More quotes by Charlie Day
I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.
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
Well, you know, I don't think anyone who writes a television series has a master plan from the beginning, and knows all the character traits, and everything that's going to happen.
Charlie Day
I put myself in the category of Lucky Guy, and my hopes for the future are that I can continue to push the envelope for myself, and creatively and see what's next.
Charlie Day
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
Charlie Day
Occasionally it can be a little disappointing to see rock gods in their 60s or 70s up on stage.
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'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 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
I'm always in the elements, it seems like it's pouring rain on me a lot and there's crowds of people pushing me around, and it feels very real. Which is great as a actor, you don't have to come up with too much of it. I'm always amazed.
Charlie Day
Technically, I'm a New Yorker.
Charlie Day
You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.
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 eat stickers all the time dude!
Charlie Day
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
Charlie Day
The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.
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
Hot soup at table is very vulgar it either leads to an unseemly mode of taking it, or keeps people waiting too long whilst it cools. Soup should be brought to table only moderately warm.
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 waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.
