John C. Reilly Quotes
Movies are this thing that came into my life, and it still feels pretend in some way. I kind of do this thing, and I never really accepted this idea that I'm a film actor. That's what I do. I feel like I'm a theater actor that started doing films. Most people have never seen me in a play. They're fun, though.

Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance.
