If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.

More quotes by Andy Richter
I'm not that professional.
Andy Richter
I actually find something rewarding about that tension between satisfying myself and satisfying others. Because first of all, I can't provide my own structure, and that tension provides a structure for me to actually work within.
Andy Richter
It is rare, with people who are on television or celebrities or actors - it's rare to go to their house for a party and find they cooked. That's rare. Usually people don't cook for their own parties, and they don't buy their own gifts. There are people that do that, and that is a special thing. Those kind of little human touches are nice.
Andy Richter
I remember Ozzy Osbourne making a fuss on The Osbournes - people were making a big deal about him taking the garbage out, and he said, Well, who else is going to do it? The garbage is full, and you're standing right there. You're still a human being who is going to make yourself a sandwich.
Andy Richter
I don't waste a lot of time on profound embarrassment. I have always been somewhat the same person. I can think of maybe particular items of clothing that I think, Oh God, I used to wear that? But nothing serious. It's not like for a while I became some sort of goth wannabe. I've always pretty much been me.
Andy Richter
Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.
Andy Richter
I was prom king. Which is actually saying I was the sixth most popular, because the five who were on homecoming were automatically disqualified from prom, so of course I have to look at it that way.
Andy Richter
Outside from with my older brother - and this would have stopped about age 12 - I haven't been in a physical fight in my life. We used to punch each other, but that was little kid punching. You're too scared to hit anybody really.
Andy Richter
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.
Andy Richter
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.
Andy Richter
There are naked people in boots on a mountain top firing guns.
Andy Richter
Well, I refer to Celebrity Jeopardy as the short-bus Jeopardy, because it is a lot easier. Like, there was a whole column basically naming stores in New York.
Andy Richter
Aside from accidentally by my kids, like wrestling around with my kids, no one has ever punched me in the face.
Andy Richter
I mean, I'll say the filthiest things in the world, but when it comes down to it, I'm kind of a prude.
Andy Richter
I've always tried to be nice to people, so that sort of translates into popularity, I guess.
Andy Richter
No, I don't know any Emily Dickinson poems!
Andy Richter
Tell me what you want, and then I'll put in what I want... after I'm done with my codependent providing for you, I'll get a little for me too.
Andy Richter
One of the big tensions in my life is that I have known the stresses of financial hardship since I was a little kid, and it is the cancer for which I am seeking a cure.
Andy Richter
I feel like I'm a showbiz professional. This is my job, it's going to have ups and downs. I'm lucky to be able to do this for a living, but I also do feel like I don't anticipate changing the world. All I can really do is do a good job when I'm hired to do a job, and be happy at home.
Andy Richter
I wouldn't want to be a talk show host. That's another awkward compliment people make. 'You should have your own talk show.' And I think, no thank you.
Andy Richter
