Tommy Lee Jones
"Irony I have a pretty good grasp of but not humor."
Born: September 15, 1946, in San Saba, Texas
Graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in English
(He was Al Gore's roommate.)

Has he ever made a bad movie?
"Somebody's gonna give you some money to perform a job, you do your best to make 'em a good hand."
"People who will suggest that the American motion picture audience is dumb are sadly mistaken. Americans are not dumb. We don't read enough books; we may watch too much television. But these people are not idiots."
"Living with and by my imagination is what it takes to make me feel clean and healthy."
POSTSCRIPT
"...the late and great Bob Mitchum used to say that under the studio system,
when you do well, you didn't get to do better, you only got to do more."
