More quotes by 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
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
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 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
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
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

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
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
Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.
Andy Richter
The people on Quintuplets were great, but I wasn't a producer on that show, and it wasn't exactly my taste.
Andy Richter
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
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
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.
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 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 briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
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.
