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.

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
There are naked people in boots on a mountain top firing guns.
Andy Richter
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
Andy Richter
I'm not that professional.
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 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
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 think the people that are best at something, they don't think about it much. That's the whole key to being good at anything.
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
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 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 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
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.
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've always tried to be nice to people, so that sort of translates into popularity, I guess.
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
It's a very nice thing to have a baby.
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 mean, I'll say the filthiest things in the world, but when it comes down to it, I'm kind of a prude.
