are very unimportant. They're not leaving a footprint on your heart. We're going to the movies now and we're going, "Oh, man, that was cool! That was thrilling! That was a ride!" But, we're not walking away anymore thinking, "I just experienced something that could change the way I live."
People never regret when they come out of a movie and they've been crying. I think people need it. That's why people have the theater and live music, which is dwindling as well. I think people like to go see things and have an emotional, transcendent, universal human experience, but so often we're like, "Let's go watch Green Lantern," which we all know is just not going to do anything for our souls.
