I had a Southern accent but I had broken it so hard.

Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.

I was making choices that were very specific: Make a living, take care of your family, and if you can, find some movies that you can sink your teeth into.

I want to be so strong as an actor that people wouldn't say... eh, that's Josh Lucas

I'll look at the script and I'll try to find as many books, movies, and pieces of music that I think are going to feed each scene or the character as a whole

I know for myself my big, long friendships they don't have the same problems any more, but they also-when you get together you often times just have a drink and watch football together. You're not really talking about everything so much the same way. You just need to be around each other, and yet you can look at each other and so much is said just between those minutiae- it's totally subtle is really what it is. I felt like that, you know, a life that's been so totally dramatic then becomes beauty in the fact that it's just so small.

There's such good people out there where there filmmaking world is alive.
