John Gordon Sinclair Quotes

I'm not actually a musician.

It's a point of pride that no one would treat me any differently because I'm an actor than if I was a gardener.

When somebody asks me what I do, I don't think I'd say critic. I say writer.

I don't necessarily like being defined by my profession.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

I don't consider myself a star or a celebrity or anybody, you know. I just think of myself as doing something that I love to do.

When I first was able to fill in A-C-T-O-R for the occupation line on my passport, that was the first time I really felt, 'Wow, I'm home.'

My name has zero value.

I'm just a person. I'm not anything!

I don't consider myself much of a singer. I'm a writer first.

I'm just a worker.

Don't call me a hero. I would prefer myself being called as an actor.

In the scheme of things, I'm just a guy who gets my picture taken.

Writing is not my job.

I don't call myself any kind of singer. I leave that to other people because there are plenty out there who're quick to do that.

Believe it or not, I swear I'm just a human being.

I have no interest in ever coming out. I’m just trying to make the pictures look good; I’m not into trying to make myself look good. And besides, it’s a pretty safe bet that the reality of me would be a crushing disappointment to a couple of 15-year-old kids out there.

I never aspired to be up front. When I was a kid, I didn't ever look in the mirror with a hairbrush going, "Hey, I'm Elvis!"

A man's worth is what he is divided by what he thinks he is.

It is a hard and nice subject for a man to speak of himself: it grates his own heart to say anything of disparagement, and the reader's ear to hear anything of praise from him.

I don't feel like a big star.

Am I a hero? I really can't say, but yes.

My work is more important than I am. I'm just some guy.

In my more pompous moments I like to think of myself as a writer rather than a humorist, but I suppose that's merely the vanity of advancing age.

People think I'm smarter than I am.
