I know when an actor goes in to audition, if they don’t get the part, it’s not because they’re a bad actor at all; it’s because it’s not quite the right fit. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
One day, I woke up, and I was on CBS in front of millions of people, and I’m like, ‘Oh man, I don’t know anything.’ The only thing I’d ever technically studied was filmmaking. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
When I watch movies – when I watch ‘Star Wars’ – you want to watch the fun characters, the diversions. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
I never imagined I would have one fan, and there seems to be a few. I just couldn’t be happier that people seem to like what I’m doing and seem to respond to it. If they weren’t there, I don’t know what I’d be doing right now. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
I think I veered towards filmmaking because there’s more of a sense of control in it. You’re not waiting to be picked. That said, in film school I acted in probably 6,000 student films because no other filmmakers knew anyone who wanted to act. It was all a big beautiful snake eating its tail, progressing along the way. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
A fantastic actor in a scene that’s just closed off will be good. But when working with a director who knows little tricks – correct music, slowly pushing in – that stunning performance will somehow become even better. I’ve always seen it as a symbiotic relationship. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
I just love entertaining. I will do anything – stand-up comedy, video games, fencing, internet shorts – I just want to keep being lucky enough to entertain people anyway I can. I try never to limit my art to a medium. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
I get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I’ll, like, die. So throughout my life I’ve always tried to remain busy, and I sort of know no other way. I think if my heart rate slowed it would affect my constitution, strangely. I’ve been trained to do that. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
I’ve had this unbelievable amount of good fortune and I’m just so thankful for it. But at the same time I feel exceptionally guilty. I have so many friends who are talented graduates of Juilliard and are exceptional actors and I’m the lucky one that somehow got such a fortunate break. Matthew Gray Gubler Read Quote
