More quotes by Charlie Day
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
Charlie Day
I've never written anything that wasn't somewhat of a collaboration. I don't know how people do it on their own.
Charlie Day
I find that the majority of the year, I don't spend acting. I spend it either writing or editing or producing, or putting things together. So it's as shocking as it is tragic. I really enjoy it. It's a valuable skill set. I certainly feel like more of a grownup.
Charlie Day
I don't know any songs. People have asked me to play a song, and I say, I don't know anything.
Charlie Day
I am a classical fan. I like Debussy a lot, so I was trying to learn it on the piano. I've learned like a third of it, but I think I'm getting to a section that may be beyond my skill level.
Charlie Day
It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.
Charlie Day
I was the world's smallest man, covered in freckles with a squeaky, scratchy voice. And I still am, but I've learned to love myself.
Charlie Day
Both of my parents are actually music teachers. I think I got to a certain age where I decided I'd rather be a baseball player than a musician. Now, like most kids, I regret it.
Charlie Day
I'm really into everything. Something I've been asked throughout the years I've done the show is, What kind of music are you into? I find that to be a bizarre question, because it implies there are people out there that are only into one specific kind of music. But I think I, like most people, enjoy a wide variety of music.
Charlie Day
As an actor, sometimes you feel a pressure to change yourself from time to time.
Charlie Day
Occasionally it can be a little disappointing to see rock gods in their 60s or 70s up on stage.
Charlie Day
I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.
Charlie Day
I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run... Let yourself fail... And pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?
Charlie Day
I think we're all guilty of mistaking the actors we've seen over and over again - we think we know them.
Charlie Day
I always have my best thoughts on the toilet.
Charlie Day
Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.
Charlie Day
Cats do not abide by the laws of nature.
Charlie Day
The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.
Charlie Day
I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.
Charlie Day
I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”
Charlie Day
