A biography for Matthew Gray Gublerhasn’t been written yet.
“I am embarrassingly 1920s in style.”
“I'm very similar to the way I was when I was 5.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Literally, my first audition after 'The Life Aquatic' was for the 'Criminal Minds' pilot.”
“I look a little like Beaker. I think I'm a cross between Beaker and The Count. My hair looks like Oscar the Grouch. It's Muppety hair.”
“I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.”
“With all comedy, you try to ground it in credibility and reality.”
“My favourite actors have always been the character actors.”
“I've always had the utmost respect and awe of what the lens can do and what a director can do with just a camera move.”
“If you just do a Google search and type in 'smoking' or 'lung cancer', you will be barraged with never ending facts and numbers, like how one in every three Americans is affected by lung disease and how COPD is the third leading cause of death and if you get lung cancer the odds are 95% that you will die.”
“My dream is just to make zero-budget movies for the rest of my life, because I love that environment.”
“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.”
“I never thought I'd be making a living off of acting - it's still kind of a shock for my family and friends to see my face on TV every Wednesday night.”
“I think the key to directing a great music video is in making sure the song is great, and if it is, then it becomes really fun.”
“It'd be cool to chipmunk-ize 'The Virgin Suicides' soundtrack. All this ethereal French music, I think that would be unique to listen to.”
“I get really sad when people say, 'I'm no good. I haven't been cast in a pilot.' It doesn't mean you're not good; it just means someone hasn't seen you yet. It doesn't mean that in real life you're not the greatest actor.”
“I'm happy every day that I get up and I'm alive.”
“I thank every bully I ever had because that's the only reason I'm here. I learned how to not be affected by it and triumph over it, and that made me - again, if I had any success whatsoever, it's because these people made fun of me.”
“I like haunted things.”
