Vince Vaughn Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

As a kid I had a hard time reading in school. I was the kid who would go one period a day to the class for kids with learning disabilities.

I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.

I moved out at 18. I always studied classes and trained a lot, you know. I think nowadays is such a different time because there's so many channels promoting the celebrity aspect of things.

I think too many people look at the arts with a religious outlook. Arts, music, singing and performing, it's all make-believe.

I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn't sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever.

If I'm not interested in a woman, I'm straight-forward. Right after sex, I usually say, 'I can't do this anymore. Thanks for coming over!'

The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most of my life, The Fountainhead.

Whenever you're scared of something, don't let that define you. We all feel it, but step up.

You don't worry about being liked. You have to be yourself.
