It's a wonderful thing, not thinking too much. Served me well most of my life.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
John Gielgud used to have me whip him with a belt across his bare ass every night before curtain up, and that was before we were friends. Then things got weird.
[about acting] Nature, that's our job. To understand the world around us and ourselves within it. The real work isn't digging for subtext or parsing a writer's intent. The real work is living.
But I remember you from that Omnibus episode you did in the '70s. You played Edgar Allan Poe. "The Need for Nightmare."
Well, well, well... Not too many people remember that old gem, including me. How was I?
You know, some of us actually believe in supporting each other. Take it from someone who's eaten shit on stage more times than he can count. Not literally, mind you.
Nah, that's not my process.
Well, your process can go blow a spider.
JPJoe Pantoliano
No, look, look... Show business, it's crazy. It... It's built on a foundation of insanity, so success is the collateral you use to build something real for yourself.
Well, I've never been to Pacoima before.
I grew up there, and I promise you haven't missed anything. It's basically Cleveland with palm trees.
Well, I've never been to Cleveland either.
DDDeMarr Davis
But I can't act.
JGJosh Gad
Who cares? I can't act. It's never stopped me from being an actor.
I'm just tryin' to process it, honestly.
No, don't process it, Simon. Enjoy it, for heaven's sake.
Simon, you've got to try one. I feel like Stevie Nicks having coke blown up her bunghole.
Are you gonna use super speed or what?
I'm gonna use my car, Trevor.
Does that mean you do or do not have super speed?
Trevor, would you please focus?
Hmph. What is there for me to focus on? I'm in the passenger seat.
I don't know. Just look around or something.
Come on. Let's both stay loose and relaxed.
Simon Williams: What? No. You know I can't do either one of those things.
No, I had a feeling it would all sort itself out.
You say that about a lot of stuff, don't you?
