Quotes by Aaron Eckhart
Aaron Eckhart's insights on:
I owned a 1972 Plymouth Valiant that we bought for $125. It was infested with cockroaches and geckos – it was its own little ecosystem.
Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I’m not always happy with that.
But I guess I like playing flawed guys ’cause it gives a place for the characters to go.
If you go to YouTube and look up ‘grief’ you can find them and it’s just an unbelievable tool for an actor to be able to access, without being unethical. It’s like accessing the deepest, most painful parts of a person.
