Jeff Daniels

“The challenge is not to be perfect... it's to be whole.”

“For an actor, the best thing you can do is to be a blank canvas.”

“The only thing dumber than a Democrat or a Republican is when they are refusing to talk to each other.”

“I feel like my career has been a series of trying to get out of the box.”

“What do you do with the fear? You use it. You go out there and you kick its ass.”

“You just have to keep moving forward. You just have to keep doing something, seizing the next opportunity, staying open to new ideas.”

“I've been fortunate to work with some of the best in the business. That's what you want. You want to be on the A-team.”

“That's what theater is: it's a conversation. And you have to have a conversation with the audience.”

“I don't think you ever stop learning. I don't think you ever get it all figured out.”

“You're only as good as the people you're working with.”

“I'm from Michigan, and I'm a real person. I'm not Hollywood.”

“The older you get, the more you realize that kindness is a superpower.”

“What's great about the theater is that you have a crash course in storytelling.”

“There's a freedom in comedy, but there's also a great amount of discipline you have to have to make it work.”

“The key to good acting is to be unafraid to be a fool.”
