More quotes by Charlie Day

Charlie Day
My parents are more likely to know who Franz Liszt is than Snooki.

Charlie Day
For the people who don't know, my character could described, in a nutshell, as the bar dumb-dumb.
Charlie Day
Occasionally it can be a little disappointing to see rock gods in their 60s or 70s up on stage.
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
Actors put ourselves in awkward positions all the time.
Charlie Day
Both of my parents are actually music teachers.
Charlie Day
I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.
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
I didn’t know that it was going to launch a quote-unquote comedic career. I just wanted to do anything other than wait tables.
Charlie Day
