Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew?
Brion James
I could talk about Blade Runner forever.
Brion James
I couldn't say no to jobs and I couldn't say no to drugs. I'd get high from a movie, I'd be somebody else because I didn't particularly like me, so long as I had a script in my hand, I was okay. As soon as the movie was over, I didn't know what to do.
Brion James
I did 125 films, and over 100 television shows, and you've never seen the same character twice.
Brion James
I liked the drama of getting stoned.
Brion James
I never play a villain that I don't have something I can either do or say so the audience sees there is something redeemable about them. In other words, I don't want to do evil for evil's sake. I don't want to do Jason slasher movies. There's no point in that.
Brion James
I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.
Brion James
I prayed to God for help and I put myself in a recovery house called Studio 12. It was for people in the business and you didn't have to have any money to go, which was good because I was broke.
Brion James
I still do television. I don't care. I just want to work. I love to work. I want to do 500 movies.
Brion James
I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.
Brion James
I'm a character actor, so I don't take the hit if the movie's bad, the lead does. So, I don't want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don't.
Brion James
I'm a parrot. I can pick up an accent and just do it.
Brion James
I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood.
Brion James
I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one.
Brion James
In the '70s, everybody was doing drugs, so long as you showed up and did your work, they'd use you until you died.
Brion James
Larry Kasdan is a great director.
Brion James
My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.
Brion James
My whole deal when I do accents or dialects is I gotta fool the locals. If I fool the locals then I've done my job.
Brion James
Producing is nothing more than bringing all the elements together, connecting people.
Brion James
Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
