You look at that movie [Dude, Where's My Car?] now, and you know exactly when it was made. And that's what kids were like then.

More quotes by Brent Spiner
Rent Control is not a terrible movie, certainly not for the budget they had. And, again, it's such an '80s kind of thing.
Brent Spiner
Actually, I had a really nice part in that movie [Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains]. I mean, I have, like, one second in the final-cut version, where I say You're fired to Diane Lane. That's about all you see of me.
Brent Spiner
I know a guy who writes on the show, it was his episode, and he called and said, Would you do it? And I said, Yeah. There's not really much else to tell, except that I was thrilled to be on The Simpsons, because it's one of the greatest series in the history of television.
Brent Spiner
Rent Control was an interesting movie. It was directed by... I had done a couple of plays off Broadway, and this Italian director came, his name was Gian Luigi Polidoro, and he determined I was the person to play the lead in his low-budget comedy. He'd won an award at the Venice Film Festival, and... He was, y'know, a skilled director.
Brent Spiner
I think it was somewhere around age 3 when I fell down the stairs at my house, and I got up and did a Jerry Lewis impression and got a big laugh. And I thought, Oooh, I like that. I think I need to do this for a living!
Brent Spiner
It's fun to do something different. And there are things you can do in a small palate that you can't necessarily do in a larger role. You can go a little further and do things you could never pull off for any length of time, but you can do for the short run.
Brent Spiner
There's such a grand fraternity of actors who've played the Joker, not the least of whom is Mark Hamill, who voiced it for so long and was so great. I did it one time and... I've gotten some feedback on it from people who've seen it and really enjoyed it, but I don't know.
Brent Spiner
I mean, I'm the tag of the [ Big Bang Theory ] show! That was one of the easiest jobs I've ever had.
Brent Spiner
The one on Fresh Hell is a little easier, because we make it up. It's a strange kind of hybrid of the real me and... Well, obviously it's me standing there, and it's my voice and my face, but it's also kind of filtered through Harry Hannigan's take on the character, the one he's writing.
Brent Spiner
I've gotten such good feedback from that [re-team with Wil Wheaton for Big Bang Theory appearance], and I hardly did anything.
Brent Spiner
I didn't audition or anything like that. But I went into John Loganhis office... It was his screening room in his office, actually, and I sat and schmoozed with him for about two minutes, which I think is standard, and, y'know, we got on fine.
Brent Spiner
It seemed like an interesting movie [Independence Day], and I thought I had a take on the part that was going to be unique. That doesn't happen to me very often.
Brent Spiner
Any job you can go to and have a laugh everyday has got to be a good job.
Brent Spiner
I'm, like, y'know, I didn't have a problem doing one scene in Dude, Where's My Car? I'm certainly not going to have a problem doing one scene in a [Martin] Scorsese movie!
Brent Spiner
I think honestly, believe it or not, that Dude, Where's My Car? in a way represents its time better than almost any film made around that.
Brent Spiner
A job is a job. And I like to work.
Brent Spiner
I think I worked an average of about 10 minutes a day [in Big Bang Theory series]. It took longer to get to the studio than I actually worked. So I regard the driving there as the actual job. The work itself was just fun.
Brent Spiner
Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
Brent Spiner
Timing is everything, as you know.

Both of the Quaid brothers, Randy and Dennis, were in my class, and Tommy Schlamme, who produced and directed The West Wing with Aaron Sorkin, among many others. Marianne Williamson, who did A Course In Miracles, she was in my high-school drama class, too. So it was kind of an amazing class.
