Scott Cohen

Scott: I didn't hang out with the hip. I never went to clubs. I'd rather talk than dance.

Scott: I'm sure I'll get tired very quickly. With these kinds of roles, emotionally you're a waste; you're a basket case. You don't know exactly what's real and what's not. The trick is to remember that your character may be pathological, but you are not!

Scott: It was instinct. That might sound weird... But the bestiality is something that's in us somewhere. I was so connected to him. His bestiality came out of his neuroses, and that's something I could relate to. (about Wolf)

Scott: I had these 8-year-old black shoes that I'd worn holes in walking to auditions all over Manhattan, and I decided to throw them out. My wife said, 'Don't. Those are the shoes that got you where you are. It's powerful to see what comes from the result of a struggle. So I kept them. I might need them again.

Scott: In college, I took a course in clowning and became a circus clown. My teacher had a theater company, and I auditioned and got in.

Scott: When I was a kid, I wanted to be a musician, but I didn't have the discipline.

Scott: I served Al Pacino a cappuccino when I was working at Jerry's in SoHo. He gave me a $5 tip.

Scott: There were times when I really wished I could do something else. (about acting)

Scott: (on being a celebrity) I am glad you think I am a celebrity. LOL. But I think that the difficult thing is being seen as your character and not as a human being.

Scott: I believe in struggle. And I believe that the struggle is beautiful. You have to try it or you will never know what's beyond it.
