 He'd never seen Seinfeld, so he didn't know who Puddy was or anything. |
| Let an audience be able to find it themselves without spoonfeeding it. |
| I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who's easy to like. He's not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what's going on. |
| I've actually become much, much dumber through being married and having these children. I find that I'm not half as sharp that I once was. I can't even help them with their 4th and 5th grade vocabulary and math work at this point. |
| So, deadpan I think just means not acknowledging for one second that you think that this is funny and clever. |
| All I try to do is as earnestly and as acutely as I can, conceive a character and try to portray this character just honestly. If the humor is within the absurdity and the awfulness of situations, then let it be seen that way. |
| Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action. |
| There's not a fortune to be made doing voiceover work unless you're one of the main voices on The Simpsons. See, there's The Simpsons, and then there's everything else. |
| I don't know if I ever really considered making a connection with the audience. |
| Never met Levinson. Ever. He directed those American Express spots for us for Seinfeld, and I was off on some guest spot that I didn't even want to do... and I got talked into doing it. |
| I always wanted to do a Disney movie. |
| You don't make a fortune doing cartoons. It's a lot of fun, it keeps you busy, and it's better than a kick in the pants, absolutely. But doing voiceover work doesn't make you rich. It just doesn't. |
| I have heard nothing from my friends at The Family Guy. Yeah, I heard that they got picked up again and all that good stuff, but I haven't heard anything yet. But, you know, I'm very elusive and hard to contact. |
| Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done. |
| I do believe that we have the opportunity to continue - I repeat myself over and over again with this - to redefine and reinvent ourselves and as long as we do that, then I think we've got some pretty good odds in our favor, because we're not always presenting the same thing. |
| The greatest risk is really to take no risk at all. You've got to go out there, jump off the cliff, and take chances. |
| You never know what's going to happen with television these days. |
| I'll work with Jerry Seinfeld any day of the week. Get a nice little paycheck there, but you do it for free. It's just good to be associated with that man. He's a great guy. |
| My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life. |
| I have a family to support. And I'm not always going to be doing exactly what I want to do. |
