James Woods’s Tweets

This post moves me more than I can express. Jim and I invested such passion in that project, because we knew what was on the line. To have been even incrementally responsible for saving a single life through my work is worth a thousand Oscars. You have moved me to tears. #BillW

What @RealJamesWoods does not know, is that 31 years ago, he had a hand in saving my life. His portrayal of Bill W. had stuck with me and when I finally had enough, I got sober. Mr. Woods and James Garner (RIP) are the two who's hands I'd shake.

They were literally each other’s best friend. Robin’s success was instant, and deservedly so. We were all still auditioning for TV guest spots. Robin was working non-stop, so didn’t hang out as much as we more unemployed actors did!

Were you friends with Robin Williams too then? Since they were friends

At the very beginning of our careers, Christopher Reeve and I were friends with a bunch of now well-known actors. Chris was undoubtedly the sweetest and most modest of the gang. Considering his astonishing good looks and success, Chris was the most self-effacing star I ever met.

The Hallmark movie you’re referencing is called PROMISE, and happens to be my personal favorite performance and experience. I was co-starring with my beloved Jim Garner, and it doesn’t get better than that. Thank you.

how do you pick a favorite James Woods role --- I particularly like "The Onion Field" and a TV movie he made with James Garner, can't remember the name but he played a schizophrenic --- just to name a couple --- I could name more, the thing is I've believed every role he played.

I would very much like to shake your hand, and appreciate your kind words.

The one and only actor I can think of whom I'd love to thank and shake hands with if I ever had the pleasure of running into him. Well, I wouldn't want to bother him if I ran into him, but Mr. James Woods is the only one I can think of in the industry whom I respect that much.

Ironically the same day I learned the government and Twitter colluded to suppress conservative voices, including mine, I had some great news. I was approved as a Son of the American Revolution. My heritage descends directly from a Revolutionary War patriot. I am deeply honored.

In less than one week I am thanking my newest 100,000 Twitter followers yet again. In the short time period since saved Twitter, I have welcomed 400,000 new friends into the fold. I am humbled and deeply grateful. During the Twitter Dark Days the needle never moved.

Take a moment to read this quote from Pearl Harbor Survivor Donald Stratton’s book: “All the Gallant Men” today marks 81 years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. #PearlHarbor81 #PearlHarborRemembranceDay #RememberPearlHarbor

My beloved father fought in the Pacific in World War II. He, like so many other civilian warriors, took up arms in the war against Imperial Japan. The tragedy of Pearl Harbor led ultimately to the greatest triumph in world history. #PurpleHeart

No matter what I might say, I’m never leaving. A hiatus from time to time is a healthy thing, of course. I love devoting time to my beloved (number one on my agenda), along with my dear family and friends. That said, I love my community on Twitter and appreciate you all so much.

😂😂😂 You just made my afternoon! 🤗 Was feeling so saddened yesterday evening at the prospect of you leaving Twitter. You don't realize how much you're respected & beloved in this community. Your input, wisdom & balanced outlook is very meaningful to most of us here. Don't go!

I’ve come to the decision that social media is a collection of echo chambers, and those with the biggest bullhorns are decimating conversations of merit. It’s simply too exhausting to endure honestly. I have a wonderful life. I’m going to go enjoy it. God bless you all.

I just had a moving conversation with one of my dearest friends. She is liberal. She is Jewish. We TOTALLY agree that extremism in this country is leading to a poisonous antisemitism that we BOTH abhor. If you know any antisemites, purge them from your life like the plague.

Anybody remember when they told us to stay home for fifteen days to “flatten the curve?” That was two years and nine months ago.

These are the heroes to whom we will forever be beholden. George Washington and all Revolutionary warriors founded a noble experiment the likes of which the world had never seen. The men and women of that time made sacrifices that reverberate to this day.

I can’t tell you all the fond memories I have of those times at Meadowbrook. So much fun with my beloved family. A little country golf course on a lovely summer afternoon in New England. Paradise.

I just noticed that I gained another 100,000 followers since saved Twitter from the suppressors of free speech. That’s 300,000 people in a few weeks, many of whose voices were silenced and are now free once again to enjoy the rights guaranteed by our constitution. 🙏

I do see this, and I hear you. While I do not know you, I know your heart and share your sorrow. You are who I’m doing this for. Thank you for sharing what so many of us have felt during this never-ending purge. It is you, sir, who should be thanked, and I humbly do so.

I know you'll never see this, I'm just a regular person, but please know you've given millions of us hope and a reason to go on. A humble thank you from a simple person.

Yes, I meant to say Hamilton, but said John Adams by mistake. At any rate Monroe was indeed just 18 years old that year. John Hancock was 39. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were 31 and 19 (possibly 21, his birth year uncertain) respectively.

I was shocked to learn the ages of Monroe and Hamilton during the signing of the declaration of independence. THANK YOU JAMES WOODS.

I wrote the foreword for Chris Wade’s book on . Chris is a film lover, not a film “critic,” so I think you’ll actually enjoy this one.

I did a lot of work on my book, THE FILMS OF OLIVER STONE, and it was so much fun to put together. It goes through all his movies, has a foreword from James Woods, and includes chats with Stone himself, as well as Donald Sutherland and others. amazon.com/Films-Oliver-S

The leftist haters have been ahead of the curve for years on Twitter, the world’s de facto public forum. All freedom lover has actually done so far is level the playing field. Even that simple exercise in pure democracy has driven them off the deep end.

Just reminding everybody what wonderful animals there are waiting to be loved. Check out this fuzz muffin, for example. 👇🏼

We were asked to help make space at a shelter where they are desperately trying to avoid euthanasia. These shelters work day and night trying to move dogs out. When rescues are out of space and money, there is nowhere for these dogs to go.👇

When David Cronenberg and I collaborated on a brilliant script of his called VIDEODROME, I marveled at his imagination. His logline was “Long live the new flesh,” alluding to the act of our bodies conjoining a never-ending video world. Now I marvel at his prescience.

The person wearing this crocheted toilet seat cover on her face needs a few history lessons. The science lessons would clearly be a waste of time.
