Words matter. These are the best Scott Glenn Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.

Someone asked me what part of the body is the most important to be strong – it’s the big toe. The big toe especially, and the inner front-third of your feet, are what give you balance and will make you infinitely better at any sport, any physical activity and, as you get older, will keep you from falling.
My life is stupidly physical.
Good balance makes you a better dancer, musician, actor – anything.
I’m sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.

I knew that acting is like anything – you learn from doing it.
