The more I work in the film business, the more I see that those guys, the directors, have the most fun on set.
Quote by -David Harbour
My natural state is a state of an explorer - a performer, but someone who wants to explore their experience and reflect on their experience more than just lie on the beach. Even when I go on vacations, I get stressed out if I'm at the beach for, like, two days. I'm like, 'Can't we do something? I can't just sit there.'
Quote by -David Harbour
I was very resistant to my intellectualism for a while. I do start with an intellectual idea for a character. A lot of the times, it'll be the opposite of what I feel like is on the page, or it'll be just an idea that I read in a psychology textbook or in a philosophy book. I'll apply something to it that I can start to tinker with.
Quote by -David Harbour
I think I'm very hard on myself. I think I've always been very hard on myself since I was a kid.
Quote by -David Harbour
I love all kinds of stuff. I really am so eclectic in my taste. I love film noir, I love thrillers, and I love big blockbuster popcorn cinema stuff, but I like it when it's twinged with a bit more social consciousness.
Quote by -David Harbour
I'm very interested in the drama of the leading man being someone who is incapable, becoming capable.
Quote by -David Harbour
When I got to be, like, in high school and stuff, I sort of was drawn to that feeling of feeling uncomfortable in my skin and being confused by human beings, like, just constantly confused.
Quote by -David Harbour
If acting has any meaning, it is so that we can have greater empathy for other people.
Quote by -David Harbour
I would like to see sexiness sort of embodied in people's real bodies, as opposed to those bodies that are just full of narcissism.
Quote by -David Harbour
I actually went back and watched all of 'True Detective''s Season One again, which I think is a true masterpiece.
Quote by -David Harbour
I'm a bit of a strange human being - I love to work. I love art. I love self-expression.
Quote by -David Harbour
I can like Michael Keaton's Batman, and I can like Christian Bale's Batman.
Quote by -David Harbour
I try to keep it separate as I can, but also, I'm not going to live my life in complete privacy. If I'm feeling something, I'm going to live my life. I will not hide things.
Quote by -David Harbour
As much as I can, I like to curate the information the people know personally about me.
Quote by -David Harbour
The one thing I can say about the 'Stranger Things' cast that I don't often feel when I do television and movies is that every single actor on that show that I've interacted with is a good-hearted person.
Quote by -David Harbour
That's all I've ever wanted to do is to feel like what you're doing moves someone, and that ultimately, maybe they can make a different choice in their life that may be better, right?
Quote by -David Harbour
What makes someone sexy in my mind is who they are. It's not necessarily how they look.
Quote by -David Harbour
I'm always fascinated emotionally in the moment that someone pulls a gun, even a cop. That action - I don't know that I, personally, as a human being, could do it.
Quote by -David Harbour
When that Twitter account came out, @HopperDancingTo, and they put me to all these different songs, I thought that's pretty much one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I watched that for a couple hours straight, him dancing to George Michael and all these stupid songs.
Quote by -David Harbour
I don't even know what memes are, I'm, like, an old person, so I don't really know what a meme is.
Quote by -David Harbour
I did a movie with Jamie Foxx that was kind of action, and, you know, Jim Hopper's a little bit action; he does throw a good punch.
Quote by -David Harbour
With a lot of projects, you never know if it's going to be executed properly. And also, you never know if people are going to respond to it.
Quote by -David Harbour
I did this movie, 'A Walk Among the Tombstones' - I truly play a horrible, horrible individual in that - and I would occasionally go to the theater and watch what people's responses were, and they would laugh. He makes jokes, and people would respond to him in a human way. Then I've really done my job if I've humanized a really horrible person.
Quote by -David Harbour
What I'm dealing with in 'Hellboy' is a lot different, bigger in a certain way. It's very Shakespearean. It's demons and witches and stuff like that. But it has a similar core to a dude who's trapped in horrible circumstances who's just trying to be a good guy.
Quote by -David Harbour
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.
Quote by -David Harbour
When you push and pull heavy things, your body thinks it's going to die, and so it's like, 'I better get bigger, in case we do that tomorrow.'
Quote by -David Harbour
One of the things I've been interested in my whole career is exploring masculinity and what it means to be a man. The sensitivity of a man, but also the violence and power that goes along with it.
Quote by -David Harbour
People who are deep thinkers, who have sort of a weird way of looking at the universe, are wildly attractive to me.
Quote by -David Harbour
I'm terrified of the unknown, which is a driving force for me. I like this idea that the things that terrify us also draw us in.
Quote by -David Harbour
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.
Quote by -David Harbour
There are certain societal laws that are just accepted, things that are arbitrary. I think the fun thing about psychotics is that they question that. It can be very freeing... like, my ego or my individuality trumps society's law.
Quote by -David Harbour
I'm just trying to give the best human expression that I can to any particular genre, which could be comedy, could be drama, could be horror, could be thriller.
Quote by -David Harbour
I have one thing to say about the mental asylum. I've romanticized two things in my life, and both have fallen short. One is being in a mental asylum. Really, really not as fun as you think it is.
