Josh Quotes/Notes

aloha · 03-12-2008, 04:00 PM

just found a few interesting quotes of Josh. some I´ve never read before

"After my dad watched 'Cracker' he said to me, 'I'm sorry for whatever I did.' I said, 'You didn't do anything, I was acting.' My performance made him feel bad; he said he'd seen all those faces before." - Josh Hartnett on playing troubled characters in Interview, January 1999

"I always thought I was crap at auditioning. Casting directors love me? Really? Thank God somebody does!" - Hartnett to Movieline, March 2000

"I felt like I was under water, like I couldn't breathe. People were closing in asking for autographs and I sensed danger, but how do you defend yourself against an autograph?" - Hartnett on the "Halloween: H20" premiere, quoted in Empire, May 1999

"I guess I'm bracing myself, but I don't think it has to change my life. It can change a lot of stuff, but it doesn't have to change what I want to be and who I am. And I don't want it to." - Josh Hartnett on fame as quoted in Daily News, March 19, 2000

"I liked it immediately. I just love searching for people and trying to create a full human being. You see so many paper-thin characters in movies sometimes, and I always think, 'Oh man, they could have done so much more with that.'" - Hartnett on acting to the London Times, May 11, 2000

"I was raised to think for myself and try not to get caught up in things, so I guess I'm just trying to find my way. It's totally flattering to have people think that you're attractive physically, but I don't know man. In order to keep perspective I just try to really evaluate what matters to me at any given time." - Hartnett on staying grounded to Moviehole.net, June 10, 2003

"My opinions definitely changed when I got there. I thought it was going to be this magical place where people walked around in slouch hats and overalls and carried monstrous signs. When I saw 'Chaplin,' I thought that was the way Hollywood is, except a little more built up. I thought the studios heads would just kind of wink across the tops of building at each other and say, 'Aha!' So I was kind of disappointed. I moved away pretty quickly." - Hartnett to Interview magazine, February 2000

I love the one about Cracker, where his dad was worried what he did wrong LOL

"My mom had a crush on him (John Elway)when I was a kid," Hartnett says with a smile. "I couldn't tell her I was going (to Denver) for many reasons. She would've flown out -- fallen all over him. I saved my parents' relationship."

**Ophelia** · 03-13-2008, 07:11 PM

"The last concert I saw was probably White Stripes or Joanna Newsome. She's a harpist and she has this really odd style, and it's beautiful. I saw her at the Bowery Ballroom not too long ago. I got to more rock shows, though -- I saw Kings Of Leon. And recently I started listening to some New Order and Joy Division. I have this great hard disk with 250 gigs of music on it, and I'm always switching back and forth."

nat81 · 03-14-2008, 08:08 AM
