Johnny Knoxville

I don't remember the first stunt I ever did.

I actually got stabbed at my friend's bachelor party. In real life.

I'm so uncoordinated, I can't really do that much, so my specialty is standing in one spot or holding on to something, like an exploding rocket or a jetski.

It's a real primal thing, watching someone get hurt. It's funny and accessible.

I love Louisiana. It's amazing.

Coal mining is tough. Acting is just tedious.

A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.

I think everyone roots for the underdog.

I pretty much operate on adrenaline and ignorance.

It's just an unhealthy way to approach something, trying to outdo your last thing. You've gotta trust evolution, you've gotta trust that the bar is moving, that you don't need to force the bar. It'll just happen.

I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.

A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.

I'm the fun dad, I am also the disciplinarian.

People go to car races to watch the crashes.

I love Louisiana. It's amazing.

You were about five feet short of a ten feet jump?

You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.

It's a real primal thing, watching someone get hurt. It's funny and accessible.

I just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.

'That is one fine piece of footwear.'

'She threw up - from soup - on my shoes,'

'It's just such a good town. I always get sad when I leave, ... I play really sad music all the way out to the airport -- tons of outlaw country and western like Willie, Waylon, Johnny.'

'Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be in theaters for a while. You'll have a whole year without me.

'After that movie - I wasn't very proud of my performance - I got an acting coach, ... He's just helped me a lot, so much, and the past five or six films I feel like I'm getting better with every film.'

'Bo and Luke are essentially good guys. They're just reckless as all hell. Mean as snakes, but in a good way.'

'It's highly flammable stuff,'

'Oh, yeah, ... I had some shipped down from Tennessee, absolutely. I had a few cases sent down - arrived in Mason jars - handed it out to the cast and crew.'

'[When fresh content is added on Mondays, box office stars are often prime targets. One article reports that the Screen Actors Guild changed its name to the] Screen Appearance Guild ... According to a little known SAG by-law, if three or more individuals with no discernible acting talent who got roles only out of kitsch value join SAG the union may no longer call itself the Screen Actors Guild, as the name is no longer an accurate description of its membership.'

'It's just such a good town. I always get sad when I leave,'

'Each night (Scott) would sit at home obsessively pouring over the script while I'm down at the bar knocking drinks back. Our styles complemented each other.'
