Quotes from Josh Charles

1. "One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer." — Josh Charles on meeting athletes
2. "I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams." — Josh Charles on growing up in Baltimore
3. "Yeah, it's me, Lara Flynn Boyle and Stephen Baldwin in bed. Doing that scene was certainly uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable to do a love scene with just one other person. You throw someone else in there, and you are even more uncomfortable. It helped that the three of us had a sense of humor." — Josh Charles on sex scene in Threesome
4. "It's like the Tom Waits song. I'd rather be a success on my own terms than a failure on somebody else's." — Josh Charles on roles he takes
