I got good grades in school, but I was in a little school and a small town out of Pittsburgh, not academically demanding or ambitious, I don't know how much that says but I was not that science thrilled I was more in to playing sports, jazz, painting and acting, stuff like that, but recently because of playing these parts I've gotten more interested in science, my dad was a doctor, and I'm reading this Carl Sagan book that makes science, see the way he talks about it is very aliquot, makes it seems kind of human kind of romantic and wondrous, spirituals, sexy vermeil, its very attractive book that he just wrote.
You never know in a movie if it's going to be a sequel, but right now I'm proud of what we produced.
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, uh, don't think I'm, y'know, so different than your average, y'know, average.
I mean, forget about Jurassic Park, I remember the real-event movie when I was a kid was "King Kong Vs. Godzilla". There was a theatre outside of Pittsburgh where I grew up, a real jewel box inside, three balconies.
The original settlers of Alaska apparently were Russian.
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.
Hawaii can be heaven and it can be hell.
It is psychologically unsettling. But I think we've made something more sophisticated than just a slasher movie, because of the family drama in it. The Fly could have been something else (meaning a cheap monster movie). But I think we raised that to something smarter. It's a love story and something that has poetry in it and majesty and real tragedy.
The movie feels to me like a real work of lovely art.
It's OK. I don't mind being, you know to try and subordinate my moods, and reflexes and impulses sometimes and have to be sweet descent and nice, I don't think that's a bad thing, especially I don't think I would have that if I didn't have acting as an outlet, because acting asks you demands you and allows you to be reactive passionate all of yourself, your authentic self in fact your more naked self, your enraged self, your jerky self, your self, its a great outlet so in life if we have to be, you don't want to be phony, but its not a bad idea to have to sidestep your negativity, to count to ten sometimes do the right thing be sweet to people figure out what you can do to to contribute in a situation, and that's not a bad thing.
Well, its certainly a compelling provocative exciting delicious to think about idea, smart people say the universe is so big there must be something statistically it could be likely there could be something happening on some other world.
It's been fun, obviously if you want to be an actor and you think of being successful you always thought that would go along with it, I never thought that was a horrible thing, in fact I've enjoyed it, it's a sweet thing you feel on most encounters, like it's an amazing rare thing that you feel connected to people in a way you're not strangers, you're not bumping into people and they go hey! They're going hey it's you and I'm glad to see you and I like you, and that's a delicious wonderful thing for the most part, it gives you a sense of responsibility so you can't misbehave without being talked about, you know people are going to say, "You know who was a real jerk today? Jeff Goldblum!", so you got to be, but that's a good thing, if we all knew we were going to be reported about and couldn't be anonymous that's not a bad thing, but sometimes you can't exactly, sometimes you want to be private, and it can be embarrassing, or not so nice, but for the most part it's great.
People work harder when conditions are worse.
Not to mention life, which continues to be a challenge, and which I continue to try and get better at.
I thought, this is a good sign. There's something perfect and right about this.
Well, well, well! It's certainly a compelling provocative exciting delicious to think about idea, smart people say the universe is so big there must be something statistically it could be likely there could be something happening on some other world.
No matter how you travel, it's still you going.
When I'm in a happy state of mind, I often am in Los Angeles, recently you know those Fantasy Tour vans that go around, I don't know what they're looking at, they're looking at studios and things like that, when I pass them in my car sometimes I roll down the window and point myself out to them, sometimes they don't notice me, and I'll go OK never mind, but sometimes they go Oh ladies and gentleman to the right we have Jeff Goldblum.
This was one of the places people told me to go, it was one the big trips that you should see: Alaska.
We are good friends and she's a wonderful person and a wonderful actress.
It's not charming to go on a show and say, I dunno. It doesn't fool anybody. There's nothing glamorous about it at all.
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.
Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.
The success of these three movies has certainly made my life less stressful and I'm having great fun slaying aliens and dinosaurs.
It's nice to play a character that has a soulful, dependent, close relationship. It must mean my character is interesting in some way.
It was odd because I hadn't seen much of what we had done until I saw it all put together up there. So, I'm watching everybody, but I care mostly about me [laughs]. So, I'm watching and thinking, "Good, Jeff. That's nice, Jeff. Yes, Jeff, go for it. Oh, YES, Jeff.
To be able to always have a super sense of who I was and my own real identity and be petty and seem informed and always thinking in thoughts would be great.
At its best, life is surprising. Maybe, because that's my appetite, the frontier is uncharted. But it suits me fine. I've gotten used to that. Some people couldn't bear it, but I like that life.
It's mysterious what attracts you to a person.
It's best not to stare at the sun during an eclipse.
It's an important fact of life, war.
No pay, no Goldblum. That's it.
If any movie people are watching this show, please, for me, have some respect. You wanna sell some tickets, act like you know what you're talking about.
I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.
I've turned my guest house into this little studio, and we have actors come over and do readings.
How can you say when you're attracted to something? It's not easy to articulate my tastes.
I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.
I don't go to these places where there are belly dancers and this and that.
I love to be directed. They can trust me and go.
My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It's a little smelly to me, I don't like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don't like to catch them.
Even if I don't have a job, I work on plays and scenes.
It's a delight to trust somebody so completely.
At the end of the movie all of us have this shared redemption.
I travel for work, but recently, friends said I should take major trips.
I don't think of it that way. I'm just flattered playing smart guys who get to figure out before anybody else what's going on. So that's awfully fun.
