Jesse Plemons quotes
- I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday.
- I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football.
- I don't really listen to the radio too much. I know that one song, "Hotline Bling."
- I get a little freaked out when I'm around too many redheads. I only have about one or two red-haired friends, and when a bunch of us get together, I feel like there's going to be a fight that breaks out or something.
- 'Friday Night Lights' was kind of like my college years because I did four seasons of that. It was my first series. It was the most time I had with one character, and kind of growing and evolving with the character over that long of a span of time, it just allows you to sort of learn in a completely different way that I had never experienced.
- I love playing guitar. I grew up with my dad playing. But acting is definitely the forefront, I guess I'd say, in terms of career and something that I really enjoy and feel lucky to be able to do
- I'm open to all religions. Respecting Scientology is just like respecting any other religious view.
- My focus is to grow, have fun, and work with people who inspire me, like Philip Seymour Hoffman.
- I'm going to try to keep believing that if you do good work, people will keep calling. Whenever that fails, I'll just start going nuts on Twitter
- I deleted my Facebook account when I was 19 because it didn't bring out good qualities in me. I figured, 'Well my mom's got a Facebook. If people want to find me, they can go through her.'
- I think it would be fun to walk around in Bill Murray's mind for a while.
- Right after 'Friday Night Lights' ended, I was in sort of an existential crisis.
- I don't think I'm a slacker, but I don't have aspirations to, like, conquer Hollywood. Or the world. Or anything.
- Awards shows... I just feel like a fish out of water at those things.
- I don't feel competitive toward other actors. I'm competitive with myself.

- Every role I take on, I try and bring my best and to be as honest as possible. I try not to repeat things I've done in the past. Which gets harder and harder.
- It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.
- I was 3 and a half, and there was an open call for a Coca-Cola commercial. We were living around Dallas, and my mom took me. I think they were calling for 16-year-olds that could ride horses and swing a rope, and for whatever reason, my mom took me up there when I was 3. But I always had a rope, and I was a little cowboy at that age.
- It seems to work out that following anything you do, you are pretty much approached with versions of the last thing people saw you in.
- The reason you want to act is to continue to explore every different part of the human psyche.
Jesse Plemons is a man worth his salt. He is an iconic actor, a phenomenal entertainer, and quite a heartthrob if you ask me, don’t you think?
