Jeff Goldblum Filmography

• Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
• "The whole idea of becoming an actor was never to 'make it big'. In real life we live a limited version of ourselves and present a masked version of ourselves."
• "Acting demands that you be a truth seeker...Phony people can't be good actors. Truthful people, people who are scrupulous, and can be honest, and know them selves, and are after the truth in life, whatever that may be, are people who are good at acting."
• "I grew up watching sci-fi and monster movies like I Was A Teenage Werewolf ... and all those creepy old Vincent Price horror movies. They made a huge impression on me and I think that's what Independence Day is going to do for a whole generation of youngsters. It's going to be their favorite nightmare."
• "I've been lucky. And thank goodness the (sci-fi films) I've done have been good movies. I feel like some kind of lucky star has, for now, shone on me."
• On his relationship with Geena Davis after their divorce: "We are good friends and she's a wonderful person and a wonderful actress."
• On Laura Dern: "Well, you know, I'm very easily stirred. And she's a remarkable woman. So I was struck with that from the beginning. But it wasn't until the film was over that we formed an alliance. I had been discreetly casting glances across the dinosaur. It's mysterious what attracts you to a person."

• Nominated for Best Short Film, Live Action at Academy Awards for LITTLE SURPRISES (1996)
• Catalonian International Film Festival: Best Actor, MISTER FROST (1990)
• Saturn Award: Best Actor, THE FLY (1986)
