Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Dennis: (on the cast in the movie Big Trouble) The cast is huge, but I never saw any of them, except Jack Kehler, who plays my partner. It was just Jack and I and a lot of the movie is from our point of view -- things are being revealed as we see them. I saw Tim Allen once, in the makeup chair. He said, 'Hey, I heard we're in a movie together'.
-
Dennis: Some people approach acting with all these things in their head, making it more complicated then it needs to be, way too cerebral. I don't want to know that an actor lived in a cave for 12 days so that he could prepare for a part.
