Jeff Goldblum (pronounced: Goldbloooom)
Born: October 22nd, 1952
I recently watched The Fly which reminded me how much I love this strangely sexy actor who loves to ramble..
(On being a sweet & decent guy) “It’s OK. I don’t mind being, you know to try and subordinate my moods, and reflexes and impulses sometimes and have to be sweet descent and nice, I don’t think that’s a bad thing, especially I don’t think I would have that if I didn’t have acting as an outlet, because acting asks you demands you and allows you to be reactive passionate all of yourself, your authentic self in fact your more naked self, your enraged self, your jerky self, your self, its a great outlet so in life if we have to be, you don’t want to be phony, but its not a bad idea to have to sidestep your negativity, to count to ten sometimes do the right thing be sweet to people figure out what you can do to to contribute in a situation, and that’s not a bad thing.”
“Not to mention life, which continues to be a challenge, and which I continue to try and get better at.”
(On being a successful actor) ” It’s been fun, obviously if you want to be an actor and you think of being successful you always thought that would go along with it, I never thought that was a horrible thing, in fact I’ve enjoyed it, it’s a sweet thing you feel on most encounters, like it’s an amazing rare thing that you feel connected to people in a way you’re not strangers, you’re not bumping into people and they go hey! They’re going hey it’s you and I’m glad to see you and I like you, and that’s a delicious wonderful thing for the most part, it gives you a sense of responsibility so you can’t misbehave without being talked about, you know people are going to say, “You know who was a real jerk today? Jeff Goldblum!”, so you got to be, but that’s a good thing, if we all knew we were going to be reported about and couldn’t be anonymous that’s not a bad thing, but sometimes you can’t exactly, sometimes you want to be private, and it can be embarrassing, or not so nice, but for the most part it’s great.”
“At its best, life is surprising. Maybe, because that’s my appetite, the frontier is uncharted. But it suits me fine. I’ve gotten used to that. Some people couldn’t bear it, but I like that life.”
