Like everybody, I’ve had a lot of pain in my life and I’m a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up. – Walton Goggins
I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn. – Walton Goggins
I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people. – Walton Goggins
I’m drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life. – Walton Goggins
Whenever you show up on a set where you haven’t been from the beginning – at least myself – I’m kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds. – Walton Goggins
My heroes are Robert Duvall, Forest Whitaker, Ed Harris, Tommy Lee Jones, Anthony Hopkins and Sean Penn. – Walton Goggins
I’m not good at telling a joke, but I can say a line in a certain way that makes people uncomfortable because they don’t know whether to laugh or not, and I love that comedy. – Walton Goggins
I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m very comfortable with who I am. – Walton Goggins
‘The Portrait of Dorian Grey’ beautifully articulates how the altruistic part of ourselves clashes with our essentially narcissistic state. – Walton Goggins
I really believe that when you’re playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I’m pulling from things from my own life, then I think I’m being disingenuous to the character and the story. – Walton Goggins
You know, I’m from the South, and I wasn’t interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character. – Walton Goggins
No, but there are people I grew up with from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains that would give any person on ‘Justified’ a run for their money in the scary department. – Walton Goggins
I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that. – Walton Goggins
I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We’re supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we’ll truly need it and we won’t spill a drop. It’s about being present. – Walton Goggins
I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it’s put to an image, a moving image, and I love it. – Walton Goggins
I try to leave a light footprint. I’m involved with Global Green, which aims to educate people about sustainable building and the greening of schools. I try to be aware about the consumption of unnecessary things in a consumptive culture. – Walton Goggins
