More quotes by 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'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 always have my best thoughts on the toilet.
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
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
Charlie Day
As an actor, I think every moment in your life is giving you a new set of tools. You’re constantly absorbing new information that you can put back onto the screen.
Charlie Day
Occasionally it can be a little disappointing to see rock gods in their 60s or 70s up on stage.
Charlie Day
Thinking of Plan B muddies up your chances of succeeding at Plan A.
Charlie Day
Writing is like pulling your hair out. You have nothing, and you can't think of anything, but you have to think of something.
Charlie Day
You're responsible for your own character to a degree, because when it comes to the final draft of the script, you might say, Well, I think maybe I could add this here, add that there. But I find that I write just as well for the other characters as I do for myself. I think.
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 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
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
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
Everyone knows what it's like to feel like the underdog. Everyone wants to be accepted. Ultimately, everybody wants to be loved.
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
Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.
Charlie Day
I eat stickers all the time dude!
Charlie Day
You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.
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
