J.K. Simmons's Quotes

  • [on his career] If I had any other talent or salable commodity I probably would have gone into it. I mean, aside from the modelling, yeah.
  • I never listened to the Grateful Dead as a teen; the only exposure I got was what came through the walls when my sister was listening to them.
  • I'm not a fan of any genre but am a fan of movies that are intelligent and/or funny. That goes across all genres: a horror movie, a zombie movie, alien invaders, chick flick, or raunchy comedy. If it's well done, I'm a fan.
  • I like to act. Every other aspect of show business I find uninteresting.
  • People evolve and it's important to not stop evolving just because you've reached 'adulthood'.

  6. Before playing police psychiatrist Dr. Emil Skoda on Law & Order (1990), he played a fanatical nut-case suspect on a crossover episode of Law & Order (1990) and Homicide: Life on the Street (1993). He is among the few recurring members to have a guest spot as one character on a "Law & Order" series before going on to play a different character in the L&O universe (others include S. Epatha Merkerson and Jerry Orbach).

  17. In the well-known and very long-running television commercials for Farmer's Insurance, he portrays a professor at the seemingly fictional Farmer's University, which has labs or classrooms which teach students about disasters, accidents, and more. However, according to the Farmer's Insurance website: "If you become an agent, you'll find out firsthand: The University of Farmers is, in fact, a real place. Our award-winning training program focuses on the Four Business Basics: Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Financial Management. Our non-traditional insurance courses are what set us apart, including a car rotisserie and an all-weather model home.".
