I started getting on my feet and clowning around, and they ended up putting me in a play when I was 12. And I was hooked.

I think the enemy is self-censorship. In a free society the biggest danger is that you're afraid to the point where you censor yourself.
Tim Robbins

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.

I wouldn't even get elected. I'd probably deck a couple of people, too which would not play very well with the national media.
Tim Robbins

I wouldn't say I'm a method actor. I do research when I feel I don't have enough experience for the part I'm playing.
Tim Robbins

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.
Tim Robbins

I'm not gangly; I'm very coordinated. I do have a bit of a baby face. But I guess that just means I'll be working longer.
Tim Robbins

I'm six foot four and a half and I have a temper. It's reserved for very important issues. If someone is asking me to make an artistic concession, then I'll become a madman.
Tim Robbins

I'm the kind of person who does not remember bad things.
Tim Robbins

I've been lucky-my looks haven't put me into one category. I don't look like a blue blood. I don't look like a criminal. I don't look like anything.

Tim Robbins

If you find yourself in a movie that you have questions about, it's not a compromise to your integrity.
Tim Robbins

If you're in the position to help someone and you do it, it's very rewarding.
Tim Robbins

Is Walt turning over in his grave? A man named Joe Roth runs Disney right now-he gave me the go-ahead and total freedom to do whatever I wanted to do.
Tim Robbins

It was dangerous to hit the wrong kid in my neighborhood, because a lot of the guys I played with had fathers in the Mafia.
Tim Robbins

It's certainly a lot more difficult to get a project made if you're talking about something progressive. That's just the nature of the industry.
Tim Robbins

It's difficult when you have to turn down a tremendous amount of money because you don't like what the script is saying and you don't have any money.
Tim Robbins

Just because someone gets arrested doesn't mean what they are doing is wrong. Some laws are unfair and unjust.
