Quotes from Josh Charles
- "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
- "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
- "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
- "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
