M. Emmet Walsh's Quotes

  • I'm being paid for what I'd do for nothing.
  • I approach each job thinking I may die of a heart attack, so it had better be the best work possible.
  • I don't have an ego when I get the work. If I'm playing a doctor I want you to see a doctor. I don't want you to see an Emmet Walsh doctor and that's I think been the confusion with my career. People know my work, but they don't know who I am. I've always had fun hiding in the character.
