Top 14 Quotes from The Hollywood Reporter's Kyle Chandler Profile, From Pretty Upsetting to DEAR GOD YOU'VE RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE
14. "It's half past three on the first Thursday of February, and we seem to have exhausted Chandler's enthusiasm for talking about himself. We've been on the topic for the better part of two hours, ever sincehe blew into The Driskill hotel and suggested we bag our lunch plans and head to the bar: "You didn't want to eat, did ya?""
13. ""Lemme think," he says, pulling an iPhone from his wrinkled khakis. He tries a local dive he's hoping has live music. "Not 'til 6:30," says a voice on the other end of the line."
12. "We arrive just in time for happy hour and snag a seat at the bar, where the bartender is happy to see him. Chandler has a dozen oysters and a cold beer; I order the tuna tartare and nurse a Stella."
11. "Chandler stepped up as a leader on Bloodline's Islamorada, Fla., set, just as he had on FNL. He'd host big parties at a house he'd rented on the beach, and invite everyone out on his brother's boat."
10. "'"He's a 'yes, ma'am,' 'yes, sir,' 'thank you please' kind of guy. He was raised a good Southern boy.'"
9. "He thinks stage acting would be interesting, and he's desperate to do a comedy."
8. "We talk some more, about books we're reading (he's loving Rory MacLean's Berlin), TV shows we watch (he's a Game of Thrones fan) and parts of the world we still want to see (he and [his wife] have been talking about Spain)."
7. "Chandler unlocks the passenger door of his new Mustang GT, which he's parked in a lot down the street from The Driskill, and tosses his daughter's chess set into the backseat so that I can slip in. Bob Dylan sings through the speakers as we drive to Perla's."
6. "He's not that guy who's going to sit down on Sunday and watch eight hours of football," says Taylor Kitsch, with whom he bonded during long motorcycle rides."
5. "He's hard at work on a Boston accent."
4. "'"I was extremely hung over, and I had smoked, like, 20 cigars — it was either my birthday or someone else's birthday, but it was a big bash — and I hadn't shaved or probably showered in a few days," he tells me. "So I show up on my motorcycle, probably late...'"
3. "The motorcycle habit continues, and so do the birthday bashes, the cigars and the booze. But he's turned that love of risk-taking to more productive ends, too, including a side gig as a volunteer fireman."
2. "He runs his hands through his thick black hair, still thinking, and then he's got it. "How's this," he says, his Southern drawl tippling with excitement: "We go to Perla's for some oysters and a beer, then we stop by The Continental Club for a quick shot, then I'll take you to the airport.""
1. "When I ask what ultimately snapped him out of [his dark period], his square jaw loosens into a smile. "It's still fun to take chances and do things you're not supposed to do," he says, adding coyly as I press for details: "Things that I shouldn't mention on this recording, things that are bad enough that I don't want to talk about it in the public eye.""
