A biography for Gary Colehasn’t been written yet.
“When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.”
“You never know, when you commit to something, what else could have been. I'm so bored with that concept anymore. 'If only I didn't do this, I could have done this.' It was in front of me, they asked me to do it, and it seemed like good timing.”
“People get the wrong idea. They think because somebody's visible and works to a degree in some kind of consistent way, they just have a pile of choices. And that's not necessarily true. You can always choose not to audition and see what happens. Sometimes that's a benefit. But most things that I do, I meet on, especially films.”
“There's a million different ways you can look at a moment.”
“I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.”
“You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.”
“Other than advances in technology and equipment, making a movie is the same as it was when I started, at least. I don't go back to the silent era.”
“Every actor thinks he's underused - unless he's a movie star.”
“I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.”
“'Fatal Vision' was basically the first thing I did on camera.”
“I am a normal American.”
“Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.”
“Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.”
“I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out what will happen in an acting career.”
“Yes, I've already done a couple of guest voices.”
“I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.”
“You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.”
“You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.”
“I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.”
“There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.”
