Campbell Scott

“I'm not interested in being a celebrity. I'm interested in being an actor.”

“The independent film world is a world of its own. It's a different beast. You're not just a cog in a machine.”

“I always just want to do a good job. I'm not a showboat. I'm not a grandstander. I'm a worker.”

“I think that's the great thing about acting - you're always learning.”

“I don't think you can ever be a 'master' of anything. You're always a student.”

“Theater is my first love. It's where I feel most at home.”

“Every character has a truth. Your job is to find it.”

“I've been a professional actor for 30 years, and I've been on sets where I've been like, 'This is just a job.' And then I've been on sets where I've been like, 'This is the most important thing that's ever happened, and I can't believe I'm a part of it.'”

“Directing is just a different way of telling a story. It's another way to get inside the character.”

“My parents were actors, and I was around it, but I never really thought it was something I was going to do.”
