More quotes by Andy Richter
The thing that's important for me to focus on is the balancing of the tension between satisfying myself and satisfying an audience, and making something that I think is good and funny, worthwhile, small-i important, versus something that's going to do well.
Andy Richter
I briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
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
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
My ability to notice that kind of thing, the sanctity of the bubble that you create, has not been so good in a way, in that I notice it concurrently with actually doing the thing. I always notice it in retrospect.

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.

It's funny, because Arrested Development is tied to Andy Richter in a few different ways. For me personally, after I did Andy Richter, one of the next things I did was a show called Quintuplets for a season for Fox, and this was while Arrested Development was on. I used to go over and hang out on their set.
Andy Richter
If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.
Andy Richter
I'm not that professional.
Andy Richter
It's a very nice thing to have a baby.
Andy Richter
I've always tried to be nice to people, so that sort of translates into popularity, I guess.
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
If somebody's looking at pictures of naked people and you go, 'Oh I don't want to see that,' you're lying. Cause naked people are always interesting. Always. Whether they're beautiful, or naked or 500 pounds.
Andy Richter
Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.
Andy Richter
I never just sit down and see what's on TV anymore. And also, I hate almost everything, so that keeps you reading magazines and doing crossword puzzles or whatever.
Andy Richter
I have a wife and child, and I guess that would constitute a family, and sometimes I watch shows where the people aren't related. And I don't get nervous, get the sweats, and have to run out of the room. I mean, I can handle it.
Andy Richter
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
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
Aside from accidentally by my kids, like wrestling around with my kids, no one has ever punched me in the face.
