Jerk Quotations
If a guy is over 25 percent jerk, he's in trouble. And Henry was 95 percent.
Lee Iacocca
I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can't now.
Leonardo DiCaprio
If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.
Christian Bale
Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.
Eddie Van Halen
For every 10 good things, there's always some jerk that wants to say something bad.
Devon Sawa
You make a lot of films, do you? You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk.
George Clooney
Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.
Don Van Vliet
Most of my stuff before CSI was kind of the jerk boyfriend, so I thought this was one of those deals, where these two have a thing going on, so we had a scene where they make out.
George Eads
I don't mind if somebody comes up to me and shakes my hand, but if I'm in the middle of a restaurant and somebody asks me for a picture, I can be a jerk and say no, or I can say yes and draw more attention to myself, which is exactly the opposite of what I want.
Macaulay Culkin
