Myself, I suffer from loneliness. And I think we all feel alone. I’m looking for stories that help people deal with loneliness and help them if they are monsters: they don’t have to undertake monstrous actions. And maybe they’re not monsters. David Harbour Read Quote
One of the things about having played a lot of villains is… I don’t have the same experience of someone who maybe has been a leading man since they were 22 and therefore looks at certain things in a character to romanticize themselves. I actually very much embrace the bad stuff. David Harbour Read Quote
I feel like the most human among us are the weirdest among us. Those voices can be the most creative and the most special. You look around at your parents, your friends, your aunts and uncles, and you realize nobody is normal. David Harbour Read Quote
Some people get very successful for something they’re very cynical about – like Alec Guinness in ‘Star Wars.’ He thought it was ridiculous. Whereas for me, I’m so proud of ‘Stranger Things.’ I’m so proud of everyone’s work in it. And it’s become so successful. So for those two to meet is incredible. David Harbour Read Quote
I think that storytelling, at its essence, allows us to feel like we all suffer the same insanity or a similar insanity of existence: that nobody escapes scot-free. We’re all going to wind up – at the best-case scenario – 80, 85, 90, broken, in pain, and feeling like it was all a dream and not really understanding the point of any of it. David Harbour Read Quote
People who are deep thinkers, who have sort of a weird way of looking at the universe, are wildly attractive to me. David Harbour Read Quote
If you want to really get in shape and get strong, there’s these things called ‘sleds.’ You take a weighted sled, and you just push it across the floor, and then you drag it back. And, basically, if you do that for 20 minutes a day, you’ll look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you put enough weight on it, it’s the hardest thing in the world. David Harbour Read Quote
