Sean Astin Quotes

I don't want to play the fat guy or the friend for the rest of my life.
I think people enjoy reading about money, but the people who are in charge of giving me guidance tell me not to talk about it in interviews. Why not? That's what everybody thinks about.
I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off.
The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren't ringing my phone off the hook.
There was a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but also really not wanting to be stuck in Lord of the Rings for the rest of my life, and being desperate to kind of make sure that I could do something else with my life.
A doable goal for me is to finish a marathon under four hours. I'm doing all the training, but the hardest part is eating right.
A paparazzo once jumped out of a car and started running backward with me. I slowed down out of courtesy because she started drifting into the street. I reached out my hand and moved her back so she didn't get hit by a bus.

Even though my parents were famous actors, I honestly felt most of the time that I didn't understand what was going on.
Everyone on 'The Goonies' and everyone on 'Lord Of The Rings' knew that we were a part of something that was going to be big.
I absolutely do not think that I have even a vague recollection of what normal life is like.
I actually think I've got a pretty good horror scream.

I don't like scary movies.
I don't want to use the word 'instinct,' but when something good happens - something big or good in my life - I have this sensation that it was inevitable. Anything careerwise, 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Rudy,' or getting married. Which is weird, because you don't ever want to be ungrateful for what you have.
I feel like I'm close to all the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Goonies' people, but I'm kind of sequestered with my wife and kids. But as soon as there's some reason for all of us to be together, it's like no time has passed, lots of hugs.
I first heard about 'Stranger Things' from people dressed as the characters coming up to me at conventions saying, 'Hey, you have to see this show. It's 'Goonies.'
