If you're playing a good guy, you show some darkness. If you're playing a dark guy, you show something different, like humor, that will mix it up and hopefully surpass the audience's expectations. What I'm battling all the time is complacency in the audience. I try to bring a little mystery to what might happen because that engages people more.

From Campbell Scott

Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.

From Campbell Scott

Shakespeare is rich and beautiful, and it can be an amazing experience to read and to watch and to work on.

From Campbell Scott

The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.

From Campbell Scott

From Campbell Scott

From Campbell Scott

I make little movies, you know, they need all the help that they can get.

From Campbell Scott

The fact is that you're never gonna believe any of the reviews, because the movie is to you what it is to you. No one's ever gonna sway you from what you feel about it.

From Campbell Scott

I just wanna get to the end of the day without it raining.
