I haven't had a lot of comedy come my way as a performer.

As an actor to watch an audience of people howl together in a single mind as a result of work you've done together with friends is a privilege.

From Tommy Lee Jones

I haven't a clue if there is life on other planets but I'd be charmed if we found a unicellular organism on Mars. It would change our whole concept of life on Earth.

From Tommy Lee Jones

I don't direct movies for a living.

From Tommy Lee Jones

I know a lot of cowboys and I've done a little work on ranches with cattle, and those people become your friends, and keep their word.

From Tommy Lee Jones

No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.

From Tommy Lee Jones

As a child of West Texas, I identify with Hispanic culture every bit as much as I do North American culture.

From Tommy Lee Jones

No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others.

From Tommy Lee Jones

I want to photograph what I see and put it in a dramatic context. I'm an actor and a writer, and I want to tell these stories and present these shapes, colors and movements as I see them, as I see them serve a narrative. As I see that narrative serve an audience. That's what I want to do.

From Tommy Lee Jones

I love cinema.
