J. K. Simmons

I don't respond to authority figures who abuse their authority.

People evolve and it's important to not stop evolving just because you've reached 'adulthood.'

I never had intention of coming to New York or L.A. and actually doing more than scraping by - you know, doing plays. And as my career sort of progressed of its own volition, I did come to New York.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

To hear the appreciation, the screams - that's what any of us need. We're at our best when we're wanted.
