More quotes by 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
Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.
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.
Andy Richter
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.
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
No, I don't know any Emily Dickinson poems!
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 briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
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
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
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 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
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
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
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
I'm not that professional.
Andy Richter
There are naked people in boots on a mountain top firing guns.
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
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.
