Patrick Wilson: I would never abandon Broadway. I do want to expand my horizons with more film work, but I’m interested in good roles, wherever they may be. I want to do both, so I will… unless I never get a job again, in which case I’ll go back to my first career choice: chimney sweep.
Patrick Wilson : This man took it upon himself to mete out life sentences upon those boys without any of the protections he's had in this court. Is two life sentences too much to ask for in exchange? If not for him, for who?
Patrick Wilson: It is your whole life in there. And you can pass because of the smallest thing, or not pass because of the smallest thing.
Patrick Wilson: It's an amazingly liberating thing to be able ... to take your clothes off and not worry about it, because it's not about your body, it's not anything like that, ... (I)t's nice to go out there and have people screaming regardless of whether you look like a Chippendale (male dancer) or not.
Patrick Wilson: He's painted as this big, swashbuckling kind of hero, but Travis didn't consider himself a hero. For Travis, he always thought a leader was someone who puts on fancy clothes. He finally figures out who he is in his last days.(on his character Col. William Travis in "The Alamo")
Patrick Wilson: To be in a movie or a play which doesn't require me to take off my clothes. Unless, of course, I don't get another job... In which case I'll be half-naked and whole-heartedly depressed for the rest of my career.(on his 2003 resolution)
