Let an audience be able to find it themselves without spoonfeeding it.

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.

Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done.

Let an audience be able to find it themselves without spoonfeeding it.

So, deadpan I think just means not acknowledging for one second that you think that this is funny and clever.

I don't know if I ever really considered making a connection with the audience.

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.

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.

He'd never seen Seinfeld, so he didn't know who Puddy was or anything.

I believe I'm doing the right thing in trying to step away from that and to take chances and work on little independent films and do stuff like that wild dance scene.

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.

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.

You never know what's going to happen with television these days.

I always wanted to do a Disney movie.

I have a family to support. And I'm not always going to be doing exactly what I want to do.

I love westerns. I've always wanted to do a western.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.

I love the smell of skunks. Driving down a back road and you smell a skunk that's sprayed or been hit. I love that. It reminds me of home.

I feel so fortunate.

We must have respect for both plumbers and our philosophers, or neither our pipes or our theories will hold water.

I grew up and I became very successful at what I did as a young man. I became a work addict because this was the only way I could get any relief from this pain.

I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.

You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. The present attempt does not yield to that high office. It will merely tell how it really was.

There are always going to be encounters that you kind of wish went differently. But the average fan really isn't fanatical.

Maybe once in a while, you know, after a hard day of shooting or something like that, I'd kick back.

I'm going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: 'Lord, remember me.'

If people think of public art as something the public decides, it's impossible to make anything of substance.

My title is intended to suggest that the community of scientists is organized in a way which resembles certain features of a body politic and works according to economic principles similar to those by which the production of material goods is regulated.

Limits are very important.

I studied fine arts and architecture, but I decided to move into movie design because I grew up in a small town in the Marche region and spent a lot of time after school in the movie theater.

Sometimes negative news does come out, but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women, that is, the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

The one thing perhaps that technology hasn't always given us is a sense of how to make the wisest use of technology.

The ESPYS are about appreciating moments in sports and not looking down on it because it's maybe not your favorite athlete or your favorite team.

There's already a marriage clock, a career clock, a biological clock. Sometimes being a woman feels like standing in the lobby of a hotel, looking at the dials depicting every time zone in the world behind the front desk - except they all apply to you, and all at once.

It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

Being single is about celebrating and appreciating your own space that youre in. I couldnt have lived alone before. I always needed someone to share my space but now I like being by myself. If I want to be with people then I see my friends if I want a date then Ill have one.

There's no greater feeling than winning a race.

To be honest, I miss the old Hollywood way of having some mystique about the star.

You have to be tenacious, you have to be focused, you have to have a real vision, and be extremely passionate about it.

There is something I feel when I animate something; you can never really understand the character you're animating unless you've had the opportunity to turn it around. Once you've done that, you know it is a three-dimensional object.
