Jonathan Kimble “J. K.” Simmons Quotes

• To me that kind of just means, he’s not as good-looking as George Clooney. He’s not number one on the call sheet, and he’s not the leading man. It is […] superfluous in a way.
• [on winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Whiplash (2014)] Wow, thank you. Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of Whiplash (2014). And I am grateful everyday for the most remarkable person I know: my wife, the wonderful Michelle Schumacher. I’m grateful for your love, your kindness, your wisdom, your sacrifice and your patience. Which brings me to the above-average children-even though I may try their patience more. Joe and Olivia, you are extraordinary human beings. Smart, funny, kind, loving people and that’s because you are a reflection of your mother. And if I may, call your mom, everybody. I’ve told this to, like, a billion people, or so. Call your mom, call your dad. If you’re lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call ’em. Don’t text. Don’t email. Call them on the phone. Tell ’em you love ’em, and thank them, and listen to them for as long as they want to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you, Mom and Dad.

• People evolve and it’s important to not stop evolving just because you’ve reached ‘adulthood.’
• I like to act. Every other aspect of show business I find uninteresting.
• I’m not a fan of any genre but am a fan of movies that are intelligent and/or funny. That goes across all genres: a horror movie, a zombie movie, alien invaders, chick flick, or raunchy comedy. If it’s well done, I’m a fan.
• I never listened to the Grateful Dead as a teen; the only exposure I got was what came through the walls when my sister was listening to them.
