Bryan Greenberg Quotes & Trivia



Quotes

Bryan (About his One Tree Hill character): He is so random and cryptic. He's sort of like the Buddha of basketball. He doesn't say much, but when he speaks, what he says is important.

Bryan(about his One Tree Hill character 'Jake'): I don't think I'm Mr. Buddha man. I think I have profound things to say sometimes, but most of the time, they are just stupid. I'm not as deep as Jake. He has a lot of things brewing under the surface. I mean I have secrets, we all have secrets, but I don't have a baby...that I know of!

Bryan(about acting teachers): I've gone to so many different acting teachers. It's funny. Listen to what Goddard says in class: know the lines, know what they mean and mean them when you say them. If I would have known that earlier. Think of all the money I wasted! (laughs) When we have to do scenes for Goddard's class, we work hard because we know that he's gonna be brutally honest.

What does Unscripted say about being a "struggling actor"? Bryan: I think of struggling like when you struggle to pay your rent. I've been there, you know.

What kind of reaction do you expect from Unscripted? Bryan: You just have to enjoy it because people might respond to it, they might not. You can't really worry about that. You just gotta show up to your job and enjoy it because it's awesome and rare and cool as hell. But there's never gonna be a project like this again.

Do you have a celebrity crush? Bryan: No, I don't want to get into that and get into trouble. I just started!

Bryan(about meeting Meryl Streep): Then when I met her, she was so disarming and cool and generous; she wasn't an icon or on a high horse at all, she was just as willing to learn. That levelled the playing field a little bit. As a young actor trying to make it for a while, actually it's what I've always wanted to do.

Bryan(about making out with Uma Thurman): A lot of actors will say, `It's not glamorous' and 'It's just a job,' and that's all true, but when you get a chance to make out with Uma Thurman...I enjoyed those scenes. It's sort of, you know, I like to mess around with Uma and push her buttons a little. I guess she expected I'd be a little nervous. She's,'You're OK?' I said I'd never done this before. 'You've never done this before, you've never done a sex scene before?' And I'm saying, 'I never had sex before.' She looked at me, 'Oh, you're a virgin' - and I had her for five minutes. And then it was good.

Bryan(about not changing his name): Absolutely not. I'm not that guy. I wish I was born with a last name like Cruise, but what are you gonna do? Cruiseberg? Cruisestein?

Are you more into girls like Scarlett's or Erika's character? Bryan: Probably go with Scarlett. It's a little more fun and I'm a little boring so I need that.

Are you looking for a record deal? Bryan: Not so much a deal but I'd like to record an album. That's my New Year's resolution. Once I get the time I'm doing it. I don't know the first thing about the music business so I'm trying to find a producer I trust.

What was it like working with Scarlett Johansson? Bryan: She's great and a lot of fun. She was young but still a pro. I really felt comfortable with her in the scene.
