“I made 'Going Greek', which was a very sort of crappy fraternity comed...” — Justin Zackham Quote

I made 'Going Greek', which was a very sort of crappy fraternity comedy that I did back in 2000.

We'll probably live 20 more years than our grandparents did. The question is, what are you going to do with those extra 20 years?

One day, I got so disgusted that I sat down and wrote a list called 'Justin's list of things to do before he kicks the bucket.' I wrote it for myself and shortened it to 'Justin's Bucket List.' It was there on the wall, not as a story idea but as a motivational tool for myself, which actually ended up working pretty well.

For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene you put them in.

I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.

I had a teacher in college who drastically changed the course of my life by telling me that he believed in me as an actor. I never received that support before, and it inspired to me to such a degree that I never looked back. He taught me that it's okay to be crappy; it's okay to fight; it's okay to go to any length.

We were pretty crappy in the beginning. We really didn't sound that great.

I know there are a lot of readers that think I've got a very crappy marriage just because of the things going on with Rick and Lori but there's really nothing that's been like a mirror. I'm just making this stuff up.
